You’re someone that’s always on the go and a fan of the latest in mobile technology. You’re into the type of technology that not only keeps tabs on your friends’ whereabouts, but also lets you know where, when, and what music is being heard and watched right now. If this description fits you, then you should definitely get your hands on TuneWiki!

TuneWiki is a visually slick, multi-functional, and highly personalized portable social music box with integrated television and newscast. Get the picture?

Screen & Controls
Section rating:
TuneWiki is a visual easy-to-use application with simple and intuitive controls.
Slide-in menus give the application an iPhone feel, offering users an unexpected level of familiarity and comfort for an Android-based application.
Moreover, the footer navigation with its neat self-explanatory icons makes jumping between menus quick and painless.
Sometimes, however, the menu buttons lag and appear irresponsive giving the user the impression of having failed to press them correctly. In this respect, other applications respond much faster.
Favorable mention: The integrated video and audio player is easy-to-use and virtually flawless. Access to outside media sources, such as YouTube, is clear and well-designed.
The embedded advertisements are barely, if at all, distracting.
Speed & Stability
Section rating:
TuneWiki is a very comprehensive application that basically exhausts all the media functions the Android platform has to offer. It is important to keep in mind that TuneWiki itself is running on an Android platform that is still new and a bit rough around the edges.
Given all of this, it’s suprising to see TuneWiki run so smoothly
Obviously it’s not perfect; lags and stalls do come up from time to time, the menu navigation doesn’t always run smoothly, and the application crashed during a call.
All the shortcomings aside, the application is very useful and fun. I’m confident that with increased use of this application and the Android platform in general, most of these glitches will be taken care of.
Price/Performance Ratio
Section rating:
TuneWiki is free to download through Android Market.
It should be noted that downloading uses up a lot of data, which means a mobile data plan is a must.
Finally, many tracks are only available for purchase and there are integrated ads.

Useless! I don't need this app, but can't uninstall it. Very frustrating as it takes my time and phone memory. Let us decide what we want to have on the phone!!!! get rid of it!

Useless for me Why should I have this app on my phone? Cannot uninstall it and it uses my phone memory for nothing.

Cool idea. Works well The free version is cool. I'm using it on my Rezound with ICS 4.1.3. There's an option to calibrate how the lyrics display and update the lyrics on the site if you see they're wrong. Pretty sweet app, I'd recommend it if you like seeing the lyrics when you listen to your music.
Briana, Apr 22, 2012
Update On the new update you can't search song lyrics anymore. You have to play a song so the app will recognize it and THEN give you lyrics. It truly sucks now.
