Create playlists based on your mood rather than artist or album
Habu arranges your music by mood so you can create an appropriate playlist with a single tap
Habo is a helpful way to generate up to 100 playlists by categorising music by mood. These moods are arranged by Positive/Dark and Calm/Energetic in a big circle. Tap on a circle to select a mood and display the playlist.

Installation is simple and it was very quick to analyse the music on our test iPad. The progress is shown by the number of tracks so it's easy to see how many are left to go.
The interface is very easy to use. Tap on a circle to see the description of the mood and the suggested tracks will appear on the right. The number of tracks that fit a particular mood is denoted by how much of the circle is green dot. A small dot means only a handfull of tracks whereas a full green circles represents a very common theme.
Once a playlist has started playing you can switch to a different app and control playback using the controls that appear when the Home key is pressed twice quickly.
An added advantage of the Habu is that it is not limited to the music found on a device. The Discover mode will display results from the iTunes store. A sample of the track can be played and the icon with two circles used to buy the track on iTunes.
An Android version of Habu can be downloaded from the Google Play store here.
