this is almost the greatest app in the universe and so well implemented! it just doesn't quite work... when connected to a wifi network on the internet the display QR code button doesn't work. But when the wifi isn't connected to internet it does? but then the guests cant use the browser UI as it cant reach the address... am I doing something wrong? really need the browser UI for all the Apple users
Great app use it all the time. Only problem we bought new 5g phones having a hard time hooking up. App needs to be updated for it!!!
Hate it had way too many bugs and glitch that needs to be fix
Live this app
It's Good but needs a Volume Control built into the app as the volume is not loud enough on some songs.
Good app that seems to work well. Would up to four stars if you could configure the app only to play random music from a certain folder and 5 stars if the app would not to search the whole phone for audio only where you tell it to look.
What a great simple idea but done with class. Has stopped my kids squabbling over the stereo.
Great app, no hiccups, free, you can lock your device and don't need to "allow" other devices to add to the queue. Could have more options, but too many options leads to a larger learning curve. Great as is.
Stops the arguing and easy to get the song you hate out the way!
It would be really good if I could access the music on my NAS drive to choose from.
OMG this app is going to be so perfect. Is there anyway to make the next song play automatically if there are no queued songs?
Pretty good so far I need to fiddle a little more.
Would be perfect if it display cover photo and could search by artist
Works great with our s3 and s4 upgraded to lg q70 will not work on more than 1phone at a time
Loving the user ability. And simple layout easy to use really recommend.
When will you make the next song play quicker
Works flawlessly, Multiple Play Options, Fan Base
This will be great with a windows server app added.
How can we restrict the guests to one playlist of the host? All the music files get mixed up
Works so well! User friendly app. I would love it even more if it would get windows PC which is on the same WiFi involved! Then I wouldn't have to Max out my tablet with tunes and could rely on the huge storage space on my PC. Great app though!
NO Brainer, If you host parties and are sick of people arguing over who's music is better, this is the solution..
Really good app easy to use and useful for groups or even on your own if you want a bespoke playlists.
Good app to let everyone at the party choose the music and so you don't have to come up with giant playlists yourself!
Easy to set up. Great fun picking tunes from your catalogue to play to others. Makes having a party, more about having a party that what is playing on the juke. Awesome app dude!
Works really well and saves all the arguments over the music
I was looking for an app that people could tap into my music and choose songs just like the jukebox at a bar but you don't have to use your main source you can use your own phone and this is it. This works perfect I hooked up my phone which has all the music and tapped into it with my tablet I can see all my music on my phone choose songs hit like or unlike and you could also see the different users that are tapped in to your Wi-Fi really cool app.
