soundwave is a community-first platform app built for people who have something say about what they listen to. While traditional music apps focus on streaming, soundwave creates a space where discovery, opinions, and connection come together. Users can review songs, curate playlists, and dive into meaningful discussions about the music they love. By blending the simplicity of reviews with the depth of a social network, soundwave offers a more personal, interactive way to explore music.
