Ukrainian developers offer rival player to Apple’s iTunes

By Bozhena Sheremeta / July 9, 2015

For most users of Apple gadgets, iTunes, the pre-installed Apple media player, is the obvious go-to application for listening to music. More discerning music lovers who want high-quality playback in all types of audio formats, might find the Ukrainian-developed VOX app a better solution.

The audio player had been downloaded 1 million times worldwide, and boasts more than 200,000 active monthly users. It’s been around for eight years now, but the key to its present success is the extensive development and upgrades done by Coppertino, a Ukrainian company with a research and development office in Kyiv and headquarters in California.
