Walkups turns one phone into your team's walk-up song DJ — and gives every player a say in their own song. Plug the phone into the speaker, set tonight's batting order, and let it run the show: as each player steps to the plate, their song fires from the exact moment they picked — the drop, not the intro. BUILT FOR GAME NIGHT • Game Time: a scoreboard-style screen with the current batter up top and the rest of the order queued below • One big play button per at-bat, plus previous / next to move through the order • Tap any batter in Up Next to jump straight to them — the music follows • Keep score and the inning right on the scoreboard • Follow along on your Lock Screen with a Live Activity DEFENSE MUSIC • A separate field playlist that loops while your team is on defense • Switches automatically at the top or bottom of each inning, based on whether you're home or away • Picks up at the next song each inning, so nothing repeats • Import a public Apple Music playlist by link, and optionally keep the roster's walk-ups out of it YOUR WHOLE TEAM, ONE ROSTER • Sign in with Apple, and your teams sync to every phone on the roster • Invite players by link or code — they claim their spot and pick their own walk-up • Owner, Manager, and Player roles: managers run the lineup, players edit only their own row • Lineup and score changes show up live on every phone EVERY PLAYER GETS THEIR SOUND • Per-player song libraries with one active pick — easy to swap week to week • Set the exact start point for every song with a waveform scrubber • Suggested picks based on the artists already in your library, one tap to sample • Explicit tracks are clearly badged for leagues that require clean edits YOUR TEAMS • Keep as many teams as you manage, each with its own roster, logo, games, and field music • Co-Ed, Men's, or Women's — co-ed alternates two rotations automatically • Positions for every player — slow-pitch, fastpitch, or baseball lists — adjustable per game • New games start from your last game's lineup MADE FOR THE FIELD • Plays over the ring/silent switch and routes to Bluetooth speakers, with AirPlay built into Game Time • Edits made without signal queue up and sync when you're back online PLAYS THROUGH APPLE MUSIC Walkups plays through your own Apple Music subscription and searches the full catalog right inside the app — no switching apps at the plate. Grab the aux. You're the DJ now.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Walkups holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coldplay has 143 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Coldplay's written reviews are positive against 100% of Walkups's.
