Once I plug it out it stops, but once I plug it back in it starts scrolling down again. Verry annoying ### 4/5 — Needs an update *2020-04-13, version 1.3* Like using this just needs a play button ### 1/5 — Sera to remote mini *2019-04-28, version 1.3* This is crap and is Serato made this app shame on them. Do not buy it’s a waste of money no way to play remotely there’s no start and stop ### 1/5 — What the hell Serato. *2018-11-16, version 1.3* The title of the app says"Remote" so where is the stop/start button?. Holding down that queue button don't do Jack for me. I'm not trying to mix with this,, just want to start a queued up song away from the rig. Get on this please. ### 1/5 — Smh!!! *2018-09-29, version 1.3* I spent $4.99 for this?? Smh!! Why is there no play and pause button?? That makes 0 sense.. Also what good is it to be able to go up and down in the crates if you can’t seen what your doing when your away from the rig.. I really wish I would of seen the comments before I spent the money on it.. I would be a lot happier if it just had them two features over all the effects and loops and all that. All is app needs is the Q points a start and stop/pause button and to see your tracks and crates. But it’s been over like 3 years so I don’t see you all doing anything about it.. smh. ### 1/5 — Play button and next track button? *2018-07-28, version 1.3* Purchased this app but was disappointed that I couldn’t switch tracks or press play on the iPhone version of the app. ### 4/5 — Needs a play button *2018-07-22, version 1.3* A play button would be extremely useful and bump this up to 5stars ### 1/5 — Remote app *2018-06-27, version 1.3* Needs play and pause bottom to make app useful. I can only play 10 sec of a song having to hold a button on my phone running for my mixer. ### 4/5 — Play pause button/Artist Song/Title *2018-04-06, version 1.3* Amazing app, just a few flaws can be fixed with an update. A play button will help out when you not close to the set. And also if your just the mc you can see what other track the Dj is going play after so It gives you perspective on what to say to the crowd without being on the stage. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-02-21, version 1.3* ..don’t have much to say. Just doesn’t work ### 4/5 — NEEDS UPDATE SERATO WAKE UP *2017-01-30, version 1.0.1* This is a perfect app add a little 🔥 to your set just wish the access all 8 hot cues and being able to access more effects and saved loops and being able to stop and play tracks their is so much potential in this app so much innovation WAKE UP SERATO great company as well !! ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2016-11-30, version 1.0.1* I wish I could get my money back and I just might look in to it. I thought the whole point of this app was to be portable, maybe avoid dragging my full Ns6 Dj mixer and stand to a friends house and just bring my laptop and a small speaker and have a portable mixer. So I ask what's the point of switching to use my iPhone or iPad while I have a Full mixer with track wheel and touch pads at my fingertips??? This is a useless gadget, very disappointed.. ### 2/5 — Dissappointing!! *2016-10-18, version 1.0.1* There are some fake reviews saying the issues have been resolved. oct 2016 - still cannot stop playing of a track or start playing. All you can do is drag the song to the deck. The biggest disadvantage I am song is, it doesn't show the track name. Then how do you choose which one to play? If you are standing next to the laptop or controller why should I use a remote? The only practical purpose I have seen is, if you are alone and have to go to rest room, you can watch the last track is running and drag the next one or auto play didn't stop etc. Please please add the track name and show the cue names. This need to be a two way remote. Please refund if you can. Thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2023-12-16* I paid the $5 and the app serves absolutely no purpose at all ### 1/5 — We need an update *2022-11-09, version 1.3* This launched 4 years ago with very few features. The idea is super cool but there are some basic functions that cannot be done using this app. Praying Serato redoes this bc it could come in handy with the correct capabilities. As of right now not worth the download. Please please please revisit and update!! ~DJ Quelle ### 1/5 — Serato remote *2021-02-06, version 1.3* Needs a refund on this ### 1/5 — Wasted Money *2020-10-12, version 1.3* Same complaint as everyone else’s. Why no start/stop? Out of all the complaints about the lack of this feature I would like to at least see a response from Serato as to why. Please send my money back ### 1/5 — No PLAY/PAUSE work around *2020-09-07, version 1.3* pretty upset by the inclusion of so many useless features and the lack of the necessities. not