Amazing but a big flaw
I love this app and it’s great, but sometimes, the song just won’t play, or it just plays a different song, if that problem can be fixed, this might be the best app for Djs ever
NFG Don’t waste your $$$
I would strongly caution anyone considering purchasing Sports Audio DJ
I use arena audio software to run music and sound effects during hockey games, where reliability is absolutely critical. Unfortunately, this app has now glitched and crashed twice during live events, including the most recent incident just before a championship final game where I was responsible for the game presentation music. That is not a minor inconvenience — it’s a complete failure of a tool that is supposed to perform in high-pressure, live environments.
When software designed for live sports presentation crashes at the worst possible moment, it undermines the entire event experience and leaves the operator scrambling.
What makes this even more frustrating is that my attempts to contact the company about these issues have gone unanswered. I have reached out looking for support or even acknowledgment of the problem, and so far those efforts have fallen on deaf ears. For a paid piece of software used in live production, that level of customer support is unacceptable.
To be clear, the concept behind the app is good and when it works it can be useful. But reliability and support are everything in live event production, and right now this product fails in both categories.
If you are considering this app, be aware that crashes can happen without warning, and you may find yourself on your own if something goes wrong.
Until these issues are addressed and the company demonstrates responsive customer support, I cannot recommend this product.

Good but too quiet
Compared to other third-party apps it’s a couple volume notches lower even with all of the settings turned up. Have pro version.
Audio DJ
This is exactly the app I am looking for. However, I bought the pro version so I would be able to start the song from where I choose. And when I choose to start a song (30 seconds into it, for example) It will play the first split second of the song before jumping to the designated start time. Pretty annoying and trying to see if there’s a way around this. I updated my iPads newest IOS thinking that may help but I’m still having the same problem. Wondering if there’s a way I can fix this bug. It could just be my old iPad too.

App is great
Like it and it’s great paired with Goal Horn Hub (both recommend) and I would add a feature where you can cut parts of a song out and then it would skip right to it
High school baseball
I’ve used this program for a couple of years now easy to use with pro can pick start point of song and stop point. Great program.
Amazing
This app has been perfect for playing music at hockey games. I’ve used it for years and love it.
Very pleased!!
We bought the pro version of this app to use while DJing, my daughter‘s youth hockey games. Well, initially, there were some bugs especially while trying to use Apple Music rather than songs already downloaded and some things to figure out like an annoying beeping sound at the start of each song while using a Bluetooth receiver (turning off Apple Music setting for crossfade resolved the issue for a while, but it has now returned). The app is pretty good for the money and I appreciate a one time charge rather than an ongoing subscription and feel like I’m getting my moneys worth. I would like to give a big thank you to the developer for the great app and the ongoing support! I would highly recommend this app! Honestly I think Apple should include this app on the new iPhones as they have made a bunch of money off all the songs I have purchased from ITunes.

Great app
Have been using this app for some time now for playing music at hockey games. Simple to use and works great. When I found an issue, the developer was very responsive and blazingly quick with a fix.
Good not perfect
I’ve been using this for years, works great. The audio playback isn’t as good as straight Apple Music but it has all the tools required to run music at my kids hockey games
Way to Many Glitches
Just testing it for 10min and it freezes up, does not play music, and gives “controller” error codes. Would never trust bringing this to the rink for Gametime.
Great App
Great app! So easy to use, been using it for 2 seasons now. Just wish you can move the titles once you uploaded to your playlist. I like to have penalty songs every few songs but I forgot to add and wanted to move the song tile up in the playlist but can’t.
Unstoppable fade out
App randomly fades out songs immediately after starting one. Cannot stop it from happening. Obviously a problem. Sent email to developer with no response.
Excellent for Hockey
The reviews on apps always surprise me - of course the free version isn’t the best, news flash! Paid apps are just like a service and you need to pay! Nothing in life is free!! 🙄 The pay version is one time charge and very cheap for what you get - this app is easy to use, and works seamless with Apple Music. Works well during games, just make sure you have good cell or wifi…some arenas have bad reception and then you will need to save your audio files to your device. Great music really does change the vibe. 100% recommendation this paid version app!

Awesome
I PA announce all over the perfect for quick in-game tunes, easy to set up, highly recommend
Great App!
I love this app. One cool add would be to either build in a locked music tile that I could save for a fog horn, so it was always at the top left / right (maybe even a unique color too).
OR .. just add a “goal” button that could do a fog horn over the music I play.

Response from developer
Thanks for kind words and would love it if you can send us the instructions for the Apple Music beeping.
Not Free
It says it’s free but you can only have 30 songs free and then it’s $13
Mostly great!
I bought the pro version. I use it for my kids hockey games. Overall this is the best audio app I’ve found. Great value for money
What I love: Multiple boards help organization
Colour coded buttons (I have mine set so effects are one colour, music another, organ tracks, goal horns etc…)
Track which cues have been played
Adjust start stop times within tracks
Set fade times
Overall - reliability is very good Support has been very responsive to issues
Don’t like:
A few glitches here and there.
Having trouble getting 2 tracks to play at different volumes Sometimes have trouble setting rules/options that deviate from default settings Ie- levels mentioned, fade or stop options

Unreliable
Very unreliable. I paid to have the pro version and it glitches, sometimes the app freezes so I can’t play any music at all. I’ve set up my playlist and cut into the perfect spot in my songs which was all easy enough but it won’t play once I get to the rink. Maybe an option to download the playlist might help.
