Review summary

Brush DJ is praised for making brushing engaging and motivating, especially for kids and teens, and for the ability to play your own music and receive reminders. Reviewers also cite its suitability for families, teachers, and dental patients as a helpful motivational tool. However, recurring concerns include unreliable music integration (Spotify/Apple Music), permissions and crashes, plus several UI stability issues (playlist load problems, back button issues). Users also request more features (restart option, longer sessions, quadrant brushing) and note occasional iOS-related playback cutoffs. Overall, it works well when stable but reliability varies.

Pros

Makes brushing fun and helps users reach a two-minute routine.
Allows playing own music or playlists during brushing, adding a personal touch.
Reminders help establish routines and support motivation for brushing.
Simple, kid-friendly interface that’s easy to use.
Useful for parents, teachers, and dental patients as a motivational tool.

Cons

Music integration is unreliable; Spotify/Apple Music often won’t load or play, and permissions can block access.
Frequent UI and stability bugs (playlist loading issues, back button stops working, occasional crashes).
Reminders/alerts sometimes don’t trigger or work.
Requests for more features like a restart button, longer sessions, and more granular brushing zones.
App performance issues on some iOS versions (e.g., 30-second cutoffs) or crashes when using music features.

2024-04-17	Ma*****	I have issues playing my own music. I can only play the app’s music which I don’t want to do, or not why I downloaded it. Until this issue is resolved, I’m going to give it 2 Stars. Update: I figured out how to get the music to work. I didn’t confirm the permissions to allow it to play. I wish there was another option or way to play music from a different app besides within the operating system in the phone. Until there’s more options added, I’ll now rate it to 4 stars.

2024-04-12	sl*****	i wish there was a restart button- unless i’m missing it. sometimes if we want to change songs and it was already playing it counts that even if we weren’t actively brushing our teeth

2023-09-02	ta*****	I either spent too much time brushing or not enough, this app helps me keep my actual tooth brushing seshs to at least 2 minutes in a fun way rather than just using a timer.

2023-04-23	Mi*****	Whenever I try to load one of my playlists from the menu, the app keeps sliding the list up and the back button no longer functions, requiring me to completely exit the app to try again.

2023-04-22	Mi*****	My daughter loves this just wish I could make it longer, she does well but it takes a bit to get her started and she wants the music playing while she’s preparing. So we usually have to do it twice but she fully stops to start it and has to take a few to get back in the groove. Otherwise I’d give it 5 stars.
