In the free version users can create up to 10 personalized stations, look at the stations that are being played nearby in real time, and interact with other users through instant chat. The paid, premium subscription removes advertisements and allows users to create an unlimited number of stations. It was launched in 2009> by Soundtracker, and as of December 2014 the service had 1.3 million registered users.[

Beginnings

The company was formed in late 2008 by a team composed of Daniele Calabrese

Evolution

The first mobile platform, iOS, was developed by Daniele Calabrese and his team in Silicon Valley in 2009.[8] The iOS app at its inception featured 13 million tracks and allowed geo-tagging.[9]

In 2010 the team moved to Boston where it developed the stations, push notifications, interaction with nearby listeners, and the app for Windows Phone 7.[10][11] Also in 2010, a website was introduced to provide access to non-mobile users, and the app was made available on Android, Java, Windows 7 and BlackBerry platforms.
