DopaBeat Guide
San Francisco's Song Request App for Parties and Gatherings
Quick answer
If you're hosting in San Francisco and tired of passing your phone around, DopaBeat gives guests their own way to request songs — QR scan, short code, or browser link — and keeps playback control entirely with you.
San Francisco is known for a festival lineage from Outside Lands back to the Summer of Love, and the gatherings that come with it deserve better than shouted song requests. DopaBeat gives every guest in San Francisco a request line straight from their own phone, while you keep the final say on what plays.
How hosts in San Francisco take requests with DopaBeat
The pattern at any San Francisco gathering is the same: post the join code where people can see it, and requests start arriving before the first song ends. Guests search a massive YouTube-powered catalog, other guests vote on what they've added, and the host reviews everything from a single screen — no unlocked phone circulating the room.
The lowest barrier to entry at any San Francisco party
Not everyone at a San Francisco gathering wants to install an app for one evening, and with DopaBeat they don't have to. The web join path gets any guest with a browser into the party, requesting and voting alongside everyone else, while app users on iOS and Android get the full experience free.
Votes keep the queue honest in San Francisco
A request queue without ranking rewards whoever types fastest. DopaBeat adds voting on top, so a San Francisco crowd can push the songs it actually wants toward the top. The host sees demand at a glance and orders the night accordingly, without ever surrendering the skip button.
