  • The "Most Popular" section was called "Popular Songs" before release.[citation needed]

Textures[]

  • In the files of the app, there are some progression textures which can be found in the "drawable-hdpi-v4" folder. The said textures bear a strong resemblance to the song levels (which gives Mojo Coins and avatars in-game), as there are some images named "progress_current_(1 to 3)/progress_done.png", which can possibly mean that the textures were for an early version of the song level feature.
  • Also, there are some other textures that include "quest" in their filenames. These, of course, are unused as well.

Avatars and Interface[]

Pre-October 2015 version[]

  • While the app was still in Beta, the game was going to use the avatars from Just Dance 2014; however, when the app was officially released, they were replaced with Just Dance 2015’s avatars.
  • In the Beta version of the menu, there was a line of text under the "PLAY" button reading: "View all songs" and tapping on it would bring up the tracklist. However, ever since the official release, the line of text was removed and there is now a pink corner at the top-left corner of the screen showing the amount of songs there are in the game, and a line of text on there reads: "VIEW SONG LIST".
  • In the Beta version of the menu, one of the unknown dancers for Just Dance 2014 (the one with the red, white, and blue spiky jacket) and Starships appeared at the sides of the screen. However, in the first official release, they have been replaced by the coach from You Make Me Feel... and P1 from Turn Up the Love.
  • In the launch trailer, the following graphical differences can be seen:
    • The player’s high score is placed on the left of the menu icon and not on the right (unlike in the first official release).
    • The player’s user name is written in the "Just Dance Regular" font rather than in the "Just Dance Bold" font.
    • The song title and the artist’s name are not displayed.
    • The statistics for each song are shown on three rectangles (a green one and a yellow one above a light blue one).

June 2017 update[]

  • According to the teaser that plays in the menu of the June 2017 update, the menu icons did not have the white border with curved angles that is used in the final version.

August 2020 update[]

  • In the earliest version, which was discovered around April 8, 2020, the following differences could be noticed.
    • The main menu was almost identical to the previous one (except for the colors, which were in shades of blue and purple, and the "TRY FOR FREE!" button, which was in shades of blue and green).
    • The previous fonts were used instead of the new ones.
      • However, the font used for the song titles was slightly different.
    • The QR code had a different border.
    • The icons for the Playlists and Songs menus were separated by a different border.
    • The rectangle that displayed "Connect your smartphone to play!" was entirely purple.
    • Playlists were displayed in rows consisting of three items.
    • Playlist covers had more rounded corners and no overlapped silhouettes behind.
      • Besides, "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme ABBA!" could be seen in spite of it not being featured in the final menu.
    • The yellow button with the backwards arrow was replaced by a grey X with a grey circle.
    • The playlist duration was displayed above the description.
    • Menu icons were displayed in rows consisting of four items, and their borders were more rounded.
    • When a menu icon was selected, the song title and artist’s name were displayed in the "Just Dance Bold" font, and the former was light blue.
      • Moreover, the two strings of code were shown below the preview rather than above.
    • Statistics and the "Dance!" button were entirely fuchsia, without gradients.
  • During the first half of April 2020, the "Fitness" playlist was moved before "Recommended For You", and a new playlist called "SUPER MIX!", which accidentally used the cover for "Extreme", could be seen before "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme ABBA!".

Playlists[]
