Silly since you need another controller to make it work

You can’t simply use this app with your laptop + Serato. You need a serato compatible device aka a controller or a mixer Serato certified. If you have that, why in the world would you use an iPad? To do a worse job at DJING?

Please update

So I have all the Serato dj products and have been doing with Serato since 2007. I would love to see the ability to prepare my sets without a controller and have my crates. The second is update the app to support iPad pros full screen. Right now it looks like I’m on the 9.7 vs the 11

Updates needed

My serato doesn’t recognize my device anymore...due to iOS update and the Latest update of serato 2020 doesn’t communicate anymore please update it’s been 2 years

Not worth Buying

You don't have full control. All you can do is control the effects and hit your cue points. It's not really worth it. I thought this would be fun to take to house parties... Short answer its not!
