Just Dance Now

Just Dance Now is a mobile app developed and released by Ubisoft and is part of the Just Dance franchise. It is the second such app to be released after AutoDance. The app was officially released on September 25, 2014 for all regions.

How It Works
Download the app for free (Just Dance Now) and have a connectable screen like a TV or desktop that connects to the internet. Use your screen and go to justdancenow.com and connect to your device or account. Then using your phone, connect to a song server or a server with amounts of people. It does not require a gaming system or fees. Use your phone as a remote and dance away. Track your score by looking at the screen.

On a 4th Generation Apple TV, download the app from the Apple TV App Store. You can use the Apple TV Siri-Remote, or a smartphone.

Before the version 1.3.4 update, players from different countries could not join in the same dance room, however players from the same country could join in the same dance room, regardless of whether or not they live in the same state, province, or otherwise.

Challenge Mode
Much like Just Dance 2015, the Challenge Mode, which allows players to pit their highscores against each other, this featured was added on April 14, 2015.

Song levels
In the October 22, 2015 update, song levels have been added into the game. You have to dance to a song to gain XP and level up the song, unlocking new avatars and earning coins to buy new songs. To buy a new song, you will need 150 coins. You can also purchase coins from the shop.

Below are the rewards for each level on every song.

Level 1: 20 coins

Level 2: Avatar representing the song

Level 3: 40 coins

Level 4: Golden avatar representing the song

Level 5: 90 coins

Level 6: Diamond avatar representing the song

Dance with players from all over the world
Why dance alone when you can dance with friends, family or other Just Dance Now players from around the world?

Trivia

 * Up to 20,000 people can dance on a server at once, but Ubisoft states that an unlimited amount of people can join in.
 * This is the second mobile app which Ubisoft has created as part of the Just Dance franchise, after AutoDance. It is followed by the Just Dance 2015 Motion Controller app (now called Just Dance Controller).
 * Wake Me Up was used in all the trailers for the launch. However, the song was released after a week of the game's release.
 * Happy is the second song in the history of appearing in Just Dance Now before launch and the first song that is not a DLC. It was preceded by Movement is Happiness (Find Your Thing) and is followed by Blame.
 * Like in Just Dance 2015, difficulties are not present.
 * If you have an ad blocker plugin activated in your browser, you won't be able to play any song from the "free songs" section.
 * When the screen is chosen as the controller, the avatar of Somethin' Stupid (P2) can be seen on the phone who isn't the controller.
 * Some HD remakes (such as E.T., D.A.N.C.E., Firework, Idealistic, Girlfriend and Hey Ya) were first seen in showreels uploaded on Vimeo between 2012 and 2013, so the game was most likely intended to be created before.
