Last week I went out to the bar. This wasn’t your regular bar outing though. A few of us got a chance to test out the new TouchTunes redesigned app. This app doesn’t only work with your phone, it works with the jukebox at the bar as well. So if your bar has a TouchTunes jukebox, instead of getting up to the jukebox to make your song selection every time, you can pick and pay from the TouchTunes app on your phone.
What is TouchTunes and where can you find it?
TouchTunes jukeboxes are found in over 65,000 bars in North America. The app can also help you locate places nearby that have TouchTunes jukeboxes. Or you an use their locator HERE. You can pay for song credits with mobile payment apps such as Apple Pay.
There’s an extensive catalog to choose from, and you will definitely find the latest hits on the jukebox. You can teach the app what type of music you like and it will recommend songs and artists to listen to based on your past choices. TouchTunes also has curated playlists to keep the mood going easily. It brings the music to the forefront, making song selection and playback easier.
Other key features of the app include the following:
- Smart Check-In: Automatically checks users in to locations visited frequently.
- Playlists Made Easy: Users can import playlists from Spotify or iTunes and build a “Favorites” playlist by liking songs and artists throughout the app experience.
- Venue Staff Messaging: Allows staff to program custom messages to appear within the app when a user checks-in to their venue.
- Customer Service: Improved in-app support.
- Get the app for iOS or Android
