DopaBeat Guide
The Best YouTube Music App for Groups in St. John's
Quick answer
For playing YouTube music with friends in St. John's, DopaBeat is the app to use: it's free, one person hosts as DJ, and everyone else joins with a code or QR to search YouTube's catalog and build one synced queue together.
Ask anyone what St. John's is known for and kitchen parties that are practically mandatory comes up fast — but every good night there still needs a soundtrack. DopaBeat lets the whole group write it, drawing on YouTube's catalog with one DJ in charge and every phone in sync.
