Needs Work 😟
It crashes often. There's no way to rearrange song order in playlists. There's no way to manually set the correct key tag for songs. Timestretch quality is not very good. My playlists disappear randomly. There needs to be a way to preview songs directly from a playlist with one touch (seek bar). There needs to be a way to individually name and color hotcues. There needs to be a container window to contain playlists. There needs to be a temporary playlist area for set preparation. Would like to have smart playlist. Would like to make knobs and faders macro controls that control other knobs and faders.

Love this app but....
It’s pretty difficult to navigate. Then it’s impossible to learn how to fix the beat grid if it’s off - how do you rename tracks - set to scratch and back spin (I know it’s stupid and pointless to scratch, but back spinning out of a track has its moments). Setting up more channels is like rocket science to me. But worst of all, there is a huge bug when I play this on my iPad Pro; the volume level keeps jumping up and down for no apparent reason. I have been a DJ since 2001. I love the idea of carrying nothing but head phones and an iPad. However, I can’t even seem to figure out how to delete cue points or set the master levels on isolated tracks. Updates sound GREAT! Thanks.

Amazing customisable DJ / music player App!!!
Only been messing around for a few days - but pretty blown away so far. I guess the real test will be the on-the-road tour test coming up this month. Question to the developer - Any chance for adding more than 16 cue points I wonder?
4 star
Decent app need to fix crashes
Missing some functionality
Settings don’t seem to save, playlists always hidden despite showing playlists enabled.... lots of crashes constantly making it unusable for performances. Sometimes need to analyze tracks twice.
I like the interface and it’s designed really well but there’s some back end issues that need to be fixed. I would love to revisit this app in the future because it’s really cool despite the flaws.

Great Idea that Struggles with Execution
Started using it and seemed really intuitive and powerful, but there were a couple bugs that need to be ironed out.
I really love how many tracks you can have going as well as the IAA/AUV3 integration! Building your own interfaces is remarkably user-friendly. But then I tried opening the presets and it shut down. I then tried to change the effects layout and the app shut down. I tried this several times, even closing all of my apps and still had this problem. It would also be great to be able to edit track information from the load page, but it seemed like you had really in-depth track details that you could change, like bpm and start/cue points.
Love the video tutorials, keep it up!

Unusable
I’ve tried with several of my tracks to use this app but it always crashes. Big culprits seem to be playing with the library while a track is playing. I’ll hit “Key” to organize them by key while a track is loaded in the first deck and the app just closes. Please fix, this app looks like it has so much potential!

Most flexible iOS DJ app! But buggy :/
Soda is easily the most flexible iOS DJ app. What it does well:
* Cue, jump, loop, and auto loop points
* Ableton link, Audiobus, IAA, and AU support
* Customizable UI (stacked waveforms, multitrack layout)
* Easy MIDI Learn for controllers
However it still needs polish:
* Turntable MIDI mapping is broken w/ reloop beatpad 2 and mixon 4 — can’t scratch!
* Mic feedback loop with external speakers (IAA bug?)
* FX support is buggy (audio often dropped or misrouted, esp with AU plugins)
* FX UI is clunky — can’t switch between >2 effects/AUs?
* Multiple FX on/off and dry/wet controls that don’t agree?
* Global BPM should sync to most recent synced track BPM, or have a sync-to-track control. (Like Ableton Link, most recent BPM sync should take over.)
* Waveform zoom doesn’t sync to global bpm — can’t eye match multiple tracks
* Pitch bend changes bpm/playback speed — it shouldn’t
If these issues are fixed, we finally will have something that can beat djay pro! Multi app integration is key!
Eagerly awaiting more updates! Will update this review!

Decent app so far
My rating keeps going up, as the devs are being responsive to the issues brought up. Keep up the good work!
I own d(- - )b and got charged when purchased the DJ Legacy Bundle...
I got the legacy bundle owning d(- - )b and got charged 9.99 dllrs.... supposedly it was free for me, no option of completing the bundle, I always saw the price wich seemed strange, but thought at the end I wouldn’t be charged, saw bank statement and I was..
