Audio-streaming and hosting service SoundCloud has launched a brand new standalone app aimed specifically at creators.

With SoundCloud Pulse for Android, DJs, podcasters, and other online broadcasters can access a dedicated portal to manage their account and community, letting them respond to comments, view stats such as how many times a track has been played in a month or week, and follow other SoundCloud users.

With more than $120 million in funding and 175 million unique monthly listeners, SoundCloud has built a sizable audience since its launch out of Sweden in 2007. But unlike other streaming services such as Spotify, SoundCloud places a heavier emphasis on indie creators than on major studios, so this app should service its creator community well.

SoundCloud Pulse is similar to Google’s YouTube Creator Studio, which offers YouTubers a dedicated app to manage their account and community.
