The 7 Absolute Best Android DJ Apps

As a DJ it's always fun to check out new technological advancements in the djing field. One of those advancements in being able to easily DJ on the go due to the extensive amount of djing apps available.

I wondered what the best apps were for my Android tablet so I did some research and compiled the 7 best Android DJ apps.

Djing on a DJ controller and an app is the way to go when you choose to DJ with a DJ app. You can of course, always choose to DJ without an app but it's a lot more convenient to DJ on the app in combination with a DJ controller I have made a list of the best DJ controllers for you to check out.

Something to note is that you have to check the DJ controller compatibility with the app that you will be using. We now move on to the DJ apps.

Cross DJ

Price: Free / In-app purchases

Cross DJ is a wonderful all-round application for Android. They even claim to be the best one on the market. In my opinion a very fair claim. They are one of the very first DJ apps available for download on mobile.

This app features a bunch of functionalities in the free version of the app. Starting with track syncing, BPM detection which is very decent, 5 levels of pitch bending with ranges from 4% to 100% and beat-grid editing. The app also enables SoundCloud and Itunes integration.

For the premium experience, you can purchase several things in-app that unlock functionalities like external mixer support, auto-mixer or you can even buy sample packs.

Cross DJ really stands above the rest with automatic track suggestions for a very energy clean mix.

For the full experience, you will have to pay a bit of money but overall it's a great allrounder.

DiscDJ 3D Music Player

Price: Free / In-app purchases

DiscDJ 3D is a very special app as you can see in the video above. DiscDJ 3D is an app with a 3d view of a DJ controller which looks very cool! It might cause some misclicks but this app really creates a complete experience if you don't have a DJ controller yourself.

For this app, you will need to have your songs downloaded to your device. But if you have a well-rounded library you will be able to use it to mix very well like you would on a basic DJ controller.

In my opinion, this app is really useful when practicing for a real set without your DJ controller because it really mimics the experience and actions done while mixing.

Not the easiest app on the list but certainly a cool app if you're willing to practice for the real deal.

Music Maker JAM

Price: Free / $47.99 maximum yearly
