For me, the ironic thing about this is that it's more an app for consumers than for creators, though it's marketed as the opposite. Except for noting down ideas on the go, or perhaps doing a quick recording of a demo when they can't get to their home station or studio, I don't really know any artists who create on the go. The creative process, particularly when it comes to writing and recording music, is much more intimate and painstaking than it seems this app would allow for. In a way, I can understand why SC would look to this as a good idea; they need to increase the amount of material on their service in the coming year if they're going to compete with other players like Apple and Spotify. But it seems to me that this isn't exactly the right way to do so, as it underscores (for me) that they're not completely distinguishing between their demographics of creators/producers and music consumers. I think mixing those two groups can lead to a muddled view of one's broad userbase, and can produce larger problems in the future. I'll be interested to see what ends up happening, but for the moment, I'm not sure that this is as great an idea as it might seem on the drawing board.

I'm wondering why this needs to be its own app instead of just having this functionality built into the regular SC iOS app. I've always been curious why so many features (comments and track statistics specifically) were omitted from the regular Soundcloud app.

Adding to this, for someone like me who has multiple versions of the song bounced out and uploaded as private tracks, it would be convenient to be able to play back and know what version i want to share with other people.

Interesting tidbit for devs: Built in React Native and took 3 months from start to finish!
