iPhone's mobile music magazine gets optimised for iPad.
Last week, we reported iOS app developer 955 Dreams had secured $3.25 million in funding to support international expansion and a rollout onto additional platforms.
Band of the Day was released on iPhone and iPod Touch in October 2011 and now the app has been created for the iPad.
Mobile music magazine BOTD features thorough coverage of one band each day, just as the name would suggest. It features reviews, biographies and songs that are playable via streaming from the app.
The navigation has been designed to allow a page flipping option, rather than a scrolling function. Additionally, BOTD it was a runner up for the iPhone App of The Year in 2011, despite only being on the market for three months.
Kiran Bellubbi, founder and CEO, 955 Dreams, says: "Our publishing platform has consistently produced high quality products that resonate with users all over the world, allowing us to achieve four App of the Week features in one year.

"There is an absolute and unrelenting focus on maintaining a high level of quality throughout the product and ensuring that the experience for the user is not compromised in any way."
T.J. Zark, co-founder, says: "We were relentless in our design iterations for this publishing platform. We refined every speck of the experience, the UI, the backend, and the overall look of this product.
"Just like the calendar that Band of the Day is built around, the way band photos reveal as you run your finger over the calendar...this is the result of a thousand tiny iterative decisions. We try very hard to take nothing for granted about the end experience."
BOTD has currently received more than 500,000 users across iPhone and iPod Touch and 955 Dreams anticipates the iPad release will bring in several million by 2013.
