Moodagent v2.0 has arrived
It is with great pleasure that Syntonetic introduces Moodagent v2.0!!
Syntonetic has listened to all of your feedback since Moodagent launched nearly six months ago, and it’s because of your suggestions and opinions that we now bring you this next feature-packed version. We sincerely thank you.
First, we want to tell you about the new social sharing features. Now you can broadcast your playlists on Twitter and Facebook, and your Facebook friends will have the added bonus of viewing the entire playlist. Sometimes it’s just easier to let the music speak for you.
We are also happy to tell you that one of your most-requested features – longer playlists – has been incorporated into v2.0. You can now create playlists anywhere from 1-50 songs.
You’ll also find all of the following new features in Moodagent v2.0:
- Refresh or create multiple playlists from a single slider setup.
- Lock a track to ensure a particular song appears each time the playlist is refreshed.
- Exclude a track or artist from inclusion in playlists, for example holiday music.
- Label the touchscreen sliders.
- Use the app in English, or localize by selecting Chinese (simplified), Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish.
So that we can continue to offer you Moodagent at no charge, you’ll find that the app is now ad-supported. But keep an eye open for the ad-free version of Moodagent, launching soon for a small charge.
So what are you waiting for?
Go to iTunes now to download Moodagent v2.0:

Will you bring Playlist DJ out for Symbian users? And if yes are you doing a Qt version for N8?

Out of sheer curiosity, I did a search for Moodagent on the web, and lo, I find this article.
I wonder why you didn’t bother mentioning that this supposed “upgrade” for your long time app-users was actually a downgrade for us instead. I downloaded Moodagent when it was free and had no ads, only to find that I had an update waiting for me in my App Store application. The word “free” plastered across the bottom of the app was my first red flag. I decided to read up on the reviews for Moodagent to see what the deal was, and I find 1-star reviews down the board, claiming that now the app had advertisements in it. Not only that, but the greatest insult is that you decided to charge $5 for an app that was once offered for free.
The only difference there seems to be between the new free version and the $5 version is that the paid one has no ads. Really? No extra features, no extra options, nothing to truly distinguish it from your new free version? You guys must be joking.
“Syntonetic has listened to all of your feedback since Moodagent launched nearly six months ago, and it’s because of your suggestions and opinions that we now bring you this next feature-packed version.”
I don’t think you listened well enough. I highly doubt anyone suggested “Please add advertisements and put a huge “Free” on the app’s icon”.
“So that we can continue to offer you Moodagent at no charge, you’ll find that the app is now ad-supported. But keep an eye open for the ad-free version of Moodagent, launching soon for a small charge.”
The way to properly offer a new paid version is to allow those users who downloaded the app for free before the update to KEEP THEIR CURRENT VERSION. It’s called “Grandfather Clause”. In case you don’t know what that is, here’s the Wiki for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_clause. An “upgrade” should never ever ever be a downgrade.
And as for the words “small charge”? $.99 is a small charge. $5.00 is outrageous. Simply and completely outrageous. With all due respect, as much as I feel that Moodagent is a revolutionary idea and pretty much the only one of its kind, it is simply not a good enough app to be charging that much money.
“We sincerely thank you.”
No, Syntonetic, WE thank YOU!
