WalkAmp — Walk-Up Songs & Announcer for Youth Baseball & Softball

Q: Does it work on Android?

Yes. WalkAmp is on Google Play with the same Apple Music catalog search, announcers, and soundboard as iOS.

Q: How do I get the sound to the field?

Any Bluetooth speaker works. If your field has a PA, plug your phone into the aux input. Your phone is the whole setup.

Q: Is it okay for younger teams?

Yes. Nothing about players is public, there are no player accounts, and you can mute announcements for the whole team.

How it works

The setup happens on your couch,
not at the field.

Add players by hand, snap a photo of the paper roster, or drop in a screenshot from your league app. It's a one-time job, maybe ten minutes, and then game day is just tapping names.

Build your lineup

Add players by hand, or snap a photo of your roster sheet and let WalkAmp read the names and numbers. Drag to set the batting order.

Pick each player's song

Search the Apple Music catalog, no subscription needed, or choose from built-in walk-up tracks. Set the clip length and preview it before game day.

Tap the batter. That's it.

Connect a speaker, tap who's up, and the announcer calls their name right into their song. Next batter is already on deck.

App tour

Here's what it actually looks like.

WalkAmp lineup with a player now batting

Live lineup

Built for the dugout, not the DJ booth.

Your batting order in one column — number, name, position, song. Tap a player and the Now Batting bar takes over: announcer, then their song, with one big play button. Add players one at a time, bulk-add, or import.

WalkAmp Apple Music search with popular walk-up song lists

Song picker

Any song on Apple Music. Or just pick from the hits.

Search songs, artists, or albums, or browse curated walk-up lists — Most Popular, Top 40, Rock Anthems, Hip-Hop — and preview before you choose. No Apple Music subscription needed: every song plays its official 30-second preview, which is longer than a walk-up anyway. Spotify doesn't connect and you don't need it. Subscribers get the full track and any start point on iPhone and Android.

One bad lyric can end a league's walk-up program, so we made the clean version the easy pick. Explicit tracks wear an E in search, and the built-in lists and finder only ever suggest clean versions.

WalkAmp clip editor and announcement timing

Clip editor & timing

The exact 30 seconds, right after the name.

Drag the handles to the drop, set start and duration to the tenth of a second, and decide whether the song starts after the announcement or under it. Spell tricky names phonetically so the announcer nails them.

WalkAmp announcer voices and announcement templates

Announcers & templates

"Now batting… number 14… Riley Torres!"

Pick a voice, pick a call — Classic, Hype, Stepping Up, Hear It — or write your own template with the player's number and name. Preview it before the game so there are no surprises at the plate.

Sound Board

Charge! Air horn. Rally time.

Tap-to-play stadium cues — Charge, Let's Go, Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Clap Organ, Strike, Safe, Out — plus your own sounds. Queue a between-innings playlist so the field never goes quiet.

Full Team Intro

Announce the whole starting lineup.

Before first pitch, play a pro-style intro that runs through every player in order — "Batting first… shortstop… number 7… Mason Alvarez" — with your own opener, closer, announcer, and music bed.

Roster scan

From roster sheet to team in a photo.

Snap your roster or a screenshot from your league app. WalkAmp reads names and numbers, you tick the players you want, pick the sport and season, and the team is built.

Team settings

Your colors, your staff, your assistant's phone.

Set a team color, add coaching staff, and give an assistant access by email — they sign in and the team is just there. Pick the team's default announcer, or flip Skip Announcements for music-only games.

And more

The little things that end up mattering.

Real stadium announcer

Studio-quality voices read every name and number — their own name over the PA, the way the big leagues do it.

Custom name pronunciation

Spell it how it sounds — "so-FEE-ah" — and the announcer gets it right every time. No more cringing at the plate.

Multiple teams & seasons

Travel ball and rec? Keep every team, color, and lineup separate by season and switch in a tap. Coaches get a walk-up song too.

Clean versions, flagged

Explicit tracks are marked with an E in search, and the built-in lists and finder only ever suggest clean versions. No player accounts, nothing public, and you can skip announcements for the whole team.

English · Español · 日本語

The whole app and the announcer voices come in three languages, so the intro sounds right for your team.

Works without a subscription

No Apple Music subscription needed. Every song plays its official 30-second preview, which is longer than a walk-up anyway. Spotify doesn't connect and you don't need it.

Pricing

FAQ

Questions from the dugout

Do I need Apple Music? What about Spotify?

No. WalkAmp searches the Apple Music catalog on iPhone and Android, and without a subscription every song plays its official 30-second preview, which is longer than a walk-up anyway.

Spotify doesn't connect and you don't need it. Apple Music subscribers get the full track and can pick any start point.

Does it work on Android?

Yes. WalkAmp is on Google Play.

You get the same Apple Music catalog search, announcers, and soundboard as iOS.

Apple Music won't connect on my Android phone. What do I do?

Sign out of the Apple Music app on that phone, then open WalkAmp, go to My Music, and tap Apple Music to sign back in.

It's a known problem in Apple's Android sign-in library, not WalkAmp, and that fix has worked every time. Step-by-step guide with screenshots

How do I get the sound to the field?

Any Bluetooth speaker works — most coaches use a portable party speaker. Your phone is the whole rig.

If your field has a PA, plug your phone into the aux input.

Do the announcers actually say my players' names?

Yes. Every player gets their own intro with their real name and number, set up before the game so it is ready when they step to the plate.

If a name gets tripped up, you can spell it out the way it sounds.

Is it okay for younger teams?

That's who it was built for. Nothing about your players is ever public, and there are no player accounts.

You can mute announcements for the whole team if parents would rather names not be called out loud.

How do I keep explicit lyrics off the field?

Explicit tracks are marked with an E in search results and on the player's song, so you can see it before you pick. The built-in walk-up lists and the song finder only ever suggest clean versions.

One catch: your own audio files are not screened. The app reminds you when you import them, so give them a listen first.

What happens after the 7 day Season Pass Preview?

Nothing is deleted and nothing charges automatically. Your teams and lineups stay saved.

You drop to a single team and six players until a Season Pass opens the full roster.

Can my assistant coach or a parent run it?

Yes. Invite them by email from the team's settings and they get full access to run the lineup from their own phone — an assistant coach in the dugout, or a parent up in the stands working the speaker while you coach third.

One catch: songs you added from your own MP3 files don't play on their phone until they add their own copy from My Music. Apple Music songs, Free Music Catalog songs, and WalkAmp Hits play as-is.

When I share a team, does the music carry over?

Not all of it. Songs added from your own files stay on the phone that added them, so the other coach can't play those until they add their own copy from My Music. Full Apple Music tracks need an Apple Music subscription on their phone; without one, the free 30-second clip plays instead.

Apple Music songs, Free Music Catalog songs, WalkAmp Hits, clip start times, and announcer settings do carry over. WalkAmp doesn't upload or store your music. How to share your team
