GameDay Music brings the energy on game day and keeps practices moving — walk-up songs, voice introductions, sound effects, break music, fan requests and more, across 15 sports. WALK-UP SONGS Assign a song to every player and set a start point so the best part plays first. One tap during the game, no fumbling with playlists. Works with Apple Music or your own files. VOICE INTRODUCTIONS Announce your players like the pros. Choose from 38 premium announcers, men and women with accents from around the world, or free on-device Apple voices. Customize the lead-in per sport — "Now batting," "On the ice" — and fix the pronunciation of any name. ONE-TAP GAME DAY Load any song onto any action button and set where it starts. Buttons sit on the main screen showing what is loaded — one tap fires the song, the effect and the call together. EVENT MODE — THE CROWD PICKS THE MUSIC Turn a team party, tournament or fundraiser into a room where everyone picks the music. Share a QR code and anyone adds a song from their phone — no app download. The crowd upvotes, so the songs most people want rise to the top, with a live chat you can moderate. Nothing plays until you play it. Afterwards every request is saved, ready for a team playlist. (Coach Pro) GAME OPENER Park a song to open the game and fire it with one tap. Layer staff and roster introductions over it for a full pre-game show, or let the song carry it. SPORT-SPECIFIC MODES Baseball and Softball — batting order, pitcher warm-up, 7th inning stretch Football and Flag Football — offense/defense boards, touchdown and big-play buttons Basketball — action buttons, timeout music, three-pointer effects Hockey — goal horns, penalty calls, intermission playlists Soccer and Field Hockey — goal celebrations, set-piece sounds, halftime music Lacrosse — goal sounds, man-up calls, face-off effects Rugby — try and conversion calls, scrum, lineout and big-hit sounds Cricket — batting order, four, six and wicket calls, innings break music Volleyball — point celebrations, timeout music, serve effects Wrestling — entrance music, match sounds, ceremony audio Cheerleading — routine music, entrance songs, team ceremonies Golf — songs pinned to each hole, tap the flag to advance, keep score for the group, and share the round PRACTICE MODE Run timed drills with music, effects and a buzzer between sets. QUICK FX 44 built-in sounds — airhorns, crowd cheers, organ charges and sport-specific calls. Record your own or import files, and fire any with a tap. BREAK MUSIC & PLAYLISTS Build playlists for timeouts, halftime and between innings, then browse by category during the game — Pre-Game, Break, Post-Game and Fan Picks. Played songs are marked, and can be hidden so nothing repeats. FAN & PLAYER SONG REQUESTS Fans and players send requests from their phones, no app download. They land in your queue, and nothing reaches the speakers until you play it. TEAM SHARING Send another team a link — one tap imports the roster, voice intros and settings. TEAM MANAGEMENT Rosters with jersey numbers and nicknames, team colors and logos, cloud backup and restore, and multiple teams across sports. BUILT FOR GAME DAY Lock screen play, pause, skip and fade. Shows whether audio is going to the speaker, headphones or Bluetooth. Works in silent mode, and screen lock stops accidental taps mid-play. Save your songs to Apple Music for offline play and they work with no signal at the field. COACHING STAFF & CEREMONIES Entrance music for coaches and staff, plus anthems, award presentations and pre-game shows. GameDay Music requires a subscription after a 14-day free trial — one team, or unlimited teams plus Event Mode. An Apple Music subscription is required for full catalog access; your own files work for walk-up songs without one. Premium voices are powered by ElevenLabs (free credits included; more via in-app purchase). Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