needed: fx tab, duplicated 1st cue on Lib and Pad tabs missing: play/pause, track names they could have at least made the Lib 1st cue a latch for play/pause from 1st cue. i’m working a wedding where i want the music to start in reception as we’re leaving the ceremony room. my work around is to set up a 1 bar loop before the first track and hot play. so it is looping silence during the whole ceremony. then when we start to leave the ceremony i use this app to turn the loop off which lets the playlist continue in Autoplay mode. this is worth $5 to me. i doubt it’s work the embarrassment and damage to reputation it’s done to Serato to have released it unfinished and not put the warning in the description but have so many users have to do it. i would not have ever thought that a DJ remote didn’t have Play/Pause. i feel foolish. Serato made me feel foolish. it’s not good business to make your clients feel foolish for trusting you. ### 1/5 — NEEDS IMPROVEMENT *2020-05-12, version 1.3* I’m highly dissatisfied and would appreciate a refund for this useless app ### 1/5 — Wow *2020-01-10, version 1.3* Cmon after spending my hard earned money!!! Why u cant see what you’re playing easy fix! Play button please! Really no pause how is this Remote? And we are very limited sooooo can i have my money back? Or improve it ### 1/5 — It says it’s not working for my version *2020-01-04, version 1.3* ...the latest version of serato DJ pro 👍🏾 Send me my money back. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Still missing essential features *2019-11-01, version 1.3* Needs play & pause buttons. Also needs volume slider to be useful. Basically useless.. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2019-09-24, version 1.3* I was excited to be able to start and stop my DJ station from outside the venue. This app does not accomplish this or anything else. You can’t view your library or crates or anything. I see zero value ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cue and play *2023-08-08* Cue and play will be the best ### 5/5 — Really? Essential items missing *2020-12-10, version 1.3* So to be honest this serves no point. I can’t see or change tracks, there’s no play and stop buttons. At the bare minimum we expect to be able to select a song from our library and play it. That would be worth it. The way it’s set up now is a 100% no. ### 5/5 — Awesome App Needs updates! *2019-12-13, version 1.3* This is a fantastic app and really helps me stop looking at my computer screen while using my original DDJ-SR. This app would be even better if it included waveforms on it as well as if it went full screen on the iPhone X and up! ### 5/5 — Thanks Serato *2019-09-20, version 1.3* 2019 and I’m still using it. Thanks Serato! ### 5/5 — Works great. *2018-07-02, version 1.3* I don’t know why so many of you are complaining about the app not having a play button. This isn’t to replace a controller lll. It’s a pad for samples, loops and cues. If you don’t have a $300 SP1 this app will help you when mixing on mixers such as the DJM 900. It’s not hard people. ### 5/5 — Good compatibility *2017-05-09, version 1.0.1* Works great with my numark controller , well worth the money I would also recommend this same app for the iPad the bigger screen allows much more versatility ### 5/5 — Update the app! *2017-03-24, version 1.0.1* Can you guys update the app to remain compatible with new iOS? Otherwise great app. ### 5/5 — Perfect app to supplement your setup *2015-09-02, version 1.0.1* Well worth $5. I use two turntables and a vestax mixer - I have ZERO bells and whistles. With this app, I got access the cue points, samples, effects and instant doubles works like a champ. It is really responsive when connected via usb. My gripes - I can't access all 8 of the Serato DJ cue points, I can only get to 4. I can't access any saved loops, but the auto loops are there for me so that's not that bad. Also, I wish there was a way to change the default cue point on the library screen... Really tho, all that is minor. The app is SUPER fun to mess with. It's only $5 and since i always have my phone, I get some cool tools at my fingertips. I really like this app. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-08-29, version 1.0.1* For the price of the app is more than good, i use the one on iPad also and both are great. ### 5/5 — Some People are just stupid *2015-03-21, version 1.0.1* If you gave this low stars you either don't understand djing or are stupid I am pretty sure this made to work only with Serato DJ which makes sense. It is not a replacement for Serato it is a supplement. If you want a replacement look at tractor DJ for iPhone that is a good backup but there is no replacement for a controller and device. It is such a great addition to a controller --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
