DJ song request app: how a QR code replaces paper slips

What a DJ song request app does

It gives each event its own page. Guests open it by scanning a QR code, type a song or a message and send it. The request lands in a list on your screen straight away, with the song, the sender and the time.

• Requests arrive in one place instead of five
• Guests can add a tip or boost a request if they want to
• You see the list live, without leaving the decks

How guests use it

A guest points their phone camera at the QR code. A page opens in the browser, so there is nothing to install and no sign-up. They type the song, add a name if they like, and press send. That is all they do, and it takes about as long as a text message.

Free, boosted and tip: three ways to send

A free request costs the guest nothing. A boosted request is paid and moves up your list so you notice it first. A tip is a thank-you with no song attached. A boost never forces you to play anything. It only tells you how much that request matters to someone.

Keeping control of your set

The list does not tell you what to play. You pick what fits the moment and ignore the rest. Many DJs scan the list during a mix, note the two or three songs that come up most, and work them into the next block.

• Look at the list between tracks, not during a transition
• Play what fits the room, then say thanks from the booth
• Ignore anything that would clear the floor

Setting one up

Create a DJ page, add an event, and show the QR code on a sign near the booth. MyWeeshy is free for up to 7 events a month, with no card, so you can test it at a normal gig before you decide whether it suits you.
