BraPP: Five Seconds. Name the Song.
BraPP is a five-second song guesser for iPhone. Every song starts at 1,000 points and drains while it plays. Here's the trailer, the rules, and where to get it.
BraPP is on the App Store, and it's free. It's a song-guessing game called BRAP that fits in the gap between two other things you were doing: five songs, five seconds of each, and a number that drains while you listen.
How a game goes
Pick a theme. It can be an artist, a decade, a genre, or anything you can type. Five songs get dealt.
Each song starts at 1,000 points and drops 100 a second while it plays. Press play, listen, and the moment you start typing the song stops and the points stop with it. Name it and you bank whatever is left.
Not sure? Press play again and hear more. The number keeps dropping, so every extra second is a decision. A wrong guess costs 100, and three wrong guesses means the song is gone. If you can't get the title but you know who it's by, name the artist for half.
Type it, or say it
Turn on voice and the microphone does the work: say "stop" to stop the song, then say the title. It's the closest a phone gets to shouting the answer across a room.
It's more fun against someone
Finish a game and you can send the exact same five songs to a friend by email or a link. Neither of you needs an account. You'll hear about it when they beat you.
Then there's the board: everyone, every game, sortable by total points, best game, best song, average guess time, or song records held. Be the fastest person to name a song and your name sits on it until somebody quicker comes along.
Badges and the ladder
There's a medallion for every theme you finish, which turns gold once you've named all five songs on it. On top of those sit Clean Sweep, Speed Demon, Fastest Ears, Giant Killer and a few more. Tap any badge to see what it takes.
Points also move you up a ladder that runs from Rookie to Rock Star and beyond. The higher you climb, the deeper the cuts you get dealt.
Get it
BraPP on the App Store. Free, iPhone, iOS 17 or later. Song previews, titles and artwork come from Apple's iTunes Search API, and every song links out to Apple Music.
