Djay

Djay is one of the most popular and recognized DJ apps. Its interface is very similar to a physical deck, and you can work with two tracks at a time. For music, you can use the music stored on your phone or tablet or use music from Spotify. You’ll need a premium Spotify subscription for it to work and you’ll need to be connected to the internet even if you have saved music offline with Spotify. The app itself is straightforward to use and designed for beginners. If you’ve never used a DJ app before, Djay is the place to start.

Check out Djay on the Google Play Store and the iOS App Store.
