What's New in Party DJ

1.1

December 17, 2014

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. • You can now set a crossfade between tracks. • The party host can now fully reorder the queue, locking tracks in position if desired. • Set a welcome message shown to guests joining the party. • Connect Party DJ to a TV or other external display for a beautiful display of upcoming tracks. • Support for iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus. • Interface updates & improvements. • A passcode for guests is now set by default the first time you run the app. Party DJ is now free to try, with an in-app purchase to unlock premium features. Users who purchased Party DJ before this version will have premium features permanently unlocked. This means your guests no longer need to download the separate "Remote" app and can now simply download the main Party DJ app.

User reviews

Does not work with iCloud music

The app will not play music saved from iCloud . wish I knew that before paying the $2.99. All your music has to be preloaded on your phone/device. Nothing downloaded from the cloud will play. Don’t waste your money.

Non-existent customer service

Update: Changed to 1 star due to zero customer service. I have been contacting them via their customer service link and they will not respond.

I would pass in this one and go with a different companies app.

*****************

Good app and easy to use. Does what it says.
The 2 main things I would like to see added is:

1. People connecting via the web interface need to be able to upload personal music as well.

2. There seems to be a bug (I have reported it to the developer) in that after purchasing the app when you try to "restore purchases" on a different device it tells you that you haven't purchased it.

I do think its well worth the price especially since it allows others to upload their own music into the mix. I wish though that it would alert the DJ when someone uploads and what the song is they uploaded giving the dj an opportunity to reject the upload. This feature would need to be able to be turned on or off.

Little Problems to improve but great

Downloaded this app, because Apple removed the DJ function, sometime ago. What I don’t like:
- Everytime I have to reenter the password when I’m joining my iPad as “server” to unlock the volume, play/stop etc.. when I go to another app on my iPhone, or after X time
- The WIFI connections should be faster, it takes like 30 seconds to connect to the “server” and show the Welcome Message
- After I’m linked to a “server” it should remember it (point 1)
- Have the option to disable sleep screen
- Better album art or bigger on iPad landscape mode
What I like:
- It brings this great dj function for parties
- To be able to upload songs from the client device
- Control music through web page

Some of the functions above is after paying the In-App Purchase, which for me is a little expensive, it will be great in 1.99

Plagued with crashes

The app itself is a great Idea, would be perfect for parties although you can't use Apple Music with it (I'm guessing this is more an annoying apple restriction than a fault of the app) but the app is unfortunately completely unusable in the latest iteration of iOS as it crashes constantly.

Fix that and you'd be on to a winner, it deserves a higher score than 1 for concept, but it's not much use in its current state.

Needs Apple Music Service support

The songs on my phone from Apple Music (made available offline) get auto-skipped. They might also crash my guests remote client. The purchased tracks work fine.
