App-o-Day, the app deals and discovery tool from Iddiction, Inc., announces today Tiësto’s groundbreaking app as “Music App of the Year.” To celebrate they will give it away for free on June 9. App-o-Day’s mission since launch has been to bring users the best, hottest apps out there, straight to their iPhone or iPod for free. That’s why they’ve partnered up with Tiësto – who was recently voted “The Greatest DJ of All Time” by Mixmag – to give App-o-Day users the top state-of-the-art music app for free.

With countless achievements including a Grammy Award nomination, several MTV awards, and a performance at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Tiësto, a.k.a. Tijs Verwest, is one of the most recognizable electronic artists worldwide. He has developed an incredible following over his career and compiled more than 12 million Facebook fans, 1 million followers on Twitter and over 300 million hits on YouTube.

“We’re proud to bring our users one of the best music apps out there from one of the best DJ’s of all time. Whether you’re a diehard Tiësto fan or just getting into the electronic genre, we know you’ll love this app – and will love it even more now that it’s free to download through App-o-Day,” said Andrej Nabergoj, founder and CEO of Iddiction Inc.

Developed by Penté Group alongside Tiësto, the Tiësto App allows users to stream Tiësto’s music as well as his weekly Club Life podcast using a custom Tiësto music player. The app also allows users to connect with fans worldwide, access concert footage, photos and tickets, and unlock full VIP access to Tiësto’s InTheBooth.com website.
