While it works in a similar way to a social network, one of its biggest differences is that there are no follower counts, no like counts, and no visible popularity metrics. It is designed to help you focus on talking about the music you love, rather than worrying about how much attention your posts receive.\n\n[ CHOONING MAY BE FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO ] \n• Record the feelings and memories behind a song that can’t be captured by a listening history on Spotify or Apple Music.\n• Keep a personal archive of your own musical memories, rather than leaving an objective rating or review.\n• Talk about the things you love in a space that isn’t driven by attention, popularity, or recommendation algorithms.\n\n[ FEATURES ]\n• Record and collect your musical memories\nSearch for a song and save the stories, emotions, live show memories, or festival experiences connected to it. Build a profile page that works like a portfolio of the music that has accompanied your life.\n\n• Discover other people’s stories about music\nThrough search and hashtags, you can read what others have written about the music they love. Even without direct social connections, you may find comfort in knowing that someone else out there loves the same music you do.\n\n• Keep up with music that interests you\nWatch artists and users that interest you to discover new music and stay connected to the information you care about.\n\n• Spotify integration\nSave songs you discover on your timeline directly to Spotify with a single tap, or turn collections of posts into Spotify playlists. Support for additional streaming services is planned in future updates.\n\n[ A NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER ]\nThe rise of the internet, social media, and smartphones has given everyone the freedom to share their thoughts with the world. At the same time, however, we have become increasingly aware of how to attract the attention of others. On platforms built around advertising models and constant engagement, it has become surprisingly difficult to simply talk about the things we genuinely love.\n\nStreaming services have also made an enormous amount of music available at a very low cost. This is undoubtedly a wonderful change. Yet as music becomes easier to access, it is also consumed at an ever faster pace. Opportunities to pause, sit with a single song, and reflect on what it means to us are gradually becoming rarer.\n\nI do not wish to reject technological progress. Rather, I believe that modern communication and the way we experience music may need a different kind of balance. With a love for both the internet and music, I created Chooning with that belief in mind.\n\nThe name Chooning comes from the idea of \"re-tuning\" the relationship between people and music. Stepping away from the noise of constant attention and endless streams of content, I hope this can be a place where you pause for a moment, spend time with the music that matters to you, and rediscover a more personal connection with it.\n\n@ezeroms (Yuh IWAMOTO)","facts":{"developer_id":1523140157,"developer_url":null,"first_released":"2020-09-15T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://hello.chooning.app/","privacy_url":"https://chooning.app/privacy-policy","website_url":null,"app_version":"4.1.1","release_notes":"Fixed minor bugs to keep your experience smooth.","rating_current_version":null,"rating_count_current_version":0,"star_counts":[0,0,0,0,0],"genres":["Music","Social Networking"],"languages":["EN"],"content_advisories":["Unrestricted Web Access"],"device_families":["iphone","ipad","ipod"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-12T12:07:12.785Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-08T22:38:12.835Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-08T21:22:12.952Z","placed_at":"2026-11-08T21:09:13.214Z","scored_at":"2026-11-14T17:42:12.826Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"A music notebook app for recording memories and thoughts about songs and live shows, shared with other users without.","what_is":"Chooning lets you write posts about music, including feelings, memories, live show experiences and festival stories linked to specific songs.
