Beats Music, the latest entrant in the music streaming space, added an iPad version of its app in an update that rolled out to users Thursday.

The update comes just one day after the company teased a new iPad app on Twitter.

The iPad version has all the same features as its iPhone counterpart, including the app's curated "Just For You" section and "The Sentence," which automatically creates playlists based on your mood.

Though the iPad version isn't bringing any new features, it certainly enhances the app's appeal. "The iPad is the gateway to streaming music inside the home," the company said in a blog post. "But it’s not a mobile-only app, as our integration with Sonos, and now the iPad app, shows."

Beats Music's 'The Sentence' feature automatically creates playlists based on a user's mood.

Beats Music is the most-downloaded music streaming app, according to recent numbers from Billboard.

The subscription-based app has been pursuing users since its launch in January, while competing with companies like Spotify that offer some form of free music streaming.

The company offers an extended free trial period via its partnership with AT&T, which allows customers to test out the app for free for 30 days (for single users) or 90 days (for those on a family plan).

Other users can try the app for free for seven days, but will pay $9.99 per month for the service once the free trial ends.

Beats Music is available in the App Store. Android and Windows Phone versions are also available, though those apps don't yet have tablet editions.
