We just announced a mobile version of one of our most addictive and popular features, the iLike Challenge. Anyone with an iPhone or iPod Touch can download the iLike Challenge app today to test your musical knowledge and play real time against friends (two players can even play against one another on the same device).
We also recently launched our enhanced Local Concerts App, which is already the #1 free concert app on the iPhone/iPod. We simultaneously announced that more than 250 artists have launched custom iPhone apps using our platform.
The Local Concerts app by iLike lists upcoming shows in a user’s area and provides links to buy tickets. The new upgrade (available soon pending Apple approval) adds 2 key features to make it the must-have app for anybody who enjoys live music:
- Personalization: The app scans the music on your iPod or iPhone and provides custom concert listings to match.
- Notifications: We alert you on your phone whenever an artist in your music collection announces a local concert.
To download one of our iPhone apps, or if you’re an artist and you want to join hundreds of others who have created a custom iPhone app using iLike, go to: www.iLike.com/mobile

The Reviews Are In:
“iLike’s pushtastic iPhone app lets you know when your favorite bands are coming to town . . . iLike is launching a new iPhone application today that takes advantage of the iPhone 3.0 update’s new features in some of the best ways that we’ve seen yet. Dubbed ‘Local Concerts’, the application lets you follow any artist you’d like and receive alerts whenever they announce that they’re coming to a local venue. For anyone who has ever tried to keep tabs on their local music scene, this is going to be a must-have.”
-- TechCrunch
“Bands on the prowl for a quick and reasonable way to commission a custom iPhone app finally have a place to go. Music discovery service iLike, which gained a large following with its Facebook app, is providing musicians with an automated system for creating and managing their own downloadable iPhone applications . . . Already, more than 300,000 musical acts use iLike to manage their website profiles or Facebook app pages. The iPhone piece ties in with that system, meaning once a band uploads a tour date, it's blasted out to all three platforms.”
-- The Los Angeles Times

The download free MP3 option still isn't working on ilike. All these tracks are supposed to be free! Are you still having technical trouble?
