SiriusXM has revealed its new streaming app, launching in North America on December 14th. The company announces that a new ‘All Access’ plan will be available for $9.99 a month.
The new SiriusXM app begins rolling out across iOS, Android, and Amazon Fire devices next month. The app includes a variety of new features, which the company hopes enable users to customize and tailor their listening experience.
SiriusXM’s new app offers four curated selections for the landing page. For a customized experience, users can choose from ‘Music’, ‘Talk & Podcasts’, ‘Sports’ and ‘For You’. These add a personalized touch but can also help the app suggest new pieces of content, even if the skip limit has been reached. Alongside this, discovery tools include new pages dedicated to teams, shows, channels, and artists.
The new SiriusXM app features “revamped playback” settings. New audio segments allow users to jump to key moments within the content. Users can also find transcription and speed controls for podcasts and on-demand talk content. Sports content offers live listening updates. Plus, AirPlay and casting features are available.
