Streaming & music

Music and video apps tuned for African catalogues and data prices — Afrobeats, Amapiano, Nollywood and global hits. Official downloads with data-saver tips.

Audio-quality settings make the biggest difference to your data bill: Boomplay, Spotify and YouTube Music all let you cap the streaming bitrate and download over Wi-Fi for offline listening. Catalogues differ by region, so an app that is “unavailable in your country” on the store can often still be installed as an APK — playback rights stay with the service.
