SongPop
SongPop is an imminently approachable music quiz game where friends challenge each other to "name that tune." With over 35 unique playlists spanning the complete genre-spectrum, there's something for everyone to enjoy. It's one of the first games to truly embrace cross-platform integration between mobile and social, allowing players to start a game on a phone and then pick it up later on Facebook or a tablet. SongPop is developed by Manhattan-based social games startup FreshPlanet.

Among my responsabilites were:
- Design and development of the "sharing" features: iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, etc.
- Create a iOS/Android Native Extension for Adobe AIR to find the "closest" music video on YouTube.
- ActionScript API for accessing BandsInTown to determine if an artist has a tour near the player, and present the option for that.

The team was extremely happy about the work done. SongPop grew up to become one of the runaway hits in the mobile space for 2012 and it is still growing. The development team won many accolades, including a BAFTA award.
