Though Apple doesn't appear to have opened up CarPlay access to its wider development community, the number of compatible apps does continue to expand, with streaming radio services iHeartRadio and Rdio adding support in recent updates.
Gamers and music lovers both have App Store updates to be happy about Thursday, as Rovio released the latest edition of its blockbuster Angry Birds franchise and streaming radio firm Rdio unveiled a major update with a focus on stations.
Music and television show discovery app Shazam on Monday rolled out an update that integrates Internet radio service Rdio, offering in-app track streaming to users of both products.
Streaming music service Rdio has added support for Google’s Chromecast media accessory, the company announced today. What that means is that you’ll be able to send your Rdio music from your iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Chrome for Mac and Chrome for Windows to your Chromecast-connected TV or HDMI display wirelessly. Using Rdio’s existing remote feature, you’ll also be able…
For the past two years, Rdio's music app for iOS has come with a maddening deficiency. You could create and listen to playlists ad nauseam, but if you wanted to make any major changes to them, you'd need to head over to a computer. It was such a basic thing, and one that's now been fixed as part of a software update that went out today. Now you can move tracks around, add other people to collaborate on playlists, and customize what artwork is shown up top....
Rdio today updated its iOS app with playlist editing and reviews. The former means you can remove and rearrange tracks, customize the playlist artwork, change its visibility and collaboration settings, and so on. The latter means you can now write album and playlist reviews as well as read reviews by critics and other people on Rdio....

Rdio promised us back in September that recommendations were on their way, and you’ll find them now inside the app’s latest iOS update. The release also delivers a redesigned stations player, various user interface improvements, and some bug fixes.

Tumblr has updated its iOS application for iPhone and iPad with new sharing options and other features – a move which follows yesterday’s launch of Tumblr for Windows Phone. Unfortunately, however, the iOS version didn’t get the fancy new, almost Path-like animations the Android version received earlier this month. So yeah, the Android version is currently the better application.
Rdio has refreshed its iPhone app with an attractive new look for its song list view and also implemented new social integration that lets users see what their friends have been listening to from the list view....
Rdio has been slowly refining its iOS app over the last few months, but buried in a seemingly minor update to version 2.1.3 today was a pretty major change: an entirely new list view and album view for your music. The new look puts album art front and center, and brings its new minimal, almost serene aesthetic to more of the interface. The app also brings some social features more prominently to the mobile interface, giving you more of a window into your friends' activity and showing related playlists...
Rdio on Wednesday updated its native iOS app with a new design as well as two new features: long press and badges. You can download the latest version now directly from the Apple App Store....
Rdio — for my money, the best à la carte streaming music subscription service out there — just released a nice update to their iOS app, making it easier (and prettier) than ever to interact with your music.
It can be tough to keep up with all the new apps released every week. But you're in luck -- here's our app roundup.
This week’s roundup of iOS apps includes offerings across a variety of realms—including Westeros. Already this week, we’ve brought you reviews of Fantastical for iPhone, WordPress for iOS, and Minecraft Reality, as well as news of updates to Google Drive’s iOS app....
With Spotify recently launching a web player in beta, a place where Rdio’s long held the upper hand, the subscription music world is heating up again. Today, Rdio is launching a full redesign of its iOS app — and finally pushing the Android beta into the Google Play store— and it’s one the best subscription music mobile apps we’ve seen on any platform. We got a chance to check out the new iOS app on iPhone, but it's also now available for iPad....
Entertainment Many of us listen to music on our iPhones everyday. To do so, we often switch between the Music app, for music from our iTunes libraries, and the Spotify app. This back...
Rdio fans rejoice, today the music streaming service updated its iOS application to include better support for both iOS 6 and the iPhone 5′s new screen size. The update, version…
Don’t stop the music. It seems obvious, but MOG is the first of the big on-demand music streaming services to get this right on a tablet. Today MOG officially releases its iPad app, and it includes MOG Radio which when enabled will continue to play songs after your currently queued tracks finish. No more hours of accidental silence. It’s also retina-ready to crisply display artwork, bios, editor’s picks, and reviews. Compared to Rdio’s iPad app and Spotify for iPhone (no iPad app available), MOG has the...
The high-resolution on Apple's new iPad is a perfect way to show off Rdio's new graphics-heavy redesign, so the company wasted little time updating its app with Retina-ready album art and app graphics. Version 1.3.6 will cost you 5.6MB of storage space, which isn't so bad given what we've heard about app sizes increasing as graphics are updated, and it's available now for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. The new graphics won't do much for the latter devices, though the update does also include the...
Ultimate Sharks: SHARKS! It's Shark Week folks and that means a constant loop of scary shark videos, lovely shark bites and messy shark attacks on TV during dinnertime. But you want MORE sharks don't you? You want to know what makes these beasts tick even though you don't want to take a dip with them. It's understandable. The Ultimate Sharks app, made by Discovery as a pseudo-companion app to Shark Week, gives you lists (10 deadliest sharks), tons o' videos, high res pictures and even 3D interactive...
Rdio has today released a version of its popular music streaming app that is tailored for Apple’s iPad, bringing a gorgeous interface that looks much like the native Mac app….
Spotify may be stealing all the hype and pub for streaming music services but let's not kid around here, Rdio still makes the best music apps across any platform. They just released their iPad app and it's as great as you'd expect. If you're not familiar with Rdio, just know that it was our favorite streaming music app because of its combination of selection, social aspects and quality music apps. I mean, what's a good music service without a good music player, right? The iPad app double downs on that...
We heard that it was on its way to an iOS device near you, and now Rdio for iPad has finally arrived. Social music subscription service Rdio is already available on a bevy...
The end of the month is here, and that means it's time to do a little housekeeping on our list of the absolute best iPhone apps. Who will be inducted? Who will unceremoniously get the boot? Rdio: It's our favorite subscription music service and can easily replace your iPod app altogether. The baked-in social elements make it super easy to find new music your friends are digging, and the whole app just got an attractive makeover. $10/month.

Tap Translate: Translate foreign language words right in Safari—no need to switch to another app. Worth checking out if you're routinely finding yourself befuddled by weird lookin' words. $2. IntoNow: It's like Shazam for TV. Just hold up your phone to any TV show from the last five years or so (or any movie that's been broadcasted on TV) and it'll tell you what episode you're watching. Crazy. Free. Rdio: Rdio, our favoritest streaming music service, got a nice makeover and some new features to...
You've seen the commercials; Apps are what makes an iPad come to life. Here are the very best ones for work, play, creation, consumption and everything in between.

Flipboard: A true testament to the iPad's transformative powers, Flipboard scrapes your Twitter and Facebook feeds for links and arranges them in a...
There's an ocean of apps out there. Whether you just got your iPhone and are feeling adrift or you're a salty old dog seeing what you might've missed, here are the absolutely essential apps. Twitter: Twitter thankfully didn't make too many changes when they gobbled up the already-great Tweetie 2 from Atebits—same clean interface, same Tweet swiping, and the same it-feels-so-good pull to refresh mechanism. Free. Facebook: The new, panel-based interface takes a little getting used to, but once you're...
