I’ve been using the app for a few years now and, overall, I really like the app. However, is there a way to make accessing a page easier? I’m thinking if you made a row of numbers across the top (or side…wherever it could fit best) of the page that could be selected to go to that particular page number. The scrolling of pages takes a bit of time especially with many pages (I’m up to 18 pages now). Directly selecting a page would make things so much easier!The only other suggestion I have is if there were to be a way to make the selection of the exact time of the song a bit more easy. There are instances in which I can choose, for example, :50.8 but I can’t get :50.6; it skips around the number I need. Minor things but making some things easier within the app will make it a no-brainer for game day in my opinion.Merci beaucoup for your work on this over the years!

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Your suggestions are great. I will see how I can make it fit in another release. Did you know that you could swipe left or right to change the pages of buttons? I thought I fixed the decimal point on the start time selection. I will check again. In the meantime Enjoy the games :-) have fun with the app.
Has potential...

I have been using another app for the last few years, but unfortunately, it has not been updated in awhile and stopped working recently. I just downloaded this one and set up the playlists. One thing I’d like to see is dedicated buttons for goal horns and other sound effects that always show at the top of the screen. That way, I don’t have to use a dedicated button in each period for the horn. I know you can switch periods pretty easily, but it would be easier if it was just on the screen all the time.

Hello, this is an interesting suggestion, I will see how I can fit that on the screen. Did you see that you can customize the “One-Minute-Left” button and assign a horn sound? This is the button just left of the play button. This button is the same on all screens. This is in fact how I ended up setting up my screen for my son’s games :-)

I’m a hockey mom in the US (Michigan), and we love this app for our home games. I just wish there was a way to contact the developer for support. I need help with something, but I cannot find a contact link.In short, I manage the game scoresheets and the music. Listed on page (period) 1 there are 2 goal horns which were pre-loaded with the app. One sounds like a ship horn, the other a siren. Both have good music mixed with the horns. Our team likes both goal celebrations, and we use them for every scored goal. But if it’s late in the game and I’m page 6 or 7 it is difficult for me to quickly navigate back to page 1 to hit the goal button. I’d like to repeat both horns on each page so I can find the button easier and without delay. Is it possible for me to duplicate these horns on other pages, or can you send me the files so I can add them to my Apple Music?Thanks for your time and help.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, this is well appreciated :-), I will look at providing a way to reuse embedded songs on different buttons. In the meantime, here are the app goal horns mp3 files https://hockeysongs.laurentbutre.com/Goals.zip . You can import them in your iTunes catalog , sync with your phone and then set them up to whatever buttons you wish. If you want to contact me directly, you can do it via email at ceo@laurentbutre.com
A good start to what could be something really special

I bought this today for my daughters first game of the season. Navigating the app and uploading the music were easy enough and it got good reviews from the audience at the game. That said this could be so much better:-There’s a built in goal horn which is nice for the home team. However if I just started playing a song and paused it, the place where the song was paused is completely lost if you want to use the goal horn and then go back to the paused song. -Second, there’s an add-on for announcing penalties which is great because our rink does not have a microphone. However, there’s nothing like this for the goals! Parents always complain they don’t know if their kid was involved in a scoring play or not and it seems like it would be so easy to use a similar method available for penalties for the goals to announce the goal scorer and assists. -3rd, you can edit a song’s start point, but not the end point. Would like to be able to cut both ends as needed. I hope these 2 improvements are coming in the next update as this looks like it could be a great app for parent djs to do music for their kids games.

(Update Nov 8) - I have released a new version with the Horn recall last song feature. Let me know if that answer your need. Super suggestions.Please contact me at ceo@laurentbutre.comI should be able to implement them in a future version.For the goal announcement you can do that with the Microphone option. This will let you record your sentence and play it back, therefore announcing goals. Best regardsLaurent
Screen stays on while playing songs, so hockey parents and rink DJs always have instant access to goal horns, music buttons and soundboard controls during the game.
