Kickstarter and a Streaming Application

In April 2014 BackTrack launched a Kickstarter campaign raising funds for a streaming application. The campaign was successfully funded but the company iterated and did not develop the proposed streaming application. It is unclear as to whether or not the application will be released. The streaming application focused on combining social interactivity with music by using both a radio and on demand song selection in conjunction with new song sharing methods.
