Whether it’s to help us study or work, to fuel our workouts or simply to entertain us, music has a unique way of becoming a part of every aspect of our lives. And the way we acquire, listen to and manage our music is changing.
It wasn’t too long ago that we were buying, downloading and storing music for our own personal enjoyment. Now we’re more often discovering, sharing and streaming music with others through mobile apps and devices. BlackBerry’s PRIV, with the power of the Google Play Store, is a gateway to a ton of apps that connect us to our music, including the widely-known Apple Music mobile app.
Apple making an Android app that runs marvelously on a BlackBerry device may have once seemed unlikely. But one of the advantages of PRIV is having access to nearly 2 million Android apps in the Google Play Store, including music apps like Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, and many, many more.
Apple Music is a subscription-based service with unlimited access to well over 30 million songs. It’s the perfect time to give it a try, as Apple Music is offering Android users a free three-month trial when they download the app from the Google Play store.
Apple Music helps you discover new music by offering recommendations for new artists or songs based on what you’ve listened to before. Its Connect feature gets you even closer to your favorite artists who share sound clips, videos and photos you might not see anywhere else. Besides artists and albums, Apple Music can be used to tune into streaming radio services that go beyond music and link you to radio shows and interviews.
BlackBerry’s PRIV offers a great way to experience music. We all know that BlackBerry is best in class when it comes to secure communication, and the same can be said to how you interact with the most wonderful way to communicate – through song. The beautifully rich 5.4-inch dual curved display helps to frame an app like Apple Music, and gives users an unparalleled view at song lists, recommended tracks, album art and artist details. The iconic slide-out physical keyboard helps you browse and search for songs without hindering the view on the touch screen.
Whether you prefer to listening to your music through the internal speaker underneath the keyboard, your favorite wired headphone or a Bluetooth speaker, the BlackBerry PRIV will give you long-lasting listening pleasure with its massive 3410 mAh battery. So even if you fall asleep, the music will go on and on (and on and oooon…).
While the BlackBery PRIV is best known for security and performance, you know what they say about all work and no play. Fortunately, with PRIV you don’t have to choose productivity or entertainment; with access to all the apps on Google Play, PRIV makes it easy to find a music (or other) app that suits any of your entertainment or productivity needs.
With nearly 2 million Android apps available in Google Play, it can take time to find the apps you want. Check out the following reviews of some of the top apps available for your PRIV:
