The Best DJ Apps for Mobile

DJing has never been more accessible. In the past, getting started required investing heavily in specialized equipment, but now, a smartphone is all you need.

With DJ apps becoming more powerful, it’s easier than ever to experiment with mixing and see if DJing is something you want to pursue. These apps aren’t just for newcomers; some offer advanced features that rival full desktop software, making them a valuable tool for seasoned DJs as well.

Whether you’re looking for an app to casually mix tracks, prepare professional DJ sets, or perform live, we’re breaking down the best options available and what makes each one stand out.

1. rekordbox Mobile

Platforms: iOS, Android
Price: Free (basic), Core (£9.99/month), Creative (£14.99/month), Professional (£29.99/month)

Rekordbox is one of the most well-known DJ software solutions, trusted by professional DJs worldwide. The rekordbox mobile app brings many of its desktop features to a streamlined mobile interface, making it a great option for DJs who want to prepare and mix tracks on the go.

With Cloud Library Sync, you can manage your DJ library, set cue points, and analyze tracks directly from your mobile device. The app also integrates with Tidal, Beatport, and SoundCloud, so you can stream music straight into your sets. Additionally, it supports Pioneer DJ controllers, making it an excellent choice for DJs who already use Pioneer gear like the DDJ-FLX2 or FLX4.

2. WeDJ

Platforms: iOS, Android
Price: Free (basic), In-App Purchases for Additional Features

WeDJ is a mobile DJ app developed by AlphaTheta, the same company behind rekordbox. Unlike rekordbox, which is more designed for music management or to be paired with hardware, WeDJ feels more squarely targeted at beginners. As such, it’s a super accessible, fun and intuitive way to start out.

This app was originally designed to work with Pioneer’s now-defunct DDJ-200 and WeGo range of controllers, but it now lives on as a standalone app. You get an easy-to-use interface and the basic controls you’ll need for mixing, but we’d have a hard time recommending this as an option. Unless you’ve got one of the specific controllers this was meant for, there are better options out there.

3. Algoriddim djay Pro

Platforms: iOS, Android
Price: Free (basic), Pro version (£4.99/month or £48/year)

Algoriddim djay Pro is one of the most powerful DJ apps in the game, and their mobile version is no different. You get control over four decks (two more than most apps give you), as well as Neural Mix AI technology which allows you to separate the vocals, drums, and instruments in real-time, letting you create remixes live.

You can also link this app up to a range of DJ controllers from brands like Pioneer DJ, Reloop, and Numark for a super portable powerful DJ setup. Another standout feature is the ability to use hand gestures in a 3D space above your device to control mix parameters, making it a unique and fun way to DJ.

There’s also streaming integration with Apple Music, giving you instant access to over 100 million songs to mix.

4. edjing Mix

Platforms: iOS, Android
Price: Free (basic), Premium (£6.99/month or £39.99/year)

edjing Mix is a mobile DJ app designed for beginner DJs, and claims to be the world’s most popular DJ app. It offers an intuitive interface that’s easily accessible but still gives you some pretty powerful tools. There’s also integration with streaming services like Tidal, SoundCloud and Deezer, allowing you to mix music instantly rather than relying solely on locally stored files.

There are a couple of beginner-friendly additions, including automated BPM detection and Smart Volume that automatically adjusts the volume and gain of the two tracks playing. You also get some more advanced DJ tools like stem separation, as well as the ability to record and share your sets. 

Probably its biggest downside is that it only seems to offer hardware support for the discontinued DDJ-200, so will be quickly outgrown when you want to start using a controller, unlike djay or rekordbox.

5. DJ Studio

Platforms: Windows, macOS, Web
Price: £99 (Studio), £149 (Pro), £349 or £29/month (Pro + Stems)

This last one is a bit of a rogue pick as it’s not a proper mobile app, but it does still work well on mobile with their web version. DJ Studio is also a bit different to the other apps we’ve mentioned as it’s not designed for performing and mixing live – instead its focus is on preparing DJ sets and crafting edits.

You get some really advanced tools that make putting together a DJ mix incredibly easy. Just drag and drop your tunes in and it can even come up with a track list in the right order for the smoothest blends, considering things like BPM and key signature. 

From there, you can apply a range of transitions and tweak these to your heart’s content. There are also really powerful stem separation tools that let you isolate individual track elements, giving you further creative control over track transitions.  

Which DJ app is right for me?

The best DJ app for you depends somewhat on the setup you’re using as well what features you’re after.

Overall, we’d probably have to say djay Pro is the best all-round. It’s got a fantastic mix of features, streaming support, and hardware compatibility. Whether you’re using the touchscreen controls or an external controller, it feels like a proper bit of DJ software rather than a fun toy and features like Neural Mix, gesture control, and Fluid Beatgrid help this stand out from the crowd.

If you’re already a Pioneer DJ/AlphaTheta controller, then rekordbox mobile is the natural choice. As the industry-standard software, it gives you a seamless workflow between preparing tracks on mobile and performing on club gear. Its cloud-based library management tools make organizing music effortless, especially for DJs who play across multiple devices.
