Our Expert Score

78/100

The Just Dance 2016-22 Controller app is a clever solution for anyone who wants to play the hit franchise without investing in expensive hardware like Kinects or Move controllers. It essentially turns your smartphone into a motion-tracking device. The setup is remarkably simple: you just need to be on the same Wi-Fi network as your console. Once synced, the app tracks the movement of your right hand with surprising accuracy, mimicking the scoring system of the console versions.

The app also doubles as a menu navigator, allowing you to select songs and manage your Just Dance profile directly from your phone. While it lacks the full-body tracking accuracy of a camera-based system, for a free app that enables up to 6-player local multiplayer, it’s an essential tool for any party. It's responsive, easy to use, and effectively lowers the barrier to entry for the world's most popular dance game.
