From Pride Month stepping off to the summer about to begin, there is a clear necessity to ensure that the music matches the vibe. Whether you slay the house down boots or need a soundtrack to your next adventure, TuneTransit is here to ensure that we keep the party going. From the beginning, we have always been determined to ensure that different music streaming platforms should not stand in the way of that mission. With Version 2.1, we have made intentional updates to every part of the TuneTransit experience that make the app even better than ever while making the act of sharing music with your friends that much easier. For TuneTransit Premium users, In-App Search is our latest addition to the TuneTransit experience where you can search for songs and albums without even leaving the app that you are streaming from.

When selecting TuneTransit from the Share Sheet in supported apps, TuneTransit will run a search and link generation directly in the sheet without needing to open the main app. This takes advantage of Apple Foundation Models on iOS 26+ as well as condensed search algorithms from the main app to perform quick searches. Check it out and let us know what you think! (Available for all TuneTransit Premium users) - Introducing our newest theme: Pride! Celebrate diversity with a vibrate rainbow gradient all year round by navigating to Settings -> Appearance to change your app theme.

For Apple Music users, this should result in more consistent ordering of recently played tracks along with improved stability across the board. - TuneTransit will now clear the Recently Played and TuneTransit Station caches of previously played songs after new updates.

With Version 2.0, we have added two new features that enrich the TuneTransit experience: Tap to Tune and Live Capture! Tap to Tune allows you to share a track from Now Playing with one tap, and Live Capture listens to the world around you to search music via your device's microphone.

Now Boarding: TuneTransit v1.9 - Spotify Upgrades, Search Improvements, UI Refinements, and Bug Fixes! Since our Aurora upgrade last month, we have been hard at work in making the TuneTransit experience even better for our riders. Beyond that however, we are also making upgrades to our infrastructure that will allow TuneTransit to continue operating at full capacity well into the future. In order to continue providing an optimal experience for all of our supported platforms, we knew that we had to be creative in how we work behind the scenes to ensure the same experience you know and love, but with improvements all around. In this update, we have notably upgraded our Spotify search engine to be more resilient, accurate, and in some cases faster than our previous releases! As Spotify continues to modernize their platform, this new engine allows us to continue supporting their platform in the near term while also ensuring compatibility with future releases on both sides.

In this update, we are thrilled to announce that we are adding another device to the TuneTransit compatibility list - Vision Pro! While some may say that we could have introduced this when we launched, we wanted to take the time to make the experience on Vision Pro feel seamless and compliment the beauty of visionOS. This means that TuneTransit runs natively and delivers a familiar but new experience on our Aurora platform, and we can't wait for you to try it out.

Aurora signifies the path ahead for our design, but through it all, we also want to make sure that the TuneTransit experience is as stable and memorable as it has always been. Version 1.8.2 continues that mission with a handful of bug fixes and improvements recommended for all TuneTransit users. Of course... we want to make sure that we still have some new surprises in store as well! With that in mind, this update contains the following bug fixes and improvements: Improvements: - We have added a new double tap action to our Search tab icon on iPhone!

Introducing TuneTransit 1.8: The Aurora Update! For our first major update of 2026, we wanted to set a foundation that would push us towards our goal of becoming the ultimate music sharing app. In doing so, it became clear that TuneTransit needed an identity for its users -- a design that would look and feel like the service that they use on a daily basis. When we were finished with an entire weekend of creating this massive upgrade, there was only one word that could describe it: Aurora. Aurora is our new design language embedded across the entire TuneTransit experience, and it's clearly the biggest design upgrade that we have delivered to the app since launch. Notably, this design touches every part of TuneTransit to provide the same features you know and love, but with a premium feel. From App Themes to a redesigned Navigation Bar, there is something in this update for everyone! NOTE: Version 1.8.1 has been released to deliver several bug fixes and performance improvements, including a fix for a critical bug introduced in Version 1.8 that would cause TuneTransit to stop operating properly in times of heavy network activity.

This enhancement combines our new Aurora design with artwork immersion to deliver a beautiful new UI. Check it out! - Introducing App Themes!

Introducing TuneTransit 1.8: The Aurora Update! For our first major update of 2026, we wanted to set a foundation that would push us towards our goal of becoming the ultimate music sharing app. In doing so, it became clear that TuneTransit needed an identity for its users -- a design that would look and feel like the service that they use on a daily basis. When we were finished with an entire weekend of creating this massive upgrade, there was only one word that could describe it: Aurora. Aurora is our new design language embedded across the entire TuneTransit experience, and it's clearly the biggest design upgrade that we have delivered to the app since launch. Notably, this design touches every part of TuneTransit to provide the same features you know and love, but with a premium feel. From App Themes to a redesigned Navigation Bar, there is something in this update for everyone! With that in mind, this major update contains the following bug fixes and enhancements: Enhancements: - Introducing our new Now Playing design!
