SportsDJ is available on Android via Google Play — search "SportsDJ" or find it at play.google.com. An iOS version is in development.

SportsDJ uses Google Sign-In — no separate password needed. Tap "Sign in" on the app or web portal and choose your Google account. The same account works across both.

Open the app, tap the + button in a group, and import an audio file from your device. MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and M4A are all supported. You can also import a ZIP of multiple files at once.

You need DRM-free audio files to import into SportsDJ. Amazon Music sells individual MP3s — search for a song on amazon.com, look for the "Buy MP3" option, and it downloads to your device. Bandcamp is great for independent artists and lets you download as MP3 or FLAC. iTunes/Apple Music lets you purchase songs that download as M4A files. HDtracks offers high-resolution FLAC downloads. All of these formats (MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV, OGG) are supported by SportsDJ.

When you tap + to import a sound, the system file picker opens. Tap the menu icon (three lines) in the top-left corner to open the sidebar, then select Google Drive. Navigate to your folder and tap the file to import it. If you don't see Google Drive in the sidebar, make sure the Google Drive app is installed on your device. Alternatively, open the Google Drive app, find your file, tap the three-dot menu, and choose Download — then import it from your Downloads folder in SportsDJ.

On iOS (coming soon), tap + to import a sound and the Files picker will open. Tap Browse at the bottom, then select iCloud Drive under Locations. Navigate to your file and tap it to import. If your file isn't showing up, make sure it has been downloaded to your device — tap the cloud icon next to the file in the Files app to download it first.

Up to 8 sounds can play concurrently. This lets you layer a goal horn over a crowd track or stack multiple effects without one cutting off another.

Each sound button can be configured independently for single tap and double tap. Long-pressing a tile always opens its settings. Actions include Play, Restart, Pause/Resume, Stop, Fade Out, and Toggle Loop.

Long-press a sound tile to open its settings. Under Loop, choose Endless to loop until stopped, or set a fixed number of repetitions. You can also assign Toggle Loop to any tap action to flip looping on and off while the sound is playing.

Each sound has individual Fade In and Fade Out durations you can set in its settings. Set them to 0 ms for instant start/stop. You can also inherit the app-wide default from Settings → Audio instead of setting per sound.

When enabled on a sound, the next sound in the same group starts automatically when the current one finishes naturally (not when stopped). Useful for chained announcements or playlist-style groups.

Tap the search icon in the top bar and type any part of the sound name to filter across all groups at once. Results show a group label so you know where each sound lives.

Long-press a tile to open its settings. Set Start Trim and End Trim values (in milliseconds) to define the portion of the file that plays. Use the preview slider to audition playback within the trimmed range. This is a Pro feature.

Long-press the sound tile to open its settings. Edit the Name field to rename it. Under Color, choose one of the preset colors or enter a custom hex value — the tile updates instantly.

Long-press a sound tile to open its settings, scroll to the bottom, and choose Copy to Group or Move to Group. This is a Pro feature.

Dropouts are configurable silent windows mid-playback where the sound ducks to near-silence — useful for crowd singalong moments where you want to pull back the music and let the crowd carry it. Add one or more ranges in the sound editor. This is a Pro feature.

Long-press a group tab to open the group menu and tap Arrange Tiles. Long-press any tile to pick it up and drag it to a new position. Tap Done in the banner at the top to exit drag mode. You can also reorder from the side menu under Manage Sound Groups.

Long-press any group button in the bottom bar to open a context menu with Move Left and Move Right options. You can also drag groups from the Manage Sound Groups screen in the side menu.

Instead of a generic sound grid, hockey and baseball/softball groups get purpose-built panels. Hockey groups show score, period, shots-on-goal, and a goal event log. Baseball and softball groups show your batting order and advance automatically after each walk-up.

Create a new group and choose Hockey as the group type. The panel replaces the grid with score tracking controls, period management, and a 6-button sound layout. Configure your goal horn, celebration track, and other key sounds in the group settings.

Create a group with the Baseball or Softball type, then link it to a team from your roster. The panel shows your batting order in sequence. Tap a player to play their walk-up sound and advance to the next batter automatically.

In the app, open your team roster, tap a player, and assign a walk-up sound. When that player comes up in the batting order panel, their assigned sound plays.

SportsDJ includes a Wear OS companion app for Pixel Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch. Install it from the Play Store on your watch or through the Wear OS app on your phone. In Settings → Watch Tile, choose which group's sounds appear as tile buttons. This is a Pro feature.

Long-press an empty area on your Android home screen and tap Widgets. Find SportsDJ and drag it onto your home screen. Tapping a button on the widget triggers that sound without opening the app. This is a Pro feature.

Connect a Bluetooth HID foot pedal to your Android device. In Settings → Bluetooth, tap Configure Footpedal. For each pedal button, tap Learn then press the physical key to register it, then assign it to either a sound group (each press advances through the group) or a single sound. This is a Pro feature.

Bluetooth speakers doze off after a moment of silence and need a split second to wake, clipping the beginning of the next sound — and many play a reconnect beep when they wake. Enable Keep Bluetooth Awake in Settings → Bluetooth to play a continuous inaudible loop that keeps the speaker alive between triggers, eliminating both the clipping and the reconnect beep. This is a Pro feature.

The pre-roll injects a short silent buffer before each sound to give a Bluetooth device time to wake up before audio starts. Enable and tune the duration in Settings → Bluetooth. This is a Pro feature.

Rosters are managed on-device in the app. Create a baseball, softball, or hockey team, then add players with their name, number, position, and any details you want on hand for announcements. Rosters are used to power your batting order panel and walk-up sound assignments. A web portal for managing rosters is coming soon.

Roster import from CSV and other sources is on the roadmap. For now, players are added one at a time in the app.

AI clips are broadcast-quality audio announcements generated from your player data — name pronunciations, walk-up intros, and full lineup reads. You will be able to generate and download them from the web portal and use them as sounds in the app.

The ceremony builder lets you script a full pre-game ceremony — national anthem, lineup intro, individual walk-ups — and run the whole sequence on autopilot from one screen.

Multi-coach access to a shared roster is on the roadmap. For now each roster lives on the device of the person who created it.

SportsDJ runs a foreground service to keep audio alive in the background. If playback stops on lock, check that you have not force-stopped the app or restricted its battery usage in Android system settings (Settings → Apps → SportsDJ → Battery).

Bluetooth devices go to sleep after a moment of silence and need time to wake, clipping the start of sounds. Enable the audio pre-roll in Settings → Bluetooth to inject a short silent wake-up buffer before each sound. Alternatively, enable Keep Bluetooth Awake to prevent the speaker from sleeping at all. Both are Pro features.
