Jukebox Genius is an app designed by Tom Callaghan for all the music lovers who would want to make their music library more fun and interesting. They can now know their collection better by playing this game which not only tests their knowledge about their music library but also helps them interact with others.
The app involves identifying the song, artist, album, or genre after listening to snippets playing on the Apple device. The songs are chosen from the iPod library and the aim of the game is to guess as many as possible to unlock the subsequent levels. Jukebox Genius provides the option of a multiplayer game along with a single player mode. You can challenge your Facebook friends to play this game and compete on the global leaderboard. The track of the scores is maintained and adds a level of competition to the game.
This app can be downloaded for free and is therefore available for everyone who loves listening to music and would want to play a game out of it. Those who wish to unlock the new levels without playing the game for long can pay 99c. It is easy to start and you just need to tap PLAY to begin the challenge. The player has to listen to random excerpts from their collection and pick the artist from a list of five. If the player takes time to choose, his points begin to fall as the options are removed every few seconds. Thus, the player needs to be sure and quick about his response to continue climbing the scoreboard.
If the player is aware of the name of the artist, he’ll start by breaking into the top 40. To unlock the next difficult levels involving Album Cover and Album Song, he’ll have to reach the top 25, then 20 and eventually the top 5. The player needs to break the record of others and be better than them. New levels keep unlocking as the player proceeds.
Jukebox Genius is bright and has the feel of a real jukebox. It displays Facebook images of the players along with images of the artists and albums. The app adds a twist to the playlist. The game has been designed to keep the player high on energy with lots of bonus rounds. The bonus round gives the player an opportunity to improve on their score. The app is interactive and makes the player and his friends understand each other’s genres. In the multiplayer mode, the players listen to the song and the fastest one to choose the correct option wins that point. A player can play with more than one friend at the same time and his scores are displayed separately along with that of his opponents. The app offers a wide variety of options even for a single player.
The game can be played anywhere and promises never ending challenges. In the course of the game, the player learns a lot about his already existing library and details of his favorite songs. The app is in English and is simple to understand. But, for people who are not comfortable with this language cannot enjoy this app. The one problem with the app is that those who have limited number of songs in their music library often face repetitive challenges. It is most suitable for people with a huge music collection so that they have more songs to be questioned on.
Jukebox Genius is for people who would want to enjoy it in their free time and also for those who want to stay connected with friends.
