Just Dance 2023 Controller for iPhone

Turn your phone into a Just Dance controller

Just Dance 2023 Controller is a free companion app that lets up to six players use their smartphones as controllers for Just Dance 2023. This removes the need to buy extra game controllers — everyone can join in with only a phone and the game console.

Setting up the app and pairing with the game

To connect your phone to the game:

1. Open Just Dance 2023 on your console and choose the option to add a controller.
2. Launch the companion app on your phone and enter the pairing code shown on the console.
3. Wait for the app to register the connection before starting a song.

Note: Even when both devices are on the same Wi‑Fi network, pairing may sometimes fail. If that happens, try restarting the app, reconnecting to the network, or rebooting the console.

How the app tracks movement

After a successful pairing, hold your phone while dancing and the app will monitor your motions to score your performance. Be aware that some players may feel uneasy dancing with a device in hand because of the risk of dropping or accidentally throwing the phone.

Compatibility and limitations

• Requires iOS 13 or later; older iPhones are not supported.
• Works with up to six smartphones simultaneously.
• No extra hardware is necessary beyond a phone and the game console.
