### 3/5 — Mediocre for what I thought

*2026-07-25, version 2.4.1*

I was trying to put songs in and found out to put a song that was not demo I had to buy it

### 4/5 — SoundCloud button broken

*2026-02-20, version 2.4.1*

I love this app but the link SoundCloud button has been broken for years… it doesn’t do anything when you press it

### 3/5 — Can u add more songs and add pluggnb and vocaloid

*2025-12-16, version 2.4.1*

Ok I like the app I can dj add songs to a disc but the problem is there’s only 16 discs that ain’t enough so I insist u to add more packs pls its not enough for the app
If u don’t know what Pluggnb and vocaloid is lemme tell u
Pluggnb is urban music that has 808 bass lines and drums and there is so much types of vocaloid like Japanese Vocaloid 
So I insist u to add more songs and features

### 2/5 — Les stems svp

*2025-11-17, version 2.4.1*

Bonjour, j’ai acheté un iPad Pro et un controleur s2 et une enceinte bose pour mixer sans électricité. 

Ce serait bien de pouvoir l’utiliser avec d’autres contrôleurs 

Rajoutez les stems svp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


De plus, se balader dans la bibliothèque n’est pas pratique : j’ai répertoire, sous répertoire et listes de lectures. Dans traktor tout apparaît en vrac sans classement.

### 3/5 — non compatibile traktor s4 mk3 e con ipados

*2025-10-26, version 2.4.1*

non ha un login all'account non supporta traktor s4 mk3 (sapete che esistono gli adattatori usb?) e non ha steam generation e non funziona su ipados ormai inutilizzabile

### 3/5 — It needs to work with locally saved mp3 files

*2025-10-11, version 2.4.1*

It only recognises a limited selection of music sources e.g. SoundCloud and iTunes. It doesn’t work with mp3 files stored in other folders on the iPad or in iCloud. This makes it almost useless, which is a shame as it seems excellent with the sample files

### 4/5 — I can’t export my music I made

*2025-09-16, version 2.4.1*

I can’t even put my music I made on my other apps and it’s not cool can u add an update that allows u to access ur music that ppl made pls plus ur dippy soundtrack sounds good this time can u add jazz and make it New Orleans and Naples style pls

### 2/5 — App

*2025-09-05, version 2.4.1*

Die App braucht noch einen Bereich wo man die Dateien importieren kann weil es sind wenig Möglichkeiten und muss allgemein aktualisiert werden

### 2/5 — No se puede tocar.

*2025-09-05, version 2.4.1*

Hace pocos meses aún podía mezclar con o sin control s2, hasta grabe varios sets sin ningún problema, pero de pronto en julio fue imposible usarlo ya que al cargar una pista y correrla el espectro corre lento, el touch se bloquea por varios segundos, pensaba que mi control estaba fallando hasta que vi que era la app, no he podido resolver ese problema, pensé que podía ser que la biblioteca estaba mas cargada de pistas de lo que normalmente tengo, aunque tengo la mitad de gb disponibles en iPad y eliminando apps y pistas, aun sigue con ese horroroso problema. Alguien ha podido solucionar?

### 3/5 — link with spotify

*2025-07-11, version 2.4.1*

love the app but its a bummer you cant link it to spotify and as someone who does not pay for itunes or soundcloud your left with the options the app gives you which aren’t a lot

### 1/5 — Playlists können nicht erstellt werden

*2025-05-31, version 2.4.1*

Die App bietet eine ganze Reihe nützlicher und notwendiger Basisfunktionen, das Design ist gelungen (GUI iübersichtlich und intuitiv), aber es lassen sich keine Playlists erstellen. Damit ist die App praktisch nicht verwendbar.

### 3/5 — Ist cool

*2025-05-29, version 2.4.1*

Playlist In Appel Musik funktioniert nicht alle nur ein paar ganz alte Lieder und eigentlich auch nicht die Lieder die ich hören will

### 1/5 — Nicht mehr nutzbar

*2025-05-18, version 2.4.1*

Habe mir extra einen Traktor Controller gekauft, mit Integrierten iPad Anschluss um diesen zu nutzen. Ungefähr ein Jahr funktionierte alles Eigentlich ziemlich gut, Jetzt kann ich leider die App nicht mehr nutzen, da sie ständig einfriert und das macht kein Spaß so.

### 3/5 — Cannot load local music

*2025-05-11, version 2.4.1*

itunes is outdated so it cannot load my music files

### 1/5 — No local file support

*2025-04-25, version 2.4.1*

Title says it all, no local file support… why not? I don’t use iTunes or have SoundCloud premium… so this app is useless

### 2/5 — Mejorar

*2025-04-07, version 2.4.1*

Sería genial si se pudiera cargar la música desde un disco externo.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-07-30, version 2.4.1*

Native instruments stopped supporting this app years ago and subsequent IOS updates have meant it no longer works at all on newer iPads. Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — 😝😝😝

*2026-05-03, version 2.4.1*

I can’t do anything

### 1/5 — Da fuq

*2026-02-23, version 2.4.1*

Call me naive but when you spend money on a iPad and a Traktor unit and all the money on hundreds of tunes you do expect the things to work. Pi55 takers the lot of thee, tech grifters at best.

