iROKING Gets Redesigned, Launches Mobile-Specific Site

iROKO Partners’ music streaming and download service iROKING, has launched a mobile website specifically for its mobile audience and redesigned its desktop website.

The Mobile Site

The site can be reached at m.iroking.com. Users will also be redirected to the mobile site as soon as they enter iroking.com in their mobile browser.

iROKING’s mobile site does not support streaming however and only allows users download low or high quality of tracks for free. If you’ve already signed up to iROKING, all you have to do is login. New users have to signup via their email address or Facebook.

The website is built with mostly text so users can navigate and load pages quickly. You can also search for your favorite Nigerian songs by Genre or the search bar as well as view the top 10 songs, new releases and featured artists.

Redesigned Desktop Website

iROKING’s desktop design has switched themes and colours from a dark shade of blue to a lighter shade of blue.

The homepage hasn’t changed much – allowing you search for music or browse displayed artists. iROKING has gone social with playlists   – showcasing community curated playlists and displaying them on the homepage as well.

Another significant change is the movement of the play bar from the bottom to the top. There are also new features in the sidebar including a link to music videos and dedicated radio channels to hip-hop, jazz and other music genres.

iROKING was launched on January 1st this year and currently has over 100,000 users and 200 artists on its platform. Releasing its Android and iOS apps within the year.

Here are screenshots of iROKING’s mobile site and redesigned desktop site.

The new mobile site, its mobile apps and its freemium model put iROKING at a pedestal against Spinlet, iTunes and GbeduFM.
