RequestBox is an app that enables you to manage song requests at events and venues. Hosting an event? Use RequestBox to create a box for your guests to drop their song requests in. You can create a box to get song requests in advance to help prepare a setlist. Or create a box during the party and receive live requests. Guest at a party? As a guest, you can influence the music by dropping song requests or by voting on other guests requests. You can also create an account to follow your favorite hosts/DJs and be the first to know when they create a new box. Note: RequestBox does not manage music playback. It is up to the host to use their preferred platform to source and play the music. Main features: • No sign ups required for guests. Just download the app, search for the box and request away. • Search for your favorite songs with the help of Spotify search • Boxes can be opened for up to 48 hours. You can also set a pin code for access, modify the request interval per guest and much more. • Optional Spotify playlist integration for your box. * Spotify features may be limited to territories and regions where Spotify is available
