Great App, if only it worked

This app is a great idea, but it doesn’t work…at all. Won’t play from the playlist to keep music going, won’t even play requested songs.

Great when it works

Unfortunately it doesn’t. Can’t get it to start playing music. Too bad, it’s a great idea.

Want to use but no autoplay makes it difficult

Has great potential if it would actually autoplay from the preload playlist you select when no requests are playing. Without that feature you have to spend an hour preloading requests to keep the music on, then your guests requests don’t come to the top of the queue. Usually it’s a good idea to make sure your few core features work fully before you ship an app!

Fun app

Great app. Worked great at our party. Gave 3 stars because the auto play of silent feature does not work. If that gets fixed it’s a 5 star app.

Great start but needs a few more things

It is a great start to this app, used it multiple times for a few BBQ’s at my house. Needed to preload the party queue myself with songs the days before in order to have constant music playing. The preload a playlist idea when no music is playing has not worked.

Would also like to see a Apple car play option as this would be a great idea for road trips with friends. Would need to keep the driver in mind as he would not be able to select songs from his phone to play. So maybe have a song rotate in from his set playlist every rotation between everything else being played by others?
