BJÖRK’S BIOPHILIA APP NOW AVAILABLE ON ANDROID


 

Björk has made her groundbreaking multimedia album, Biophilia available on Android for the first time. The app, of which Wired said ‘nothing has come close to the way Biophilia re-imagined the album as something functional’, and which was quoted by The Guardian as ‘restoring some of the intimacy you can have with music’, can be downloaded on Android devices: http://smarturl.it/biophilia4android

Björk has used new technology from the San Francisco based start-up Apportable which enables native iPhone and iPad apps, such as Biophilia, to run on Android much faster and cheaper than was previously possible. Björk’s vision of the Biophilia app has always been for it to be available as widely as possible, and Android is an important factor for this; being the biggest and most widely available platform - particularly in developing countries, under-funded projects and low-income households.

“We are honored that Björk has chosen Apportable’s technology to power Biophilia’s much-anticipated arrival on Android,” said Collin Jackson, Apportable’s CEO.  “Just as it broke new ground for interactive music apps with its original iOS release, Biophilia is breaking the boundaries of cross-platform mobile development as the first-ever Objective-C music app on Android.”
