Shine On You Crazy iPhone: Pink Floyd Releases Their Own iOS App

[image error]

Making an album of new songs seems to be too much like hard work for bands these days. It's so much easier to pay some developers to make an app instead.

Rock legends Pink Floyd are the latest to jump on the appwagon, with This Day in Pink Floyd, a retrospective of sorts. There's no music involved, unless you count a "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" ringtone.

What you will find inside this app is a double-concept-album's worth of trivia, anecdotes, factoids and quiz questions.

There are also song notes for every track on every album – something that might be nice to flick through while you're listening, perhaps. But do you really need to know the setlist for an obscure gig they played back in the 70s? One for the fans.

Here's a promo vid:
