Slow news day?
Suppose if had anything to do with organizing all of your 'L' lenses, you'd accept it as 'front page' news, eh?
Amazing software, award winning app---an unbelievable price for an "Apple" only application. Yes, it's news. Good News too! Thanks Arn. Some of us appreciate your efforts.
Do they really think that people will pay for every update? I won't. That's not how AppStore works.
Sooooo many of these comments, almost made me throw up a bit in my mouth. Hopefully this isn't the world we can look forward to living in moving forward. You'd think in this day and age of AAA console titles debuting @ $60 a pop, mandatory $60/year (MS Live) access to content, and a 6 month wait just to see a $20 drop in pricing on the software itself...Five bucks for this gem is a freakin' Bargain! It absolutely IS an update....damn near a dozen in Version 1 came with it as it matured for 'Free'. This takes the app to a whole new level with built in drum pad, effect pad, track analysis...for those that actually enjoy music, work with music...or just like to fart around in their bedroom dJay2 is a 'must' buy...if you own an iOS device.
Original a great app with a fatal flaw-cant mix out in stereo. Your mixes record mono-sound crap. This just seems like eye candy. Shame they can't work out a stereo output solution. I guess it's down to hardware limitation.
That's been fixed for some time....oops, disregard, you've already been alerted to that 'fix'.
For a paid upgrade (counting the introduction price as 'upgrade' seems reasonable), I don't think this offers that much over the old version. A little bit of extra colour and a few beats don't quite justify new money, in my view.
I feel being double-dipped.
You're missing quite a bit if all you're seeing is color and beat additions. Even just a quick scan of the article though, you'd know that.
i have itunes Match and it doesn't work well with that. Fix that, and I'll consider buying it. I was not too impressed with Djay 1.0
iTunes Match doesn't work with
anything!---including itself
. Hopefully Apple is working to improve iTM. It definitely needs 'help'. I don't blame this on Algoriddim
I paid for a lot of apps, and i understand the devs need money to continue their work. But this is not a new app, it's just an update. So i'll keep the 'few dollars' for other new apps.
And you felt the need to tell us? It absolutely IS a new app...you've apparently no idea what goes into creating software this powerful....if you bought the original, it's going to still work fine....and you enjoyed multiple 'free' updates along the ride. Hang on to your 5 spot. Buy a latte...or put a gallon of gas in your car. Neither will be there in the morning, but I'll still be enjoying dJay2 and most likely another 18 months of updates and fine tuning of an incredible piece of software. Of over 500 apps purchased for our iOS devices since 2008, this is in the Top 10 of my favorites.
I truly Honestly hope this isn't the 'actual attitude' on the street. I always thought it sad folks couldn't pony up the 10 bucks for an album (CD for the younger folks) when it dropped (first week specials). Now the shelves and music store industry is gone. No one wanted to 'pay' for their music...so many felt entitled to get it for 'free' without regard to it's creation (the artists, studios, and the greedy record companies). Piracy of software....and now crying about a $5 app upgrade being 'too much'....we deserve another free update. If this is our collective attitudes, the app development community will die. It obviously isn't....just the vocal majority that decides to bark when they feel the least bit slighted.
The vast portion of the populace seems to be 'on board' with buying apps @ this price. Never in the history of computing have we had ANYTHING like the AppStore/Play--Go Store....and nearly a million apps in each. It's awesome. It's an amazing time to be into technology, regardless of your interest. Some folks aren't DJs....but for 5 bucks, everyone can 'pretend!'. And...if for some reason you actually ARE a DJ, this app is a diamond in the rough...and will save your ass in what could be a critical situation during a gig, as a redundant/back up/contingency plan when the computer (Serato/Traktor or your software of choice) decides to crash....CD deck won't let go of a CD----you get the idea. No one wants dead air...and simply connecting the iPad to the rig with dJay and a couple thousand tunes will save your day/night/party Every Time!
As usual...I didn't plan to go on this long!! But as someone that has made a living spinning records and playing music (radio and my own business) for 25 years now...it's easy to remember the effort it took JUST to load in the music for a gig. Milk crates filled with vinyl, records (Other than Thriller) that were good for only a song or two....the music load in was easily into the hundreds of pounds!! That didn't change a whole lot if you had an updated CD collection before the 'burners' were main stream. Able to carry a massive and all inclusive music collection on a 1.5 pound tablet WITH software like dJay to play it back with----absolutely
Priceless!
