New York, New York – Appothecary, creator of popular iPhone app Classics, predecessor to iBooks, today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of Stereo (v0.1), its new graphical iPod for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Stereo features an experience reminiscent of a vinyl record collection, while maintaining utmost importance on functionality. It’s designed to enable much greater felt freedom in choosing music. Users can browse music nonlinearly to find what they want instantly and effortlessly.

“So many times I would want to listen to music, but found it a chore to scroll through Apple’s app,” explained Andrew Kazmierski, founder of Appothecary. “Stereo is a little like a reinvention of the jukebox, or the digital equivalent of thumbing through a vinyl record collection. Music choices become a fun thing. Stereo was made for love of the practical in service of the intuitive.”

Developer Andrew Kazmierski worked with Phill Ryu to create iPhone pioneer “Classics” in 2008. Classics topped the charts at #4, accrued over 1.5 million downloads, was featured in Apple’s TV ads, and led to Apple’s creation of “iBooks” with its realistic visual bookcase & tactile page turns. Stereo represents Kazmierski’s return to software, inspired by rare extremes of the mind and passion for innovation, on top of past success.
