TipTunez is an interactive app to bridge the gap between party goers and DJ's. Users are able to request songs or shout-outs based on a minimum tip amount the DJ requires. We all know DJ's hate request, especially when money isn't offered. So this app takes the awkwardness out of the situation. Users select the venue they are at and will be able to locate the DJ that is currently spinning and see the minimum amount for a request for that DJ. The user can then make a request and the DJ will approve or deny the request. If the song is approved they DJ has 45 minutes to play the song. If the song is not played the money is refunded. Users can also cancel request if the song has not been approved in a timely manner. From your local club DJ's to your superstar DJ's this app is about fun and connecting patrons to enhance the energy of a party or club. Search by event name, DJ, date, city, or venue. This app is made to be easy and evolve to create the best experience for the User and DJ. Feedback is always welcomed. Thank you for downloading.
