A couple of recent user reviews on Google Play make for interesting reading.
One reviewer said he liked messing with his favorite bartender by playing the tracks she loathes while he is on the way home. TouchTunes also let him walk into the bar to his theme song.
A bartender, meanwhile, revealed TouchTunes is a game-changer for bartenders. They could anonymously change the vibe from behind the bar without having to go to the jukebox.
And the app is popular with business owners, too, as TouchTunes jukeboxes are a magnet for app-loving millennials with disposable income. Some have seen revenue increase by as much as 30% when they have installed the latest Angelina jukebox and let customers take on the role of DJ.
Meanwhile, the TouchTunes company lay claim to being the largest in-venue interactive music platform, with jukeboxes across North America and Europe.
They have been at the forefront since 1998, when they released the world’s first pay-to-play digital jukebox. Today’s app has been downloaded over nine million times.
Millions of songs are played daily using the mobile app, enabling the company to develop charts for each location about which tracks get played the most and what’s trending.
In addition to the jukebox business, the company also supplies music to workplaces, photo booths, and karaoke.
The app gets generally positive reviews and is highly rated at 4.8 out of 5 in the App Store but considerably less at 3.7 out of 5 on Google Play. However, the latter has substantially more reviewers voting on the app.
