DancePicker

So useful..helpful for using when out jogging .. Find tempo to speed up or slow down .. Recommended it to a freind and he's using as a tool for first dance and all of his wedding songs .. Helps make sure their first dance is apt lyrically and for timing. This is a must have app .. Has so many uses!!!!

Frankly, DancePicker is a godsend. I regularly need to find music of a particular rhythm, and it's surprisingly hard - you end up randomly googling, and getting random forum posts where people have listed their favourite jive tracks (say). It always *seemed* like there should be some decent repository somewhere, and that's exactly what DancePicker promises. And, amazingly, delivers. Apps like these live and die by their data: is there actually enough information there to be useful? Thankfully, yes! There's a huge song database with full details of each song's beats per minute, dance style - and even where it's been used on tv/stage/elsewhere. This last one is particularly great - I found a waltz I liked, and was then told it had been used on Strictly Come Dancing, including the series and episode, so I could look up the video. I'm amazed they've put so much data together - it must have been quite the job. The app itself works well, too. You can search for songs by all the above criteria, and it's all quick and easy. The BPM search is particularly elegant. My only suggestion would be to make the first screen a little clearer - it's not entirely obvious at first which button you should choose, or where you should start. A few minutes of playing around sorts that, but it's worth checking out the video clips on the website too - they're brief, but clear and well-narrated, and quickly show you what's best. In short, this is a quiet little app that'll quickly become indispensable. Recommended!

Zero stars if I could. When you try to search, you just get the spinning loading wheel forever. They shouldn’t be allowed to sell this.

I feel that I wasted my $2.99 buying this app. It fails to find most songs that I request. It's apparently VERY limited in its search ability. Worse yet, I no longer can see what I type in search window. Apparently it's using white letters in a white background box. Makes no sense. Awful app in my opinion!

This app is very useful to search a song and determine what dance style should be used with it. However the app does not seem to have been updated for larger screen sizes. I would love to see this app improve and grow. For now it is a useful search tool that feels in finished
