Twitter's music app is reportedly being taken off the App Store officially due to lack of popularity.
The Twitter #Music app attempted to harness conversations around music and artists on Twitter to create a new way to discover music. However, the app failed to strike the right chord among users who preferred many competing music apps on the market.
While discontinuing the app, Twitter said that this does not mark the end of its efforts to help users discover new music:
Twitter #Music was built by the team behind the music-discovery service We Are Hunted, which Twitter acquired in 2012 and subsequently shut down.
While the app integrated with popular apps like Spotify and Rdio, recommending tracks based on artists a user had followed and tweeted about, it never got much traction among mainstream users, the report added.
