Introducing Tripmix
We’re happy to announce the release of our third application, Tripmix, to the iPhone App Store.
Tripmix is a fun little app that came out of Jonathan’s long road trips from Idaho to California and back. Jonathan and his wife could never agree on what music they’d like to listen to. She always wanted to suggest Hall & Oats and he would suggest Nightwish. So they come up with a sort of routine or game they would use to figure out what to listen to. She’ll pick an artist and then listen to 3 songs by that artist and then he’d pick an artist and listen to 3 songs from that artist and so on and so forth. Only problem with that though is often times they still have no idea what artist they’d like to listen to. 
It came to them on their last trip that it’d be great if there was an iPhone app that’d do all this work for them. The idea for Tripmix was born. It’d randomly choose an artist and then play 3 songs from that artist. Then it’d randomly choose another artist and play 3 songs, so on and so forth. If they didn’t feel like listening to the artist that started playing they could shake the phone to pick a new artist. Together they brainstormed what features it’d have. She sketched out UI concepts while he tried to keep his eyes on the road. Passing all the interstate signs even gave them the inspiration for the icon. Harold’s taken the UI concept sketches and ideas and turned them into something truly gorgeous.
After playing with Tripmix for awhile now, it turns out we’re having a lot of fun using it anytime we’re in the car and not just long road trips. We’ll be working on an update to make this use case better. In the meantime, if you have any travel plans this Holiday season, why not take Tripmix along for the ride?
