Google is dedicated to bringing its services to platforms like iOS too and this is one step by the company towards that direction. Word is that the Internet giant will be releasing a native iOS app for Google Play Music and All Access later this month. According to a report by Engadget, sources have let it slip that the company is already testing a native Google Music iOS application internally. Google has currently invited its employees to take part in the internal testing at the moment but there still seem to be some bugs that need squashing before the application is released to the general public.
Coming to iOS soon!
Previously Google had shut its doors on iOS users since it needed Flash to enforce DRM restrictions set in place by Music labels that Apple was unable to comply with. This had forced users of iOS to make do with unofficial iOS applications as well as the limited web application previously. Now it looks like Google is close to alleviating iOS users’ pain of wanting to use the official Google Play Music application. Google first introduced Google Play Music’s All Access service back during its I/O conference earlier this year. The streaming service was to make its way to iOS in “the coming weeks” but failed to come to Apple’s operating system then. The time has finally here, it would seem. Currently, Google Play Music and All Access is available in 19 countries around the world and is available for about $10 a month, allowing users to listen to music on demand and upload tracks from their personal library as well as letting them build custom stations. The move to hurry with the iOS version of the app could have come even as Apple has released its iTunes Radio service with the iOS 7 OS. While it’s only available in the US currently, Google might want to scamper to find users in the iOS ecosystem before iTunes Radio turns into fierce competition.
