If the Spotlite app has its way then singing competitions won't just be confined to television anymore. The app is a social network of sorts for singers, with the unique part being that users can enter into competitions to win cash. The Spotlite app promises prizes of up to $2,000 which isn't bad for uploading a song to an app.
The Spotlite app allows users to share original songs or upload covers. There's also a karaoke function. Singers can follow one another, and if they really like what they hear then in-app coins can be gifted as a reward. In addition to catering to singers the Spotlite app also offers tools that help make the voices of those less gifted sound great. The app is out now for both iOS and Android.
