## What is YapZap?

THE BEST MUSIC LEAGUE APP FOR SPOTIFY AND APPLE MUSIC USERS

YapZap is the ultimate music league platform. Create leagues with friends, submit songs for themed rounds, vote on the best tracks, and climb the leaderboards. Works with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TIDAL, and more.

WHY YAPZAP IS THE BEST MUSIC LEAGUE APP

WORKS WITH ALL STREAMING SERVICES