### 1/5 — Why wasn’t there an option for our music to import 🧐

*2026-01-18, version 2.4.1*

Man, who created this app? People have to struggle. Where is the import for our files to use our very own music,

### 1/5 — Can u LISTEN TO OUR IDEAS

*2026-01-04, version 2.4.1*

So I INSIST U TO LISTEN TO US

### 1/5 — Request

*2025-09-06, version 2.4.1*

I will like to see vertical wave in order to consider good app

### 1/5 — Horreur

*2025-08-17, version 2.4.1*

Fidèle utilisateur de Traktor depuis des années, la première version version fonctionner vraiment bien avec mon iPad seul, je possède la s4 mk3. Je me suis laisser séduire par la s2 mk3 pour mixer avec mon iPad et la déception total’ la version plante directe, même sans connecter la s2 sur l’iPad , bref séduisant sur le papier , horreur dans la pratique. Je pense que native est dépasser dans le secteur dj avec Traktor . Ils sont entrain train de creuser leur tombe, dommage car ça un très bon logiciel mais désormais à la traîne. Pour ma part je me suis dirigé sur la denon prime 4+ excellente platine rapport qualité prix et si vous avez pas le budget la sc live 4 est top aussi et plus compact pour le transport ce n’est pas négligeable….

### 1/5 — Missing compatibility with streaming

*2025-06-26, version 2.4.1*

It’s sad to see native instruments not keepingup with streaming services.

### 1/5 — Fatal

*2025-06-19, version 2.4.1*

Es una aplicación que siempre funciona bien. De unos días hacia aquí se atasca al cargar y reproducir una canción. 
Solución al problema por favor

### 1/5 — Leider kein Ersatz für Apple Music

*2025-06-07, version 2.4.1*

Da Apple Music mich zwingen will die schon installierte Musik zu löschen um neues aufzuspielen, dachte ich, ich lade über Dateien Musik in die App. Ja ich kann das tun, die werden mir im Finder auch angezeigt, sind auf dem iPad in der Traktor app, aber Traktor zeigt sie nicht an. Apple Music ist nicht in der Lage ohne sync Musik zu laden und Traktor besteht darauf nur die synchronisierte Musik und die Demos zu verwenden???

### 5/5 — Really good

*2026-03-13, version 2.4.1*

Traktor  dj is super good!

### 5/5 — Need new functions

*2025-09-18, version 2.4.1*

Please add the ability to sort tracks by date added. This is a much-needed feature. An option to recommend tracks within a specific playlist, rather than across your entire music collection, is also greatly needed.

### 5/5 — Traktor dj

*2025-08-31, version 2.4.1*

Неплохое приложение . Субъективно предыдущее traktor dj было лучше и удобнее. Но у этого тоже есть свои плюсы. Можно кнопкой менять размер Лупа, Cue , и ещё пару приколов. Я для вечеринок использую старую версию + traktor z1.  Вместе работает просто великолепно. Плохо что разработчики перестали поддерживать старую версию . Но новая тоже работает с z1 без проблем. Музыку загружаю свою через iTunes в медиатеку iPad  . Программа сама пересчитывает bpm и тд. Обьединить бы их вместе — БЫЛО БЫ ЛУЧШЕЕ ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ ДЛЯ РАБОТЫ.  Тактильные ощущения супер. Ещё бы довели бы до ума z1. Там не хватает кнопок регулировки лупов, cue и тд. А в идеале хотелось бы третью дорожку и возможности самому забивать сэмплы и делать их из лупов на ходу. В любом случае для мобильного сэтапа и поездок по миру и островам iPad mini + traktor z1 + traktor Dj - это лучший комплект все вместе занимает мало места весит меньше 1 кг. Пришёл в любой бич клаб воткнулся в колонку и играй . А в перелёте можно прямо на iPad писать миксы без контроллера. Нужно только разделитель докупить у трактора для наушников, что бы предпрослушка работала 
Короче рекомендую однозначно и спасибо разработчикам !

### 5/5 — Работает на мак

*2025-07-27, version 2.4.1*

Вроде даже бесплатно

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-01-21, version 2.4.1*

Excelente aplicación, poco más se puede pedir, especialmente siendo gratuita. La única mejora que sugeriría sería incluir un indicador de batería, para evitar que se apague inesperadamente en medio de un gig por falta de carga.

### 5/5 — Pro grade DJ app that doesn’t feel like a toy nor is overburdened with features

*2024-12-08, version 2.4.1*

I absolutely love DJing with this app. i’ve been playing clubs and festivals with it since version one. simplicity is its strength. the suggestion engine is great. can’t wait for the devs to wake up and realize they have a great thing here and update it. i’d pay a subscription if that’s what it takes.

### 5/5 — Pro grade DJ app that doesn’t feel like a toy.

*2024-09-25*

I absolutely love DJing with this app. I just wish the devs would come back. NI has mismanaged their products and created a death spiral. I will not use Djay because it is embarrassing with it’s stupid skeuomorphic turntable interface. There is so much potential here that has been wasted. I’m very disappointed in Native Instruments for abandoning this awesome product.

### 5/5 — Trouble IPad Air 5 and Kontrol S3

*2024-02-21, version 2.4.1*

Doesn’t connect my IPad Air 5 M1 to Kontrol S3. Only as sound card, but not controller. Anybody else have this problem?

### 5/5 — Lo mejor para aprender

*2023-08-29, version 2.4.1*

Es muy buena app para aprender a pinchar y hacer cosas abancadas y eso yo le conecto mi controladora y funciona lerfecto aun que tarda en cargarme los track pero eso creo que es por que mi ipad es una tostadora :)

### 5/5 — Please please, give us an update!

*2023-07-03, version 2.4.1*

I’ve been using Traktor by Native Instruments for 20 years.

This app is a gem. Please give us an update to keep up with latest iPadOS versions.

If you add new features and want to make this pro, I’d happily pay for pro version (as long as updates, bugs and quick fixes are seldomly provided, like any regular app developer).

Best regards!
