30 years ago, if someone told me DJing would be made possible on a small touchscreen, I would’ve never believed them.
Fast forward a few decades, and not only can we mix tracks from the palm of your hand, but we can also produce professional-quality tracks in a matter of minutes. Crazy, right?
If you’re looking to effortlessly start DJing on the go, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll take a look at ten of the best DJ apps for iPhone you can download right now.
Let’s dive right in!
Our Top Picks of Best DJ Apps for iPhone
We’ve handpicked nine DJ apps that offer unbelievable functionality from the comfort of your fingertips. Most apps listed here are free. However, you can unlock more features with in-app purchases.
Our first pick is Djay. This is one of the most popular DJ apps on the app store right now. Other than mixing music, Djay allows you to produce music, automatically remix tracks, and seamlessly add instruments to your tracks.
One of the best features of Djay is Neural Mix. This is what makes this app so powerful; you can now automatically remix any track you want using the help of artificial intelligence.
All you need to do is create a playlist and let the app do the rest.
Want to mix some tracks and learn about sampling at the same time? This app does a fantastic job at doing both. You get a turntable interface, HD recording capabilities, and other exciting effects, like phaser and delay.
This is one of the few apps listed here that isn’t free. However, you do get a seven-day trial to test out its features, and the full version is just a few dollars cheap!
We have to say, we weren’t entirely impressed with edjing Mix during the first few hours of testing. Don’t get us wrong, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the app.
You get the familiar turntable interface, some features like pitch-bend, and a wide array of effects to choose from. So, if nothing particularly impresses with this app, why did it still end up on our list? The answer is consistency.
After extensive use, we can say without a shadow of a doubt that this is one of the most stable DJ apps we’ve used so far. It didn’t crash once, has everything perfectly placed where you’d like them, and offers professional features like MIDI controller compatibility and DVS.
DJ Mixer Studio offers everything you need for the occasional mixing sessions. You can import your library from iTunes, create your own mixes, and upload your work on Youtube.
There are a few features that impressed us. We had tons of fun experimenting with the 12 unique pads. There are some effects and an FX Locker function that automatically plays the effects for you. Truly solid app.
Cross DJ offers some of the best compatibility across all competition. It detects AAC, MP3, FLAC, and WAV. Perfect for advanced DJs who want to mix on the go.
You get the same set of features on any DJ app. A BPM detector, pitch-bend, MIDI controller compatibility, and the ability to import your music from Soundcloud.
If you care about aesthetics, then you’ll immediately fall in love with Pacemaker’s interface. This app values minimalism over functionality; it has everything you need from a DJ app with some track editing features.
The best part? Pacemaker is designed to mix the tracks for you. This means all you need to do to start turning heads at a house party is import some tracks.
If you want to cut tracks or add some bars, this app will let you do that. However, Pacemaker’s highly intelligent AI makes it designed to allow you to do as little work as possible. Perfect for beginners.
Party Mixer 3D gives you the feel of a real turntable. The keyword here is “3D.” The turntables are realistic and give you the impression you’re playing at a real club.
Feature-wise, this app doesn’t disappoint. There are some free filters and sound effects. If you want more, you can purchase some sound packs for relatively cheap.
If you’re interested in creating music as much as mixing music, you’ll find everything you need with this app.
Aside from remixing your tracks, this app allows you to play with an enormous number of sound effects and instruments. You can create a track from scratch and remix it with other tracks if you want to.
This isn’t the perfect app for complete beginners. However, DJ enthusiasts will have a blast experimenting with all the different features of this app.
If you want an app that’s more focused on production rather than mixing, this is the app for you.
Music Maker Jam allows you to remix tracks by simply shaking your device. There aren’t a lot of controls over mixing music. You can adjust the tempo and add some effects, but that’s about it.
In regards to music creation, there are a ton of tools you can use to add a unique touch to your tracks. You can choose between numerous samples, add beats, loops, and upload your tracks to various platforms.
Not to be confused with Djay, Deej is more tailored towards first-timers than advanced users. The interface is simple and doesn’t distract you with a lot of buttons and sliders. There are also a lot of tutorials to give you a headstart into the DJing business.
Other than that, you get an integrated library of millions of songs, courtesy of Pulselocker. You can mix your tracks, add some effects, and upload your music to Dropbox or Soundcloud.
