This would be a six star app, but subscriptions are a bad idea. And you do not offer MIDI learn and Bluetooth MIDI option on the offline option DJ Player EM. These are what set you apart from the rest. I mean geez..... it does everything but video. I actually would prefer this to Djay. Adding my own MIDI devices makes this more versatile than Djay or Traktor. I like it until it asks me subscribe every 20 minutes or so. So mister developers I will change my 2 star rating to a 5 when you: A - Sell us Pro for a flat rate. Then offer the subscriptions in the app. Because I do not rent my music. I buy it. Or B - At least add the Bluetooth MIDI and MIDI learn function to DJ Player EM. So I can buy it. Then give it 5 stars as well.
Was great, now terrible

I've been with Dj Player for a few years and I have to say, their recent update to the interface was a large step backwards. Some would say the user interface is not important, but this change was huge and in my opinion, a bad one that has led to me deleting the app. This latest version features two digital turntables in the center, just like the Edjing and Djay apps, which not only made DJ Player no longer unique from them, but made it less functionable. Nobody scratches on their iPhone or iPad using the screen. Maybe if they have vinyl or midi, but don't waste all that screen space with the vinyls! Have your own flavor DJ Player! On top of this, by adding these, many functions were added into sub-menus that made them more difficult to access when mixing. This is especially an issue if you need to access 2 parameters at the same time on 1 deck that are on different menus because you wouldn't be able to. If they didn't put the huge vinyl displays in the middle, they would have reduced the impact of this. Furthermore, the price has gone UP to use the software. I would have payed it for the old version because I loved it's uniqueness and functionality over the other popular DJ apps. But charging as much as the full version of Traktor or Serato for a limited amount of time on the full version of an app? And one that has gotten worse? Ridiculous. I've gone back to using Edjing after this last update as, unfortunately, my experiences with the app have gone from exciting and positive to annoying, frustrating, and upset. I hope DJ Player changes things because they have potential if they are willing to move away from where every other dj app is going. After all, they do have great midi and DVS support which is an awesome idea. My unedited old review of the previous version I wrote two years ago: I first began using this app completely unaware of how mixing was done. I read the little instruction packet and messed around a little first. There's a lot to see and be scared of but it's not hard to figure out if you are willing to get over the learning curve. It's by far the most professional app on the App Store and months later I still use it and I own my own professional hardware and I still love it for it's simplicity yet ability to work so easily. I mix on the train with it on my commute and it is perfect for these functions. Has almost all of the features my home setup has, and even some I wish my setup has. Do try! If you learn how to use it, the app will be much more accessible than any others on the App Store like djay or edjing.

I was using the older version of this app for a radio show. This is the only app that allows you change variable tempo and pitch separate p to the degree it does.
Amazing app, BUT.....
Super protein meat style cram
I love this app. It's dense with options to do almost anything you want. I love how it can use music straight from the playlist to create new ones. I also like how you can record something and re-record the same recording to make something completely new and insane. My biggest problem is the constant subscription notice and it alters the music. I find this extremely annoying and fustrating. I understand you guys are trying to make money off of this app, but this approach is pushing your customers away.
Good App

I love the DJ snake and Dillion Francis remix of " Get Low" but I can't record it. I want to record it so I can upload songs to YouTube.

This is a one star review because it is what the developer(s) deserve. This app was purchased for $19.99 being represented as a perpetual license. An update was released without warning basically bricking the application for everyone who supported it in the beginning and now attempting to extort a subscription out of said users. While it is unfortunate that the developer(s) lacked the foresight to have a sound and sustainable business model it is not the fault of the customers that have supported the app since the beginning. If negative stars were an option they would have been selected for how this situation was handled. The existing users could have been grandfathered into a perpetual license with new users having the subscription model available. What happened was essentially a bait and switch which is fraud. Another option would have been to release a new pro version with a subscription model and leave the existing users on the original version with the original terms that were in effect when they purchased the app. While this app has had more than 60 updates since the beginning it lacks innovation. Most, if not all, of the UI changes were more of an annoyance to anyone that uses the app on a regular basis. Using the term "pro" is a bit of a misnomer as this app has a number of issues that prevent it from being viable for professional users. One of them being the frequent UI changes that leave you stranded from gig to gig with no way to regress to the previous layout. Another is that it frequently crashes and force quits in the middle of using the app which is a show stopper. This has been across a number of current devices and recent iOS versions. The current subscription model says $89.99 for 60 months but it's buyer beware once they have your money. If they decide a year from now that the price point they chose is not sustainable they may get greedy and try to extort more money out of everyone again. It has already happened as you can see. I look forward to seeing what other iOS developers come up with to replace this app on my devices as we will no longer be supporting it.
