SoundCloud's Pulse, the straightforward app unveiled last November that lets creators on the platform quickly manage and monitor activity around their music uploads, has arrived on iOS.
Pulse mirrors similar moves made by SoundCloud competitors like Pandora (AMP), Spotify (Insights) and YouTube (YouTube For Artists) over the past 14 months as companies begin sharing listening habits, location data and other streaming information that artists can use to help them chart tours or get a better handle on the metrics behind their fan base, for instance. The app is available in the Google Play store.
As it offers some back-end spine for creators the company is still focused on listeners, having released a curatorial play with "stations" earlier this month.
