## What is OnDeckDJ?

Baseball walk-up songs, softball lineups, and AI announcer voices in one app. A one-time purchase — no subscription, ever. Now with Team Link so the whole team can follow along, plus an Apple Watch companion to run game day from your wrist.

Your kid's name booming through the speakers. Their favorite song playing. The crowd going wild. That's what OnDeckDJ does and it takes 5 minutes to set up. Just add your players, pick their walk-up songs from Apple Music, your music library, or your own MP3s, and tap Play. The AI announcer calls them to the plate by name and number while their song plays in the background, just like the pros on TV. Parents love it. Kids go crazy for it. Coaches look like heroes.

--- HOW IT WORKS ---
Create your team and add players
Pick a walk-up song for each player (Apple Music, your library, or MP3s)
Tap Generate — the AI creates a custom stadium announcement
Hit Play on game day. That's it.

--- GAME DAY MODE ---
Big buttons. No fumbling. Tap the next batter, their announcement plays, their song kicks in. Sound effects for home runs, strikeouts, and rally moments. Keep the ballpark alive between innings with your own background music. Works great on a Bluetooth speaker.

--- TEAM LINK ---
Share your lineup with the whole team. Parents follow the batting order live from their own phone, so they always know when their kid is up — and they can suggest their child's walk-up song for you to approve. Free for parents. No account, no purchase on their end.

--- COACH HANDS-FREE ---
Run the dugout from your wrist. The Apple Watch companion mirrors Game Mode - current batter, on-deck preview, play / stop / next, plus the full sound-effects soundboard. AirPods and Bluetooth speaker remote controls drive playback in the background, so you stay in the game without unlocking your phone.

--- 10 AI ANNOUNCER VOICES ---
From deep stadium baritone to energetic hype man. Ten distinct announcer characters — pick the voice that fits your team's vibe, set a different one per player, or record your own.

--- SHARE YOUR LINEUP ---
Text your lineup file to the team parent running the speakers. They import it in one tap - every player, every song, every announcement ready to go.

--- FREE TO START ---
One team, 12 players, and 15 AI voice credits - completely free. No subscription. No account. No catch. Pro is a one-time purchase for unlimited teams - buy it once, own it forever.

--- PERFECT FOR ---
• Youth baseball & softball

### 1/5 — announcer voices are so bad

*2026-06-05*

They would be great to fall asleep to but there are apps with actual announcer voices that are much better.

**Developer response:** The latest update adds 10 new announcer voices — from a full-hype closer to a deep, steady veteran — and you can set a different one for each player. Way more energy and range to choose from. Update and give it a listen; there's one in there you'll like.

### 5/5 — Best song intro app out there

*2026-05-06*

Super easy to set up and makes every at bat feel like a stadium experience with the AI announcer and walkup songs. The one tap game mode is a game changer. No fumbling. Just smooth and fun for both kids and parents.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! That's exactly what we wanted Game Mode to feel like. Really glad the announcer and walkup songs are landing for both the kids and the parents.

### 5/5 — Everything I was looking for

*2026-04-15*

Very easy music setup with Apple Music. Can even use saved files. Best part is the situational music that other apps don’t offer. I use for pitcher warmups. Great app! Highly recommend.

**Developer response:** Thanks Stevo! Love hearing how you are using the situational clips, warmup music is a perfect use case. If there's anything you'd want added, shoot us a note. Go get 'em this season.

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2026-04-08*

Very easy to set up!

**Developer response:** Thank you Coach! That means a lot. If you have any feature requests or feedback, we'd love to hear it. Enjoy the season! ⚾
