What does Chorus do ?


Chorus is a free application that allows your phone to share the music playing on it with other phones in such a way that all the phones play the same music in sync using Wi-Fi portable hotspot!

This app turns your android devices into pocket music stereo systems!

No need of music docks , pods and all the other miscellaneous gadgets that are not only expensive but also annoying to setup and play!

Enjoy your music and the company of your friends with this app !

It is a free alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Group Play for non Samsung devices!​




Does exactly what the OP suggests :) Does it work on every Non-Samsung Device?​

Great app.. Great functionality.. and best part about it is.. its free ! :D
There seems to be problem with a few HTC Devices like the SV (On the stock ROM) with the wifi tether causing the music to sync like a hit and miss.. cant figure out why..

Alternatives like bluetooth / wifi direct / wlan / nfc maybe great and provide nice alternatives to the wifi tether.
Also functionality like being able to save the share the music on the shared devices may also help the app do better.

All in all an amazing start! All the best! :good: :cowboy:

i found some bugs when i try to use this app :
1. the music on the speaker (joined phone) restart after 2 seconds, and then continued to play
2. pressing the sync button will restart the music, not sync it
3. i can't connect to host when i use wifi tethering, it's working when i connect to my home wifi
4. pressing the stop button when playing music on the joined phone causing the app to force close

btw i'm using lenovo s820 running miui v5 as host, lenovo s5000 running stock rom and galaxy wonder running cm11 as speakers

and congratulation to be featured on portal :good:

Looks pretty great! But how does it work exactly, from a developer perspective? Doesn't Wifi have a certain amount of latency that makes it hard to actually start the song on all devices at the same time?

connected devices should be on the same wifi network. i guess no internet connection is required as long as wifi is activated...

Thanks @rahuliyer95 for this. Just have a question : what music are we able to sync exactly ? Jus local files or audio stream too ?

Only files on the host's device can be played. No audio steam as of now.

With me it's the opposite. I can connect using the wifi tethering on Moto X, but don't work if i use my home wifi.

    Thanks for your app,

    Just few suggestion:
    -stream all the audio from a device not only a playlist
    -audetect host
    -autosync, the sync button does not need to exist in this app!
    -simplify the UI, you use a lot of libraries and graphic effects but i think that using all the stock android menus can help to make the app lighter and faster!
