One of the most attractive possibilities of the social network VKontakte is to search and listen to music. Mail.Ru Corporation, the current owners of this social network, in the spring of 2017 there were several reforms, as a result of which a separate music application appeared in social networks belonging to Corporation - Boom.
Access to music VKontakte and Odnoklassniki
The application can be logged in as using Vkontakte account and classmates.
Depending on this, either music from VC, or from OK. The main thing is to allow the application access to the account.
Assortment of tracks and albums
In many ways, the developers boom focused on popular services such as Google Music and Apple Music.
Music is sorted by categories: new releases, popular with users, as well as recommendations suitable for you.
In general, the choice is very rich, plus navigation is very convenient.
Music ribbon
Being musically oriented, Boom nevertheless kept some functions of the "big brother" in itself - for example, access to news feed.
However, everything is not so simple here - only those records are displayed to which audio files are attached. From this window, you can access the records that you saved in bookmarks.
Property features VKontakte
Naturally, from the boom you can access your collection of tracks in VC.
In addition to listening to already available music, there is a boot option from the device's memory.
In the "Wall" tab, you can view recordings from your wall. As in the case of a ribbon, only containing attached tracks are displayed.
You can view the musical collections of your friends and communities in which you are.
Unfortunately, some of the music is available only by paid subscription - these are the features of the reforms of the owners of VKontakte.
If you need advanced features - you can use the VK Coffee app.
Music search
From boom, a search for both individual tracks and albums of certain performers are available.
Of course, you can search for the performers themselves, and the application knows how to display both tracks in your collection, and not yet added music. At the same time, the search results can be found and dedicated to a particular performer of the community.
Opportunities of the built-in player
The player coming with the boom is not very rich in opportunities.
There are functions of repetition, reproducing in random order and broadcasting music into status. An interesting feature is to find similar tracks - a button with a picture of a magic stick in the player control panel.
The algorithm of this option works adequately, so that black-metal lovers will not recommend Alla Pugachev ?. Of the additional grascles it is worth noting the equalizer, also quite simple.
Topics and settings
BOOM has a choice between a dark and bright theme.
However, both themes are quite bright, so that for night use you still have to change the overall brightness of the device. Still in the settings you can only install the Wi-Fi download or prohibit the device to go into sleep mode.
