Good app for walkout songs!
Works great for our baseball teams. Only negative is that I can’t figure out how to fade the songs in and can’t find instruction anywhere.
Bluetooth playback is buggy
**UPDATE3** Brought the rating back down to 1 star since the latest updates seem to have broken it again. The developer keeps blaming the Bluetooth speakers but I’ve tried plenty of high quality speakers ($400+) and they all have the same issue. The first player will play fine but subsequent player walk up songs will not output any sound. Other apps handle this fine so it’s not a speaker or Bluetooth issue but instead an issue with this app. As it stands, I have to force close the app after playing one walk up song in order to then open the app back up and play the next song. Extremely frustrating. **UPDATE2** Updated my review to five stars after developer responded to the issues raised in my review and fixed the Bluetooth bug. This is now officially the best baseball DJ app in the App Store (and I have them all). I commend the developer for his responsiveness and willingness to accept constructive criticism and make his app better. **END UPDATE2** *UPDATE* While I appreciate the developers detailed response to my review and understand the limitations with the Bluetooth protocol, there are two other competing apps that don’t have this same issue. I tried them and they work just fine so they must be doing something to get around the Bluetooth limitations the developer mentioned. While this app is the best of the three apps I’ve tried in terms of UI and features, the fact that it can consistently play over Bluetooth with speakers that the other two competing apps have no problems with means that this app is unusable for me. I recommend that the developer research what the competition is doing and implement a fix. *END UPDATE* Regular playback works fine. However, Bluetooth playback is very buggy and will not play back the names and only unmute halfway through the song. Other times it will not play back half a second of intro. All the other baseball DJ apps work fine so it’s definitely an issue with this app.
Didn't work
I bought this app and it wouldn't even let me put the songs on the player. Because I didn't have Apple Music.
Don’t sleep on this amazing walk up app!
Can I just say this app is amazing?! Not only is it user friendly, but the customer service is seriously outstanding! I had a small issue with blending the announcement with music & was absolutely blown away by the way my situation was handled & how I was helped though the process. Our team has been so hype this season using this walk-up app & thanks to the incredible team at batter- up, it’s been a dream to navigate. If you are debating what app to get for your team, get this one! If you already have an app, delete it & get this one! You won’t be sorry!
Great app, easy to use, quick support
We began using this app after a tough tournament for our 10u softball team. It immediately boosted morale and turned our season around. The kids and parents all love it and other teams’ coaches have asked us about it. This app helps bring some additional FUN to the game for the kids. The app is easy to use if you have basic tech knowledge. The support provided is fantastic. I actually inadvertently found a big and the support team for the app credited my Apple wallet account for helping them improve the app. They also had the bug fixed within an hour or two after I used their text support line - fantastic! Highly recommend!
Waste of Money
Not worth the hassle. App is filled with the bugs! There are a lot better options out there! Complete garbage!
