FAQ
Nope — no subscription required. Walk-up songs play from Apple Music if you've got it, or straight from your phone's own music library if you don't. Either way, it's trimmed, timed, and cued to the exact moment you pick. No Apple Music at all? Announcements still fire. Your kid still gets their moment.
Eight premium announcer voices: Big League Bill, Hype Man Hank, Play by Play Pete, Ringside Randy, Dugout Donna, Coach Carlos (bilingual English/Spanish), Squeaky Sam, and Pumpkin Phil. Unlimited teams and players. A 7-day free trial, then $9.99/year. That's it. No hidden tiers, no per-feature unlocks. If you're running multiple teams or you want your kids to sound like they're walking up at a real ballpark, Premium is worth every penny.
Actually free. No timer, no watermark, no "upgrade to continue." We built a real working app for free users because not every family can justify another subscription, and every kid deserves a walk-up moment, regardless. One team, up to 12 players, walk-up music, between-innings playlist, Game Mode, the whole experience. It's not a taste. It's the thing. We've worked hard to make Premium worth your business, but if that's not in the budget right now, we hope the free mode gives your kid their moment. It's yours, free of charge, for as long as Walk-Up Hype is on the App Store.
Absolutely. The free tier includes Game Mode, walk-up music, between-innings music, parent song collection, and two built-in announcer voices. One of them, Minor League Mike, is an enhanced voice that takes a free one-time download in your iPhone settings. Here's the two-minute setup. Want the full stadium sound? Premium's 7-day free trial unlocks all eight premium voices.
You tap "Collect Songs" on your team, and the app gives you a shareable link. Drop it in the group text. Each parent opens the link on their phone (no app install needed), searches Apple Music, picks a song, sets the start time, and even tells the announcer how to pronounce their kid's name. You see every submission in a review queue and approve or reject before it hits the roster. The whole thing is encrypted and auto-expires after 7 days.
We built this for real fields, and real fields have terrible cell service. Walk-Up Hype has a "Save for Offline" feature that pre-generates every announcement for your entire roster and caches it to your device before you leave the house. Using songs from your phone's own library? Those are already offline-proof. Downloaded songs in Apple Music work great too. Either way, your whole game runs without a single bar of signal. Announcements fire, music kicks in, crowd goes wild. No Wi-Fi required.
Yes. Walk-Up Hype runs on iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo. On iPhone Duo, open it up and Game Mode puts your lineup and Between Innings side by side, so Now Batting and your playlist are on screen together. Fold or unfold mid-game and you stay right where you were.
Free is 1 team, up to 12 players. Plenty for a single squad. Premium is unlimited. Coach two teams? Run a whole league? Go for it.
You drop to the free tier automatically. All your data stays intact. Your teams, players, and announcements are still there. You just can't add a second team or add players beyond 12 until you resubscribe. Resubscribe and everything unlocks immediately.
BUILT BY A BASEBALL DAD
Walk-Up Hype started with a simple idea: every kid deserves a big-league moment, and coaches shouldn't need a sound engineering degree to make it happen. It's built by a baseball dad who codes between innings, and it keeps getting better every season because the families using it tell us what to fix.
