After revealing the album's cover art and release date (Aug. 19) for lead single "Applause" earlier in the week, Gaga regaled fans on Twitter for about an hour. She unleashed a few details regarding her previously announced ARTPOP album app, which will be available for devices through iTunes and Google Play.

"The ARTPOP app is free, available in App Stores on your device. You can purchase the music through the ARTPOP app once it's downloaded," Gaga tweeted. "Or you can purchase the album at the music store+download the free app separately at the app store," with Gaga confirming that fans can socially interact through the application, which she called "in essence, an interactive jewel case." The app placeholder can be downloaded starting August 19.
