Karaoke has become increasingly popular in the last decade, and rightly so. Few events promise as much fun as karaoke nights. And with karaoke apps for Apple TV, you can have fun with friends and family right at home on the big screen.
However, your experience is highly dependent on the application you are using. In this article, we list the best apps that will make your party fun.
1. Smule: Editors’ Choice
Smule is by far the most popular and well-made karaoke app. It constantly updates its library to bring you the latest songs and albums from some of the most popular singers in the industry.
In addition to providing lyrics like a regular karaoke app, Smule also informs you of the pitch and pauses you need to make for the perfect song. Smule is also one of the best ways to improve your singing while having fun and making it special!
However, Smule has terrible customer support and making a complaint is next to impossible. Plus, it’s an incredibly heavy app that fills up your cache and storage in minutes!
With recent updates, Smule has also become incredibly subscription-heavy and has placed most of its features in the paid category, leaving casual users with little to do in the app.
pros
- Helps improve your singing
- Huge song library
- Intuitive user interface
Minuses
- Poor customer support
- Few free features
- Recordings may have noise
Price: Free (VIP subscription starts at $2.99)
2. Misuero Karaoke Latino: Best for Latin American Music
Misuero Karaoke Latino is a karaoke app specially designed for Latin American music. As a result, the app has a small and limited song library of around a few thousand songs. The app’s music genres include balad, regional Mexican music, pop, bachata, merengue, salsa, durangense and many more.
On top of that, the Misuero Karaoke Latino team is constantly working to expand their library and add the latest Latin songs to the app, so it’s highly likely that your favorite song is in the app!
However, Misuero Karaoke Latino is not the best compatibility. Many users have reported that the app cannot connect well with external speakers and devices and causes a lot of lag that ruins the experience.
I love that the app is regularly updated with bug fixes and new features, but it’s not for everyone due to language restrictions!
pros
- Focused on Latin American music.
- Updated regularly
Minuses
- Limited Library
- Weakly designed user interface
- Offers fewer features
Price: Free for the first 200 songs (subscription starts at $0.99).
3. Karaoke on demand: the highest quality
Karaoke on Demand is one of the best apps on this list. Although the selection of songs is rather limited, this app is well-executed.
The big advantage of this app is that it can sync across devices! You can use it on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. This allows you to enjoy karaoke at home, on the road or in the park!
It has good animation and design language which makes it more immersive and fun. The app focuses more on pop, rock, country, blues, R&B, etc. and offers you everything from classic tunes to the latest music.
pros
- Easy to use
- Best User Interface
Minuses
- Small selection of songs
Price: Free (subscription starts at $9.99)
4. YouTube: the most popular
If you live these days, you must have heard a lot about Google’s streaming platform, YouTube. While there are many alternatives to YouTube, what you may not know is that this platform is also one of the best places for karaoke.
It is filled with countless karaoke videos for you to enjoy! You will find that there are singing lessons for almost every song here and it is free to use. Pretty elegant, right? In addition, it is constantly updated with new videos.
YouTube also has one of the best search engines that finds what you want in seconds. Sounds too good to be true, right?
The only downside to this app is that you will have to watch one or even two ads before the video. And since none of the videos are regulated, it’s not always possible to find quality karaoke songs!
pros
- Huge library
- All genres supported
- Completely free
Minuses
- Contains ads
- Unregulated videos
Price: Free
5. AirPlay: Best for Mac or iPhone users
Source: Apple
