PulseKJ Guest connects a singer to a karaoke show run with PulseKJ for Mac. Select the venue and enter its active PIN to browse the host's songbook.
At a karaoke event, the uncertain part is often the process around the song: whether it is available, whether a request reached the host and when the singer is likely to be called. PulseKJ Guest is designed for that specific coordination role. It connects to shows run through the compatible host software, rather than providing a universal collection of backing tracks that can be used independently anywhere.

What it does
The listing describes title and artist search, requests for yourself or a duet, notes for the host and queue notifications. It can remember songs at a venue.
The listing describes choosing the venue and entering its active PIN. That establishes a relationship with a particular running show. A code from one event should not be assumed to work later or at a different venue. Confirm that the host is using the supported system before expecting the guest app to contain the relevant songbook.
Search by title or artist and browsing categories help find a request. The source also describes favourites and remembering songs at a venue. Those can make a return visit more convenient, but the actual catalogue still belongs to the host's setup. A title absent from the list may be a question for the host, not something the guest app can supply on its own.
Requests can be for the user, a duet or a friend, with a note for the karaoke host. A clear note can explain a practical need, but it is still a request rather than a guaranteed arrangement. The listing also describes asking for an unavailable song to join a wish list. Do not confuse that future possibility with confirmation that the song is ready for the current show.
Before you install
This is a companion to a compatible live show, not a standalone karaoke catalogue. Song availability and timing depend on the host and venue.
The queue and notifications are useful only in the context of the running event. A displayed position or wait estimate may change when the host manages the show. Keep listening for actual announcements and respect the venue's process rather than treating a phone display as an unconditional promise about timing. We have not tested updates, estimates or notification delivery.
A request made for somebody else also involves that person. Make sure a friend wants the song or duet before entering it, and consider what a note reveals to the host. The app is a convenient communication channel, not a substitute for agreeing the request. Check how the venue identifies singers so a familiar name is not confused with another participant.
For a duet, decide who is singing and what information the host needs before entering a note. A short, specific request is easier to interpret than an ambiguous message. Keep favourites as a personal reminder rather than assuming a song will remain available in every venue's collection. The developer describes recognising a returning visitor at a venue, but we have not audited how that history is retained or displayed. Check the current privacy information before treating the application as an anonymous record of event participation. The documented no-account joining flow does not by itself answer every retention question.
Price and access
The US download is free. A compatible hosted show is required for live use.
The US store entry offers a free download and describes joining without an account. A compatible event is nevertheless required for the live workflow. Any venue entry, performance arrangement or other event cost is separate from the app installation. The source describes a demo mode with a sample songbook, which is a useful way to inspect the interface without joining a real show. We have not tested the demo or the live setup.
Our take
The useful job is reducing uncertainty about requests and your place in line. We have not tested queue updates or notification delivery.
PulseKJ Guest has a clear companion-tool purpose: connect a singer's request to a compatible host and make the queue easier to follow. The useful result is less uncertainty during that event, not a larger standalone karaoke library on the phone.
We have not used it at a show. Begin by confirming compatibility with the venue and, if useful, explore the documented demo first. Inspect the request before sending it and treat notifications as assistance alongside the host's actual instructions. If the show is not running with PulseKJ for Mac, the guest app's free availability does not establish an alternative route into that venue's catalogue.
If an expected song is missing, ask the host whether the venue has it rather than assuming a search result proves a smaller catalogue. Titles, artist names and versions can differ. A duet request also needs the correct participants and arrangement. The host remains the person who confirms what can actually be performed.
