BOLD Music 3.0

Back in 2017, I released my first app to the App Store, BOLD Music. This was my first taste of the hobby that I would grow for years to come, and eventually, I would go to school for. Since that release in 2017, I updated it a few times for fun but have never looked at it since.  

A few months ago, as I was debating my next project, I thought of this little app that I made. It hadn't been updated since 2017 and it would crash when you tried to play a song on it, but it appealed to me. I've always been a fan of music so I thought, how can I remake this app but better and more unique in design to any other music app. So, that's what I did. It's been a long journey, but I am so excited to share BOLD Music 3.0 with you guys!
