Twitter’s experimental beta testing app is available today

[ad_1] You can apply for the company’s Prototype Program now, although we’ll be honest: the chances are slim that you’ll get in. Twitter only plans to invite roughly 2,000 English and Japanese speakers at this stage, and there’s only mention of supporting iOS so far. The one consolation is that those users can share their […]

Tidal adds high-fidelity audio to its iOS app

[ad_1] Master audio is still only available for certain tracks, and its worth is ultimately dictated by the hardware you use to listen. This won’t improve the sound of your favorite indie artist.
