8 years of djay on iOS making DJing easy and fun for anyone on their smartphones, they are re-releasing the app so it’s free for everyone.

For 8 years Algoriddim has been bringing DJing to the masses through their phones with their paid app djay. Now they’re re-inventing the experience and opening it up to more people by making it a free experience and enhancing it with a bunch of new features.

Gone are the old djay apps on iOS offering a $10 iPhone app and a $20 app for DJing on the iPad that provides a feature packed DJ experience that’s accessible to amateurs but powerful enough for professionals alike. djay are now returning to their original model from when they launched in 2006 of offering their powerful app as a free download that users can choose to pay a subscription for extra features.

In their statement creators Algoriddim said: “We decided to make djay a free download again. Moreover, in the same way that djay made mixing music accessible to the masses, we wanted to do the same for creating music. Moving to in-app subscription gives us an easy way to add more packs, more sounds, more videos, in a way that ensures everyone has access to the same downloads, without further cost barrier.”
