Play Your Heart Out! TouchTunes’ New App Amplifies the Power of Social Connection Through Music
The radically remixed mobile app features a brand-new look and innovative updates that allow jukebox users to connect with others through music and darts like never before
LAS VEGAS, NV - March 18, 2025 - TouchTunes Music Company, LLC (“TouchTunes”), North America’s largest in-venue interactive music and entertainment platform, is announcing today that its new mobile app is now available. Built to enhance the social music experience of the jukebox in bars and restaurants across North America, the new mobile app highlights TouchTunes’ continued track record of innovation while reinforcing its mission of sparking joy through shared entertainment experiences.
Marking its biggest update yet, the completely revamped TouchTunes app was redesigned for a new generation of music lovers, elevating the bar and venue experience to make it more fun and social. Whenever someone plays a song on the jukebox, TouchTunes now enables other patrons in the venue to share reaction emojis via the app, giving everyone real-time feedback on their DJ skills. TouchTunes’ Social Reactions now makes it easier than ever to connect with friends or strangers by giving and receiving reactions for songs that set just the right vibe.
“At TouchTunes, we believe in the power of music and in-person experiences. Unlike apps that encourage solitary listening, our products create moments of shared joy. Our platform brings people together with the perfect song for any mood, whether celebrating a special occasion, competing in a darts league, or simply sharing a drink with friends.” said Charles Goldstuck, Executive Chairman of TouchTunes. “In today’s world, people are craving human connection more than ever. There’s no better place to find it than a TouchTunes restaurant, bar or social club.”
“It’s always a great feeling when you choose a song that really resonates with another person, or when someone else plays your jam,” added Robert Tomkinson, Chief Marketing Officer. “Now, any user can give or receive that dopamine rush, even strangers in a crowded bar, via Social Reactions in the TouchTunes app. With our in-app loyalty program, the more you play, the more free credits you can earn to play more songs. Looking forward, this new app is a platform for even more fun, social, rewarding features that make TouchTunes a must-have app for any night out. Stay tuned!”
Just getting started with TouchTunes? The new mobile app has improved search functions to help users find favorite artists or songs, plus numerous curated playlists to discover new ones. Users can also create personalized playlists, from classic rock to country, pop, Latin or hip hop, and easily queue songs onto the jukebox in just a few taps. Planning a night out with friends? TouchTunes users can start with a new interactive map to zoom in and choose a venue to match any vibe, whether exploring a new city, or getting to know their own neighborhood.
For those who love playing games as well as music, TouchTunes will soon unlock more ways for users to “Play Your Heart Out” by releasing a cutting-edge cashless mobile payment system called TouchTunes Pay. Seamlessly integrated into the new mobile app, this will allow users to pay for in-venue entertainment -- starting with BullShooter electronic darts -- directly via the app. All without missing a beat, while they jam to their favorite jukebox hits, and with no extra hardware required for jukebox or dartboard owners and operators.
TouchTunes is showcasing the new mobile app and unveiling TouchTunes Pay with a live demo at Amusement Expo in Las Vegas this week.
The new app is now available to download for anyone with an iPhone and is rolling out to Android users. TouchTunes has 4.9 out of 5 stars, and 1 million ratings in the Apple App Store. TouchTunes users play millions of songs on 65,000 jukeboxes at bars, casual restaurants and social clubs – that’s more locations than Starbucks or McDonald’s combined in North America.
