Music not playing
Seems fine at first but a waste of money because the app glitches and won’t play the music after announcements. Annoying to go through the trouble just for it to not work.

The music is not playing
Great app!
Great app. Elevates the experience for the players and crowd. The app does what it says beautifully and the support by the developer is superb. Helpful responses within minutes of texting. Personal and invested support. The developer took my suggestions and within days the app was even better. Well worth the one time fee. Sad the season has ended, yet future team parents will continue to use this app. Highest recommendation!

Needs work
Starting out this app seems like it would be such a great asset, but there are plenty of features that are absolutely flawed. The clone feature does not clone everything over. Each time you clone somebody you have to re-add the announcers spiel in the middle of the song. It doesn’t just follow over from where your previously had it.. 88% of the time when I play the batter walk up song the announcer doesn’t announce the name or the number like it’s supposed to, it will mute the song, but the announcer never says anything. As much as I think this app would do amazing things there are still some flaws that need to be fixed because so far me paying for this app was not worth it.

Response from developer
Kattt2611, Thank you for the criticism, it was well deserved. There were some major issues with player cloning in the old 5.4.8 version. I completely remapped the cloning feature in 5.4.9, new UI, more options when cloning a team, fixed an introduction bug that would totally cause the issue you described above. On top of that I found that our audio engine for intros wasn’t happy playing different types of audio formats. In version 5.4.9 we’re automatically converting all those audio files to the proper format for you. The laundry list was quite long. I understand the frustration, and I would be frustrated too. If it’s not working in 5.4.9, please reach out, you own the app forever and I am very sorry this has happened to you/others. Even if things are working better now please reach out; as reviews like this tend to keep me up at night kicking myself. Hope to hear from you soon or see the updated review reply. Cheers.
Love!
I’m new to being the walk up song mom and originally started with another app (won’t name names but I think we all might know) and quickly got frustrated with lagging etc. I heard about this app through another mom and it’s been SO easy to maneuver and best of all, NO LAGGING! Customer support responds very quickly if you have any issues and are super informative! 10/10

Play back
I absolutely loved this app. Once I figured out how I use it everything worked great, until it didn’t. When connected to Bluetooth it won’t play the walk up names and will only play the song. I really hope this gets fixed.
Excellent Service
Everything is easy to set up and works great. I needed support on a Sunday night and they helped me out.
Great Fun
This app is a total blast for our team! The kids absolutely love hearing their names called out (the AI voices work surprisingly well) and getting to hear their chosen walk-up songs. It’s been a huge hit.
The developer has also been incredibly responsive, even helping us troubleshoot some audio issues to ensure everything runs smoothly. Highly recommended!

Best App for Batting Intros!
This is by far the simplest and best batting into walk-up music app. The announcers are also very good. User friendly - easy to use. Highly recommend this app over the others with more reviews.
This one is a winner!
I rolled the dice on this app after experiencing endless frustration with some of the other popular walk-up music apps for iOS. I gotta say, Next Batter Up is already a massive upgrade over the horribly outdated UIs and atrocious customer experience of the more established apps. The developer seems to be really engaged with his customers and the frequent cadence of updates gives me confidence that he’s committed to ongoing bug fixes and feature enhancements. I’ve encountered some bugs that I’ll be passing along, but I look forward to making Next Batter Up a core part of our team’s gameday experience.

Lag
I really don’t like it. I’ve been using ballpark Dj this entire time but I seen it on a Facebook post so I decided to download this to try to do my other daughter’s team and I really don’t like it. It’s not even playing the whole song probably even after I downloaded it.
No help from support team
I have reached out using the iMessage and facebook messenger about the app’s ability to pronounce a player’s name correctly. It’s been over 48 hours without even a single word. At least say “we are experiencing higher than normal volumes and will return to you as soon as possible”. I am requesting you refund my money.

Great app and great customer service!
This app gives a lot of flexibility for what you can do with walk up songs! I had a song that wouldn’t work from iTunes and customer service was very responsive and helpful to resolve the issue! Definitely recommend or your next baseball tourney!!
Great app!
Downloaded yesterday to set up some walk up songs and so impressed on how easy it is to set up! Love the option of the AI voice generator so I don’t have to use mine. Highly recommend!
Needs more collaboration
I wish I could have known that this app would be useless before downloading it only allows you to use apple music no other streaming service well I use Spotify not apple music so the app is completely useless to me
Crashing
The app keeps crashing every time I try to add a new player. It deletes everything and I have to add the player 2-3 times before it actually saves.
A life changer!
I’m a grown human and I actually giggled with delight putting together my teams playlist and each song clip! It was pretty easy. Gone are my days of cumbersome Apple Music playlists and searching for the exact moment in the song that the kids want to walk up to the plate with, I miss every batter and the bash running queuing up the next song. So annoying. This app is genius! I cannot believe I didn’t find this sooner after years of fat fingering the wrong song or moment. Whoever made this must really like for kids to have a good experience and they had mercy on the coaches. Thanks!

Excellent App!
App is easy to use during set up and in game. Support is also very responsive in helping out
Low volume
Playlist on app does not play as loudly now since update. It is very low compared to the announcements
Good choice
Support has been very helpful when needed and once you get the layout and how things work down, it’s pretty easy to set up. Integrates well with Apple Music just create a separate playlist and ensure to add the song to the playlist and you are good to go. My only complaint would be that it should be optional to include the jersey number when player creation.
