It seems there are countless new messaging apps popping up every month for mobile devices.  Mobile chat is currently one of the most popular platforms in consumer technology and many different companies are trying to jump on the bandwagon.  However, most of these apps aren’t very different from each other.  Many use basic text, others use photos, and some even use videos.  However, with such an explosion of options becoming available, it is very difficult to find a messaging app that does something truly different or unique.  Cool product Pingtune is a messaging app that manages to stand out from its competition due to its creative medium for messaging: music.  Pingtune lets users send messages in the form of songs to their friends.  Pingtune users can take music available from SoundCloud and YouTube and embed them in special messages to send to others.  Users who have difficulty getting songs to embed correctly in their messages should seek help from a mobile IT support service.

While the obvious use of this platform would be to share music with others, Pingtune doesn’t assume that is the only purpose people will have for their service.  This cool product lets its users be creative with the songs they choose to send to their friends.  Rather than merely forcing users to send full recordings, Pingtune lets people cut out specific clips and sections of songs to send to others.  This could let people create and share musical jokes with each other through the app.  If users are in the mood for some challenging fun, they could even try to have regular conversations using lyrics from song clips.  This creative aspect adds whimsical fun to the equation for Pingtune and elevates it beyond a standard music-sharing app for your smartphone.

One catch with this cool product is that Pingtune currently has limited availability.  Pingtune can only send songs available from YouTube and SoundCloud for now.  If you do not use those services, then you will have trouble using the app.  The good news is that Pingtune’s developers are working on solutions to add other streaming music services such as Spotify to the platform.  Pingtune is also currently limited exclusively to iOS. While the developers say an Android app is coming as well, for now Pingtune users will have to contact iPhone tech support when they need help with the service.
