### 4/5 — Please change key lock

*2023-07-31*

I want the key lock to be optional and not forced. I want to be able to mix things sped up or slowed down without the pitch being the same

### 5/5 — Best Dj app ever!

*2022-08-07, version 1.6.8*

Please don’t stop development on this. We need it!

### 3/5 — I love this simple version but

*2022-07-20, version 1.6.8*

Minimal help topics. Frustrating

### 3/5 — Good app but how do I disable key lock?

*2021-10-19, version 1.6.8*

I’m trying to disable key lock and I can’t find it anywhere and the instructions won’t tell me how

### 5/5 — Hmmmm

*2021-08-24, version 1.6.8*

What can I say? This app changed my life. The weirdness that is Traktor app mk1 is so unique and magical there are no words?

### 1/5 — Any documentation for uploading music?

*2021-08-04, version 1.6.8*

For an app that is available on iOS.. there are no instructions for using music on apple devices on the app. I used this a couple of years ago without issue, but now no songs are available due to being locked to iTunes. I get that, but how do you get songs on your device and have them show in the app? There’s no link to a folder in the app… does it just pull from the whole apple device? (I’m using iPad). I have legal music in my files that don’t appear here that are in the correct format, so idk what’s going on but this has just been a complete waste of time.

### 4/5 — Simple but substantial. Perfect for beginners

*2021-04-20, version 1.6.8*

This is probably the easiest Dj app that is still on a professional level..

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-12-24, version 1.6.8*

Thought it would connect to AudioShare, it doesn’t. Traktor for iPad is worthless to me... AudioShare compatibility is absolutely essential for any iOS music related app. And no I’m in no way affiliated to AudioShare, it’s just an app I can’t live without in my creative flow.

### 5/5 — 22 years DJ perspective

*2020-05-26, version 1.6.8*

Sounds fantastic! I bought this because the new Traktor dj2 has no options to access your recordings kinda comical that your forced to purchase Soundcloud to access your recordings, on the go without WiFi the Soundcloud feature destroys functionality of this App. Traktor Dj is great, but missing some key feature like; loop size, mixer fader volume, start-stop and pitch bend dedicated buttons. This could be a pro-level App if they work more on updates, as for now ill stick with my Serato setup for my professional use until these Apps get’s updated, so I can work on the go.

### 5/5 — Been using it for 5 years ...I even have traktor dj2 for iPad

*2020-04-08, version 1.6.8*

But I always go back to use this one cuz I learned on it and I like the functionality of it ....2 is cool an all but ima fan of this classic design at this point ...will crash from time to time,,but for the most part it’s pretty solid ..I wish they’d update this version again 

Please don’t discontinue this ...I make a tiny supplemental income off of using this app
