Armed with a $200,000 development budget, local iPhone app developer Scoreless Music is preparing to bring its innovative musical app, Chordica, to the next level. According to company founder and developer Joash Chee, the money is the result of investor interest, as well as support from government bodies and private companies.
Joash promises that the new and improved app, to be renamed Chordica Pro, will be a huge leap forward over the current version. Chordica Pro is slated to be released at the end of the year. For intellectual property reasons, Joash is coy about revealing too much about the new features at this time though. "Let's just say that it is, at minimum, a threefold increase in function and user experience," he says. His lawyers believe that they might be able to get up to three patents out of the new app.
Joash is extremely bullish about the potential of Chordica Pro. "When everything rolls out as planned, it will open up a revenue stream that even Apple has not capitalized on yet. There's increased potential for viral growth and we are talking possible half a million USD in sales of the app alone within a year of its release."
Apart from working on Chordica, Joash is also busy retooling his other apps. His three free apps, Keyfinder, ChordChanger and Chordica Lite, will be bundled into a single suite called the Scoreless Music Suite. The suite will be a paid app, though if people want to, they can still get all three as separate apps for free.
According to Joash, the aim is to free up Springboard space and to provide a logical consolidation that users have been asking for. The Scoreless Music Suite is expected to be in the App Store by the middle of the month.
