The Internet’s Opinion

From 7 professional reviews: a fair amount of evidence.

Reviewers recommend it for its stem separation, beatgridding and design, most of all for DJs who use several Apple devices. The repeated reservations are clunky library handling and sync, and workflow gaps next to Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox.

Our take

Tony AllenWritten from the sources on this page, not from a loan unit.

Six of seven professional reviews recommend it, citing Neural Mix stems, Fluid Beatgrid and a polished design, and two value one subscription across Mac, iPhone and iPad. Three find library handling and sync clunky, and two list workflow gaps next to Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox. Stems do not work on Apple Music or Spotify tracks. Start with the free app and subscribe if you mix from TIDAL, SoundCloud, Beatport or your own files.

What it is

Status, October 2026: current. Algoriddim now sells the app as djay Pro, and its current generation, djay Pro 5, launched in December 2023 (Digital DJ Tips).

What it is

djay Pro AI is the paid tier of Algoriddim's djay DJ app. It arrived on iPad and iPhone in June 2020 with Neural Mix, which separates the beats, instruments and vocals of a playing track in real time (9to5Mac). For djay Pro 5, Algoriddim rebuilt Neural Mix with AudioShake's separation technology (Algoriddim) and added Fluid Beatgrid and Crossfader Fusion.

The app is a free download for macOS 10.15 or later, Windows 10 (21H1) or 11, iOS 15 or newer and Android 10 or newer (Algoriddim). A PRO subscription unlocks the full feature set and works on up to five devices across iOS, macOS, Android and Windows once they share a djay account (Algoriddim support).

It plays local files and streams from Apple Music, Spotify Premium, TIDAL, SoundCloud and Beatport. Neural Mix works on TIDAL, SoundCloud and Beatport tracks but not on Apple Music or Spotify, mix recording is off while streaming, and only Beatport stores tracks for offline use (Algoriddim support).

On the Mac, layouts run from a two-turntable view to four decks, with a sampler, a looper and a video mode that outputs over HDMI or AirPlay. Algoriddim lists over 100 supported controllers, including Pioneer DJ CDJs and the Rane Twelve, plus MIDI Learn for anything else. Cueing in headphones needs its Split Output mode or an external audio interface. The Windows version also takes digital vinyl control from turntables and a mixer.
