Overview

The Music feature is a great way to share and sell tracks inside your app. You can import, upload or link to music files to easily integrate them within the app. If you include the Music feature within your app, be sure to enable Audio Background Play in the Publish step before you publish your app. This will allow music to play continuously even after users navigate away from your app.

Note: Custom track file size cannot exceed 6 MB. Files larger than this will not upload successfully to the platform. 

Great for these industries:

• Clubs
• Musicians & DJs
• Fitness Studios

Monetization ideas:

• Use the app to promote and sell music through the app. 
• Provide music to accompany workout routines.
