With a clean, minimal interface, it’s a simple and fun way to play and spin your music like a DJ - speed up, slow down and control the record directly with your hands, and use the needle to skip around. * Import songs, albums and playlists from your music library * Organize a queue - set up the order of songs or keep a bin of tracks ready to play manually * Drag the record in either direction to speed it up or go backwards, and use the pitch control to change rotation speed. * Set up the app on two devices and plug them into a mixer to DJ live. * Choose from six color themes: Original, Snow, Shadow, Canton, 1999 and Anarchy. * Stream Apple Music tracks (turn this on in Settings) * Create multiple turntables to play tracks simultaneously (only works with music on your device) This app evolved from the Tactile12000 for the desktop.
