Downloaded the listenr App a few days ago and I just used it.
Pros:
- The people who I follow on tumblr primarily for the visual things they promote also have good taste in music.
- The user experience is almost identical to those of you familiar with pandoras app.
- You can like and reblog music from this app to tumblr.
- Your likes can be organized into a playlist
Cons:
- I am only allowed to search for music that is posted by individuals that I follow.
- The individuals that I follow are often too lazy to tag the songs properly.
- The lack of tags, combined with the limited amount of music makes the search option all but useless.
- On wifi the app worked without a hitch, on 3g it was choppy at times.
My rating 4 out of 5. I will post a video review shortly to explain this number.
