### 1/5 — Ne marche pas

*2025-10-31*

Impossible de l’utiliser ne marche pas du tout

### 5/5 — Top demais!

*2021-11-04*

excelente aplicativo!

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2021-04-19*

Ne sert absolument à rien  , ridicule

### 4/5 — Decent app.

*2020-04-17*

Decent app. Does suffer from a lack of information. No manual for use. Can be finicky to set up. I had real problems when I upgraded to the pro version. Managed to sort them tho. Had to reset the midi port connections in the mapping.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2020-03-30, version 0.98*

Excellent app! If you don’t have or can’t afford a midi controller, this is a great solution. Installation wasn’t complicated at all, the instructions just need to be updated, that’s it. Anyway. If you want to go further you can pay for the complete controller, but the regular one works just fine. 

Just a little advice to the creator, try not to be rude when other people rates your app, for some people is hard to follow instructions sometimes. Anyway, great work!

### 1/5 — Uso muito restrito.

*2018-08-14*

Funções básicas com EQ ou loop você só consegue acessar pagando. Desta forma fica até difícil testar o real potencial do aplicativo.

### 3/5 — Usb

*2017-03-28*

You need to make this app work via usb ..

### 1/5 — Apesta

*2016-11-23, version 0.96*

Demasiada complejidad para conectar el dispositivo, y en la página web la información no es muy detallada.

### 5/5 — Even in Beta it dominates!!!

*2015-12-01*

Great program for anyone wanting to remotely control Traktor or other modern DJ software over wifi with very low latency.

### 5/5 — Echt genial!

*2015-10-12*
