Next, you need to hit the preferences and go to Bluetooth Controllers, tapping on the DDJ-200 to get the two devices talking to each other. Note that if you’re using a newer iPhone, you’ll need the headphones adaptor too, which removes your chance to charge the iPhone without yet another adaptor. To get the DDJ-200 working with the app, you need to first power the DDJ-200 (plug it into your phone charger with the attached cable, for instance), then use the supplied mono (or “DJ”) splitter cable to take your iOS device’s headphones out to both your speakers and your headphones. Note that day in its full version is a subscription app (although at the time of writing you get six months for free), and you’ll need a Spotify subscription too to do this. To use Spotify on it, then, you don’t use the (free) WeDJ app that Pioneer DJ recommends for the unit (check our first look review here), but instead, you use the djay app from Algoriddim, which is officially supported too.ĭjay has the added advantage of also working with iPad, up to and including the iPad Pro, so you get much more screen real estate to play with over DJing with WeDJ on an iPhone (WeDJ isn’t for iPad as of now). It is able to work with a wide range of streaming services by being compatible with DJ apps from other brands as well as Pioneer DJ’s own WeDJ.


Pioneer DJ’s new DDJ-200 hardware is designed to work with mobile devices and streaming services primarily, and laptops/local music only as another way of DJing on top of that.
