Tell the DJ

Party together, DJ better

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Guests request songs with no music account or subscription — scan the QR and you're in. The host plays it their way, and the room picks what plays next. Tell the DJ turns any party into a shared playlist. Guests request the songs they want to hear, the DJ sees them ranked in real time, and the room decides what plays next. No shouting over the music. Scan a QR code or tap a link and you're in — guests don't need a music service account or subscription to request songs. HOW IT WORKS • The DJ opens a session and shares the QR code or link. • Guests search and request songs — no music service needed. • Every request lands in a live ranked list — upvote what you want to hear. • Want a track higher up? Boost it — watch a short ad for a free boost, or use a Boost token. • The DJ plays the room, not a fixed playlist. FOR GUESTS • Join with nothing but the app — no music subscription required. • Search and request in seconds, and add a message with your request. • Upvote other people's picks, boost your own, and track purchased Boosts in the Token Wallet. • Open any request in Spotify to hear or queue it there. • Tip the DJ if they nailed it — payments are handled securely by Stripe. • Get a notification when your song is up next. FOR DJs AND HOSTS — PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Run the night from your phone: reorder, remove, and see what's playing. • Play requests straight through Apple Music (requires your own Apple Music subscription). • Or play from anywhere — another app, vinyl, even a live band: Shazam listens to the room, recognises the track, sets it as the song that's playing, and ticks the request off automatically. • Keep it on-brief: limit requests to certain artists, certain genres, or a public Spotify playlist. • Set a PIN for private sessions, cap the number of participants, set start and stop times, and control repeat requests. • Cast the live request list to any screen with Chromecast. • Get tipped — and track your balance, your next payout and your full payment history right in the app. CO-HOSTING (PRO) Running a big night on your own is hard. Pro hosts can invite up to 3 co-hosts with a single code. Co-hosts help curate the queue and manage session settings, and you can revoke them at any time. Money, earnings and ending the session stay with you. TELL THE DJ PRO Monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial: • Unlimited participants, instead of 200 • Up to 3 co-hosts • Up to 10 artist filters and 5 genre filters • Recurring sessions and pre-join • Export the night's playlist to Spotify • Up to 10x boost on tipped requests • No banner ads AD-FREE, YOUR WAY Remove ads for yourself with a one-off purchase. Or, as a host, remove the banner ad for everyone in your session — guests included, and anyone who joins later — with a single tap. Weddings, clubs, bars, house parties, BBQs. Anywhere there's a speaker and an audience, Tell the DJ makes the music a conversation. Start a session, share the code, and let the room pick the next track.
