Hi,
I'm going to suggest quite a lot, I am a very realistic person and I know not everything will be added/done, and some stuff is maybe done/to be released.
I love CrossDJ, i was looking for a decent DJ iPad app, and you have made it! (yes, I do only own CrossDJ iPad atm.)
Suggestions:
Audiobus support: you may already have heard this one, but it would be awesome to remap crossDJ as an input to a recording/studio app. A second option would be having a line-in inside of CrossDJ where we could remap apps like iMPC/samplers/beatmakers trought it to complement our mixes.
More Hotcue's: I would love if we could make more hotcue's, I know with 6 hotcue's you already have more as the others, but I love to chop up/beatjuggle songs, and i find myself out of cue's a lot of times.
Another feature for cue's would be to Cueloop them, meaning when you'd press the cue button it would automatically loop it inside a pre-saved loop.
The Slip Loop option: I would prefer the slip button to quickly remove a loop and put it back when you unpress it.
You could make the sliploop feature you have now a press+slide to keep it pressed (like you'd mash a button in a way) and still maintain that ability.
Playlists: I love your playlist menu, readable, clear and awesome, but i'd like a little setting where we could choose how a playlist gets ordered. I like to make set playlists in the order i'll play my songs. Right now crossdj only orders them via alphabet only. (maybe a setting for alhabet, iTunes order, date added?)
AddingOnTheGo: Ok, first what do i mean by this? that I could open up my iTunes, decent to the app page of my iPad and click on crossDJ, put there music i don't have been able to synchronise with iTunes yet (I synchro my music, so if I'm not home,I must wait to play them.) they would appear inside a special playlist/folder in the play menu and thus I could play sounds i just found on anyone's PC. (maybe add the option to import files from dropbox/other cloud systems to that folder.)
A white theme: The dark theme is awesome, but if we could get the background to be white, in some situations it would be awesome!
Keylock: I know this has been asked a lot, just adding it to be complete on my wishlist of suggestions
That's about it, your app is a real worker.
I'm used to DJ'ing with laptop/controller, I started with CrossDj app 1.0.1 as a fun thing to do while I'm on the move, or just for friends jamming and not wanting to bring my setup. Now I started using at small gigs and if it gets even better (sure it will!) i might get rid of the laptop alltogheter.
Ok, thank you for this app guys!
