bop.fm Music Player is a free iPhone app to stream songs from YouTube and SoundCloud. The app lets you stream any video song which is available on YouTube, SoundCloud or both. The app lets you find the songs, you want to play, via a lot of ways. You can either go for manual search or simply look for them in categories Popular and Trending. The app even recommends songs to you on the basis of your listening history.
You can make playlists, follow and listen playlists made by others, follow other users, share your playlist, share songs. As I said the app also lets you do manual search, so you can make the search on the basis of song, artist, or album name.
Note: The app also has feature for connecting Spotify Premium account to listen songs from Spotify.
