Go Show Audio is the offline audio player built for live performers... Full access requires a monthly or lifetime subscription. BUILT FOR THE STAGE, NOT THE GYM Terms of Use: https://goshowaudio.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://goshowaudio.com/privacy Unlike generic music apps, Go Show Audio is designed for one thing: flawless live audio. Big buttons you can see from across the stage. A high-contrast dark theme that won't blind you in a dark venue. Landscape mode for the biggest possible view. And complete offline support so venue WiFi is never a concern. CREATE AND MANAGE MULTIPLE SHOWS Build separate playlists for every gig. A wedding set, a corporate event, a theater production — each with its own tracks, cue order, and settings. Duplicate an entire show in one tap to create variations without starting from scratch. PER-TRACK CONTROL Every track has its own settings: volume control (including boost up to 200% for quiet tracks), fade in and fade out timing, trim start and end points, auto-follow or wait modes, loop mode for background music, and enable/disable without removing from your setlist. WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL Control your show without touching your phone. Go Show Audio works with Audio Ape USB remotes, Bluetooth presentation remotes, and any standard media remote. Play, pause, next, and previous — all from a key fob in your pocket. WORKS 100% OFFLINE Every audio file is stored locally on your device. Turn on airplane mode and run your entire show with zero internet dependency. No buffering. No streaming failures. No mid-show phone calls. STAGE MODE One-tap access to a distraction-free performance view. Giant track name, up-next indicator, progress bar, and oversized play/pause/next/stop buttons. The last 10 seconds flash red so you always know when a track is about to end. Your show depends on your audio. Go Show Audio makes it bulletproof. Full access requires a monthly ($9.99/mo) or lifetime ($99.99) subscription
