Free Mobile Request App For Karaoki | 1.1.0 Update Now Available
KaraoQuest 1.1.0 mobile singer/song request app is now available on the app store.
KaraoQuest is a free (with ads) no-frills iPhone/iPad mobile app that allows karaoke singers to view, search and request songs to sing via local area network (no internet required). Song requests are then viewed and accepted through the remote connections module in Karaoki and sent to the singer rotation list with a single click.
Since KaraoQuest works via network connection, internet isn’t required or utilized — which is a huge benefit for KJs in remote areas that lack reliable internet access.
App developer and karaoke aficionado Martin Picard created KaraoQuest after reviewing our old, outdated ‘Remote Request Terminal’ application made available for our Karaoki karaoke software years ago. The remote request terminal didn’t play nicely with Windows 10 so he hammered keys and developed what is now KaraoQuest.
The now-available 1.1.0 update to KaraoQuest includes various bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as GUI tweaks and a couple new features.
Here’s what’s new, changed and updated in KaraoQuest 1.1.0
- Songbooks, venues and singers data saved locally
- Reloading the songs on application startup is now optional
- Configurable retention period (default 1 day)
- Support for custom TCP port (other than 6000)
- Simpler main interface
- Enhanced status messages and error handling
- Various bug fixes and performance improvements

When will this be available for Android?
Hello Steven,
KaraoQuest is developed by a user and third-party – I believe he has suggested Android support may be available later, but no timetable.
Please make sure to send email when available in Android, great to have a karaoke fan who writes APP’s so no diss but just need both platforms so I can offer to everyone!
Hi Forbes, we will certainly inform everyone!
Not sure you’re aware but we do have SongbookDB support now – learn more about it HERE.
Hi Ryan,
This is HUGE!! Nice little app! I’ve been testing the app out using my iphone. There’s a couple querks with it though.
One is that the phone app always says, “Request accepted, song added” when a request is sent to the KJ. However, I purposely have “auto accept” NOT clicked in the Karaoki app. And I have not “accepted” the song request. Ideas??
Who do we contact with tech questions like this and tech input for the next version?
thanks,
Mike
