It might take you a while to get everything
to work correctly – we had some server issues for
a bit while we tried to get everything up and
running. When you’ve set up the party, this is the
first screen you’ll see. If you want, sign in to
SoundCloud to use your playlists.

Get the party started

When it does start playing you’ll receive a
code that will pop up on your screen. This is what
you need to give to your friends so that they can
join in with the music. You’re going to need your
phones close to each other to get everything
synced, so it’s best to do it all at once.

Once everything is synced together you
can crank the volume up on the devices and start
dancing. Remember that only the host of the party
can change the track or pause the music; the only
thing other party members can do is turn the
volume up on their own devices.

Head to the dance floor

11

On the devices that you want to sync with

the host, you need to tap the black Join button at

the bottom of the screen. When you’re prompted

you’ll need to type in the code you received from

the host. Tap OK and then tap Join to continue. It

shouldn’t take too long.

Join the party

9

When you’re signed in you can search for

music, either by using one of the pre-generated

playlists or by playing some of your own. Choose

what you want to listen to and tap on it to start

your party. The music should start playing pretty

much straight away.

Sign up

7

If for any reason you want to end the party

then just tap the big button that says End Party.

You can skip and pause the tracks with the

buttons at the bottom of the screen. You don’t

need the app constantly running in the foreground

for it to work either.

Party’s over

12

Now this is the slightly fiddly bit: you need

to sync the devices together. Hold them

reasonably close and make sure the volume on

the devices you’re syncing is in the Sweet spot. It

might take a couple of tries to get this right so

have some patience, but it will work.

Sync all devices

10

The host can tap the share button at the

top of the screen to send the party code out to

other people. There are a variety of ways to do it

and it’s probably quicker than reading it out. Then

that’s it, you should now have multiple devices

playing the same music.

Share the code

Will the app be

able to use other

music services?

At the time of writing you can

only use SoundCloud, which is

a bit of a shame as it’s not the

most popular software.

However, the developer has

said that it is working on

bringing other music streaming

services on board, so hopefully

it’s something we’ll see in the

not too distant future.
