AMI Play transforms smartphones into remote controls for commercial jukebox systems. Patrons can select music, play trivia, and activate arcade games at participating venues, creating interactive social experiences.

Detailed Review

AMI Play serves as a digital intermediary between mobile devices and AMI Entertainment's commercial jukebox systems, positioning itself as a modern solution for venue-based entertainment. The app bridges the gap between traditional coin-operated jukeboxes and contemporary digital expectations, allowing users to interact with entertainment systems without physically approaching the equipment. The core functionality revolves around three primary features: music selection through connected jukeboxes, free trivia games, and paid arcade machine activation. Users must first locate participating venues through the app's geolocation services, then establish connection to that location's AMI system. The music component operates on a credit-based system where users purchase digital coins to select songs or music videos, while trivia remains freely accessible. Arcade games require both connection to compatible machines and sufficient in-app credits for activation. User experience demonstrates thoughtful design for noisy, social environments. The interface employs high-contrast visuals and large touch targets suitable for use in dimly lit bars. Connection processes typically require 3-5 taps from app opening to functional control, though performance varies by venue internet connectivity. Real-world usage patterns show peak activity during evening hours and weekends, with most sessions lasting 15-45 minutes per venue visit. User feedback consistently praises the music control capabilities, with reviewer CJAP60 noting on July 1, 2025: 'it's so great to control the player from my seat at the bar - and to override bad music.' Multiple reviews highlight the extensive music library, with Kgj05499 mentioning on July 5, 2025: 'compared to other apps it has an extremely wide variety of songs.' However, some users express desire for additional features, as Philanill suggested on July 7, 2025 regarding song suggestions and subscription options. The app demonstrates significant strengths in its specialized niche, particularly through seamless venue integration and responsive control systems. Limitations include dependency on venue participation, occasional connectivity issues in areas with poor cellular reception, and the credit-based model which some users find restrictive. Ideal use cases involve social gatherings at participating bars and restaurants where users seek to influence atmosphere without leaving their seats.

I like this app quite a bit. The song selection is near perfect. However, I would like to send song requests to the main office to add.
