### 3/5 — Can’t sync music

*2026-07-31, version 4.6.1*

I like the app but the ability to use your own music is not available even though there’s an option to use the feature

### 3/5 — Helpful a bit boring

*2026-07-11, version 4.6.1*

It could be more fun

### 3/5 — The app is okay

*2026-02-28, version 4.6.1*

The app itself is really good and everything. It works and it’s educational for children but one thing that it could be improved on is the music that is playing in the background cuz some of the music isn’t that popular if u understand me but if we add music that is like popular in 2026 it will increase the rating. Thanks tho for the app 🙂

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-01-03, version 4.6.0*

I think the app is really good especially to get your kids to brush their teeth, but if you don’t have Apple Music you can’t use the app

### 3/5 — It won’t let me pick my own music

*2025-04-10, version 4.4.4*

The title is the review😅

### 4/5 — To brush do

*2024-06-20, version 4.4.2*

How do you choose your music

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-04-21, version 4.4.2*

I love the music choice! (Ren age 7!)

### 4/5 — Issues Playing Music

*2024-04-17, version 4.4.2*

I have issues playing my own music. I can only play the app’s music which I don’t want to do, or not why I downloaded it. Until this issue is resolved, I’m going to give it 2 Stars.

Update: I figured out how to get the music to work. I didn’t confirm the permissions to allow it to play. I wish there was another option or way to play music from a different app besides within the operating system in the phone. Until there’s more options added, I’ll now rate it to 4 stars.

### 3/5 — misuse or maybe needs uodated

*2024-04-12, version 4.4.2*

i wish there was a restart button- unless i’m missing it. 
sometimes if we want to change songs and it was already playing it counts that even if we weren’t actively brushing our teeth

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2024-02-26, version 4.4.2*

I’ve got a 12 year old boy who isn’t brushing his teeth for long enough. This app is perfect, I’m so glad I’ve discovered it.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2023-10-26, version 4.4.2*

I brushing my teeth

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2023-09-02, version 4.4.1*

I either spent too much time brushing or not enough, this app helps me keep my actual tooth brushing seshs to at least 2 minutes in a fun way rather than just using a timer.

### 1/5 — No

*2026-05-23, version 4.6.1*

No

### 1/5 — No Spotify option

*2025-11-09, version 4.6.0*

I downloaded hoping to play my daughter’s favourite songs from our Spotify playlists whilst she brushed. One of the pictures on the app’s page says “play playlist from Spotify” but it isn’t actually an option when you download. Since I don’t use Apple Music or have music on my phone, the app is fairly useless.

### 1/5 — ?!

*2025-06-06, version 4.4.4*

IT WONT LET ME PRESS PLAY ON IPAD????

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-03-07, version 4.4.2*

It can’t even play my favorite song

### 1/5 — My review

*2024-11-02, version 4.4.2*

It doesn’t play the songs you want it to.

### 1/5 — Im gutted Spotify has been removed !

*2023-09-01, version 4.4.1*

I loved using Spotify .
Now its been removed there no other way of adding my own music . I don’t want to subscribe to Apple Music it’s way more expensive . 
Its could also benefit from Apple Watch support too.
yes I know I can download my own music off line on Spotify but the point is I shouldn’t have too. Its more of a ball ache now . 
I know the app is free compared to some but that’s what made it great it stood out above the rest with these features .

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Spotify

*2023-04-23, version 4.4.0*

Whenever I try to load one of my playlists from the menu, the app keeps sliding the list up and the back button no longer functions, requiring me to completely exit the app to try again.

### 1/5 — No music

*2022-12-26, version 4.4.0*

The music option didn’t work which was the feature I downloaded the app for. DJ Brush synced to my Spotify but would only allow you to choose from random least player playlists. All moot  because you couldn’t actually choose any of them. You pick a playlist and nothing happens the only button that worked was the arrow to close the Spotify option. Same issue with the Apple Music option and downloaded from iPhone.

### 5/5 — I love brushing

*2026-07-19, version 4.6.1*

Brushing was BORING with out it and I will call it the best brushing app ever

### 5/5 — Rave

*2026-02-17, version 4.6.1*

Invited 8 friends over to jam to the music, banging free tunes/. 10/10

### 5/5 — Simple No Fuss

*2025-11-08*

No ads. No GPS. No having to give an email address or connect a device. Nothing but a toothbrushing timer. Lovely!

### 5/5 — Brush dj

*2025-09-30, version 4.6.0*

Brush dj is the best app I have ever used but sometimes the music stops working but that is fine

### 5/5 — That’s grated

*2025-02-10, version 4.4.2*

Wow

### 5/5 — Poor Music Compatibility

*2025-02-10, version 4.4.2*

Doesn’t work with Spotify music app

### 5/5 — Brush DJ

*2025-01-18, version 4.4.2*

Makes brushing teeth fun

### 5/5 — Ideal

*2024-12-27, version 4.4.2*

Simple and easy to use with my 4 year old. She loves picking the colours and is always excited to see which song it will be. Good to have an audio and visual idea of how long she should be brushing for.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2024-11-25, version 4.4.2*

So good my dentist says my teeth are better than ever!So helpful and fun .Definitely recommend and worth the wait

### 5/5 — Really great - just one request

*2024-10-11, version 4.4.2*

I know this is free and awesome, there are no ads and I’m really grateful for that. But I’d happily pay a couple of pounds for a version that will save your music selection. It seems to forget it or reset far too easily - I’ll line up my daughter’s favourite band and it ends up blasting out the maple leaf rag. Please please thank you :-) xx
