NextJam
An iOS mobile app where you can join a music room and broadcast playing music in real-time to everyone's phone who joined that room.
The problem
What if you want to play music on multiple devices, whether it is your or someone else's phone?
Something like this doesn't exist yet, or it would be way too complicated to do it using other apps.
The solution
Real-time music streaming app where you can join a music room, and listen to the currently playing song.
The rooms can be created by anyone, and they can be either public or private.
- Public rooms: anyone can join.
- Private rooms: you would need to enter the randomly generated invite code sent to you by the creator of that room.
Sign up process
The sign up process is done in 6 steps.
- Create a new account or sign into the existing one
- Enter your phone number
- Enter the 6-digit verification code that was sent to the provided phone number
- Create your account via 3rd party apps like Facebook or Google, or just create the account within the app
- Manually create an account within the app
- Follow people recommended by the algorithm, or just skip to the home page
Play. Everywhere.
When you join a room, you can see:
- Room banner image
- Host name and profile image
- Currently playing song
- Number of likes for the current song
- Added songs to the playlist
- Ability to add your own song to the playlist
This way, anyone who joined this room is able to listen to the currently playing song on their phone, as well as add their own song. But only the host is able to choose which song to play, and start playing it.

Admin panel
Aside from the mobile application, the clients also wanted us to develop an administrative web platform so they could have a general overview of the entire app performance, analytics and statistics, as well as control of all rooms and user accounts.
Overview
The overview tab displays the total number of users and rooms created by the users. As things progressed, it has been planned ahead of time to add more features in this tab.
Users
On the users tab, the clients are able to have an overview of all (paginated) users, filter through them and view more details about each user's account by clicking on them.
They can choose to view all rooms created by the selected user, or the rooms which the selected user has joined.
Optionally, if the user has violated terms of service, the admins can choose to disable the user's account (logical deletion) or ban the user completely from the system (physical deletion).
Rooms
Similarly to users tab, the rooms tab has an overview of all the rooms created within the mobile application. The admins are able to see which user has created which room, as well as filter through all the (paginated) rooms.
By clicking on a room, the admin is able to view more details about the selected room, such as the room name, whether the room is active (banned or not), how many songs have been added to the playlist, how many guests are currently in the room and when the room was created.
Optionally, if the room has violated terms of service, the admins can choose to disable the room (logical deletion) or completely delete the room from the system (physical deletion).
FAQs
In the FAQs tab, the admins are able to add as many frequently asked questions as they want, as well as edit or delete them.
These frequently added questions are then automatically displayed inside the mobile app so users can read.
Privacy policy
Similarly to the FAQs page, privacy policy can be added, updated or deleted. After being added, it shows up inside the app so users can read.
While updating, the admins are presented with a WYSIWYG visual text editor. The similar thing is being done for terms of service tab.
