DanceOff is an application from the top UK Chocolate company, Cadbury. Most of you will have seen the newest of the Cadbury adverts - the one with the dancing clothes! Well, this iPhone application is very similar to the adverts themselves, however you pick the music!
Initially, you may think "What is the point?" - Well, there's not much point to the application, but think about it - It's a new way to listen to your music! You can queue up tracks to be played one after another, and just listen to your favourite songs, whilst watching the humorous dancing.
In the advert, which is currently running on UK television, I am sure there are more than 2 dancing clothes. In the app, however, there are only 2 clothes you can choose to dance. There should definitely be more choice!
When you select songs, the dancing starts automatically, and dances at an automated tempo determined by the song that's playing. You can override these settings and choose your own tempo, however the app runs a little slowly at that point and makes selecting settings difficult.
Overall DanceOff is an intriguing application which does have its uses - if not only to listen to your music in a new way!
