'Flo Music' is a new app that allows users to create social playlists with friends and family. When listening to music with others, it is inevitable that someone will make a request for a different track. This app facilitates a shared music experience by giving users the power to create social playlists in real time.
Flow Music functions as a virtual jukebox by using WiFi to sync up nearby phones. To use the app, the host simply invites friends and family to join a designated group. Those who wish to contribute can then tune into the playlist and add tracks in real time. The same tracks are played on each devices at the same time, meaning everyone can enjoy the playlist together. While everyone in the group has the power to add their own tracks, the host can choose to skip songs or pause as they see fit.
The app ultimately facilitates a seamless shared music experience for up to 10 users at a time.
