Make Music Safe for Everyone with musicBleeper
My two-year-old loves to talk and sing. Honestly, she has a pretty impressive vocabulary and can remember just about anything. We have to be really careful what we say around her because she repeats everything! She also has a deep love for music and dancing. While she enjoys her Disney soundtracks and kids music, she really loves todays hits from the radio. She knows a lot of the words to Pharell’s Happy, Katy Perry’s Roar, and My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark by Fallout Boy. When driving in the car I constantly hear, “Turn it up, it’s my song!” And I can see her dance moves in my rearview mirror.
If you were to ask her this second what song she wanted she would instantly reply, “The Shake It one!” She has loved Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off since the first time she heard it, and it is requested a lot around this house! Taylor Swift is pretty “safe” when it comes to lyrics and I really didn’t think twice about letting her jam out to it all the time. It is pretty cute.
So, we are cruising through the packed grocery store the other day and she is singing quietly, and then all of the sudden she yells, “to the fella over there with the H3LLA good hair…” I froze. What!? Not the kind of language I let my children use, but she doesn’t even have a clue what that word means! I started re-thinking my kid’s music listening habits.
I received compensation for this post, all opinions are my own.
The thing is, radio edits are made on explicit lyrics, but what about those lyrics you don’t personally approve of, even though our country’s music standards do? Enter musicBleeper. musicBleeper is an app that will scan through all the music on your device and edit out the words you find inappropriate. If song you have is not in their database, it will add it! What a lifesaver. The musicBleeper app includes 91 different words PG-13, R and Religious categories that can be eliminated based on children鈥檚 ages, religious affiliations, personal morals or family values. 
musicBleeper will automatically remove all unsafe words from your music, but you can go in and manage specifically what you would like removed or left in your songs. Your settings are password protected making sure no one can change them but you. I am absolutely amazed by this technology and the ease with which you can use it! I think every parent has music they can or can’t listen to around their kids, and this app totally eliminates the need for that! If I had had this app two weeks ago, I could have avoided a very embarrassing situation with my little lady!
I sent my contact info yesterday morning. Thank you so much!
I don’t really listen to anything that has offensive language. It’s a great concept, but doesn’t fit into my life.
I downloaded it but don’t think I will use it. If I still had kids at home I would.
I would use the app I get a feeling of uneasiness when my grandsons and I are listening to the radio and bad words come out I would love to have the ability to bleep them
Yes because I would like to monitor things.
my grandson would sooooooooooo love this
its important to guard our ears!
I would use this app because my nieces frequently use my gadgets and I would love to control what they are hearing.
I will be using this app when my granddaughter has my phone, she loves to listen to music.
I was interested in this and I started to download but encountered problems, my screen froze- I ended up cancelling the download – sorry!

YES! I will be using this app a lot. I have a 14-year-old foster daughter that enjoys some music with bad language but it isn’t terrible music. I also have a 7-month-old that gets happy when she listens to some inappropriate songs because of the language. Now she can listen to “All About the Bass” without the bad words. This is a win for me because sometimes it is the only way to calm her down when she is fussy! Kidz Bop just doesn’t translate well, so this is a clever app.
Being a parent of 5 kids who use my phone to listen to music I would definitely keep this app.
Yes I would use this app- I really dont care for filthy lyrics for kids or even for myself. I did download this it is under a different account (email addy) If I am luck enough to win, I can give you my apple addy. Thanks for the chance!
I would not use it. I don’t have any children that listen to music on my phone.
This is such a great idea and perfect for parents with younger ones. I would have definitely snatched this up a couple years back. I’m sharing with my friend who has 7 little ones 馃槈
Yes I would use it but not because of my sons they are grown , because when I’m at church’s events or helping out at the food pantry.
I would use this so I can listen to music with my niece.
I would use it because my grandkids listen and mess with our devices a lot.
I think it’s a great idea, it’s too hard to monitor everything kids listen to these days.
Love this idea – catchy songs but some terrible language out there.
I already have this one my phone and use it on occasion when my kids want to take my phone and play my music, it comes in handy with my kids.
I would definitely use it. It looks like a good app.
i would like it if my daughter would use it to make sure her songs are always appropriate for her to listen to
I would use it judiciously to bleep out offensive terms or slurs in some songs for sure.
I have downloaded the app and have played around a little with it. I like it so far!
Yes yes yes I love this awesome
Yes yes yes I love this awesome
I’m not sure yet but I downloaded it.
Wow, that is such an awesome app! I love that it bleeps out those words for you! It seems like half the time even on the radio they are not properly beeped out. 馃檨 I am looking into this app now!
I like it and I will use it. The rap my son plays is out of control.
I think this is a great app. great for parents
This is an awesome idea!
This is so cool, I love that it takes out the bad words, so family friendly!
This is a great app for people who don’t let their kids listen to wholesome music I suppose? I only allow K-Love so no worries there.
I always bought Kidz Bop because of that, but this is a great alternative. I need to look into this.
What a great app! I could definitely see how this would be useful for our family with all the little ears in the car with us. 馃檪
So awesome! I will definitely have to get this! Thanks for sharing!!!
Darn, they don’t have an android version! Still, this is a fantastic idea! I’m quite frankly appalled at some of the things I hear on the radio. Yikes!
Yes because it sounds helpful
This is a great product. I have two teens and I am always shocked at lyrics in today’s music.
So cute! Love her face, priceless! My little ones would enjoy this!
That is a great thing to have. I will definitely be downloading this and adding some of my music back to my phone.
Love her dancing!! This app is so awesome!! I hate hearing swear words in my favorite songs. I have a few I specifically turn the radio way down and then back up again after the certain part. It’s very frustrating!!
What a cool product. Genius!
This is such a great idea! There are so many good songs but I wouldn’t want kids to hear the language. Being able to get rid of them without losing the whole song is so neat!
Wow, this is great! My 16 month old daughter is learning new words all the time, and I am so afraid that she’s going to say something bad that she heard somewhere. We do listen to a lot of music together, and it’s not always easy to distract her from the bad words in songs.
That has to be the coolest thing ever… I am totally looking into this because I have three little ones who love to dance to hip music, yet I don’t want them to hear some of the words
I’ve got to get this. My daughter loves music, but some of her favorite songs just make me cringe.
Well, this is definitely awesome. The little ones don’t need to hear half of what comes on the radio these days.
Wow! I had no idea there was a word bleep app–that is SO cool! Man, I love technology!
