soda dj app User Reviews

Is this abandonware?

Support on the developer website is lacking and fixing bugs, does that still happen?

The app does not play tracks in OS 16, so will this be fixed? Who knows.

I sure hope the developers get back into this app because when it works it is the best DJ app out there.

Good app but

What I think is soda dj should be an auv3 plugin

I kinda downloaded this because I thought it was

an auv3 plugin but it support auv3 plugin effects

thereโ€™s no auv3 plugin effect that has dj interface

soda dj would be a great candidate for an app like

Nice Dj App!

Update 7/26/21:
The App Developer contacted me to help fix the issues that I was having. It took just under two months to get this app working on my iPhone 7 plus. This is a great app for DJ's. What truly stand out is that you can create your own DJ LAYOUTS. I've spent many hours creating my own U.I. Layouts. There's nothing else out there like it. There is a learning curve at first but luckily they have a YouTube tutorial. So don't rush it just watch the video, it helps a lot. If you're searching for a good DJ APP, give this a try.

Update 4/19/21:
Still crashing every 20sec, unusable.

Update 2/9/21:
The app crashes every 20sec. I'm thinking it might have to do something with the music folder scanning the songs. I'm using an IPhone 7plus iOS 10.3.1

Response from developer

Hey WalkingSolo - could you do us a big favour and send over your crash reports? Here is a guide on how to get & send them : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/diagnosing_issues_using_crash_reports_and_device_logs/acquiring_crash_reports_and_diagnostic_logs that would help us a lot to figure out this crash - we could not reproduce it in our tests unfortunately! Thank you, Chris

Some local file doesnโ€™t play

Some music in FILES doesnโ€™t play

Great to mix with but recording function needs fixed.

Great to mix with but the app recently started to cut off recordings when you are recording a mix. Fix this and it is better than any other DJ app in the App Store.

**** the app is not working in iOS14 with a 2019 12.9โ€ iPad Pro ****

Dont abandon...

This is a great Dj app! A few minor updates and it's back in business! You make some of the most innovative apps in ios music to date.

Response from developer

Hey Walksky, finally got around to update soda last week - it's now compatible with iOS 14 and received tons of fixes and changes that accumulated over the past .. years.. using it, but that never saw the light of the app store just yet :) let me know if there's anything you'd like to see - both, fixed or added! Cheers, Chris

In desperate need of an update.

The app in its current state does not even open if you have larger amount of music and playlists on your device, it just stays on the loading screen permanently (iOS 14.1 - both on iPhone 11 Pro Max and 2020 iPad Pro).

When it does VERY occasionally open the screen is not optimised correctly and part of it gets obstructed by camera bezel on iPhone and has black borders on iPad.

Please make it work on new devices as it seems like a good piece of software, would be a shame if it became abandoned.

Want to give it 5 stars if they could do an update.

Pros: One off payment no subscribe (major plus), versatile, able to edit a setup you feel comfortable with unlike most other DJ app, pretty tight syncing, midi mapping easy, Audiobus compatible (but only Audiobus 2, freezes in AB3).

Cons: Uses an excessive about of battery power (major negative) to the point you can feel your iPad heating up, not the most user friendly UI (but you can edit that), no genre selection in in library, time stretched tracks can sound a bit weird.

Conclusion: It's a good app with a lot of potential if they could do major update. Could be up there with djay, DJ Player Pro, better than Traktor app.

Inter app audio not working

I would love and use this app if I could get iaa to work in AUM or similar... it would trounce Traktor iOS if so. Maybe fix?

Frustrating to use.

I bought Soda because it has MIDI mapping included -- most iOS mixing software (all else?) don't have this feature. The problem is, while it can learn what CC is with what control, editing the control properties ... leads the application to very reliably crash.

EG: I created a 4-Deck view. I then turned on MIDI map... and then selected a fader in the UI, and a fader on the controller. Association? Yup. Behaviour? Wrong; broken! Instead of fading, the slider would just jump between 0 and 100 -- only.

I went through the range and other options, until I reached the "Control Type" (which defaults to continuous) -- selecting that is faster than the home button, to go back to the home screen.

That's incredibly disappointing. I bought this so I could have MIDI mapping, and this does not have working MIDI mapping. I should've not bought this app, and instead put that money towards a Traktor Kontrol Z2, which works perfectly fine with Traktor on my iPad.
