Bluetooth & AirPlay — get sound to your speaker
Plug into the field PA or stream over Bluetooth. GameDay DJ shows the active output right on the toolbar, so you always know which speaker the next walk-up is about to land on.
When you'd use this: every game — getting your phone's audio to the speaker the crowd can hear, and being sure it's the right one before the leadoff batter steps up.
Connect and confirm your speaker
-
1
Pair the speaker
Connect your Bluetooth speaker the usual way in the iPhone's settings, plug into the PA with a cable, or pick an AirPlay receiver. Anything iOS can output to, GameDay DJ plays through.

2
Check the route on the toolbar
The active output route is shown on the toolbar of every audio screen — it names the speaker you're connected to, so there's no guessing.
-
3
Switch in one tap
Tap the route to move between your Bluetooth speaker, AirPlay, a wired output, or the phone itself.

Keep the speaker awake
Some Bluetooth speakers nod off during quiet stretches and clip the start of the next song. Turn on Bluetooth Keep Alive so the speaker stays awake and the next walk-up fires cleanly.
Troubleshooting
No sound at the field
Check, in order: the iPhone's silent/ring switch, the volume, and the audio route on the toolbar. If the route points at the phone instead of your speaker, tap it and switch. Confirm the speaker itself is powered and paired in iOS settings.
It's playing through the wrong speaker
Tap the route indicator on the toolbar and pick the right output. If a stray Bluetooth device keeps grabbing it, turn that device off or "forget" it in iOS settings so it can't auto-connect.
The first second of each song gets cut off
That's the speaker sleeping between cues. Turn on Bluetooth Keep Alive — it sends a silent keep-alive so the speaker is awake the instant playback starts.
My voice or music lags over Bluetooth
A little latency is normal over Bluetooth — the speaker buffers audio. For the tightest timing (especially with Live Mic), a wired connection to the PA has the least delay.
I don't see my AirPlay receiver
Make sure the phone and the receiver are on the same wifi network, then open the route picker again. AirPlay needs a network; Bluetooth and wired don't.
