Serato Remote for Negative User Reviews

✓ No longer connects to SeratoThis app no longer connects to serato.Dion VelasquezVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Only works on days with a q in.Totally unreliable. works when it feels like it then gets tired and gives up, wifi unusable...period. it doesnt register, doesnt connect or even appear in serato unless you're using jodrell bank disk and a gazillion megawatts and sitting in the bowl waving the ipad around...forget it..DemotricusVersion: 1.2

✓ Deceiving.Read the description carefully. This will not work on its own. You must have your controller or other setup is connected to the computer, making this app a pointless, waste of money..KaosthirteenVersion: 1.2

✓ ReasonableIt was good when it connected wirelessly through wifi but after a day it no longer connects wirelessly and have to connect it via USB to laptop. Tried Ad Hoc connection to no avail a bit disappointed..Chris gerardVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Updates neededMy serato doesn’t recognize my device anymore...due to iOS update and the Latest update of serato 2020 doesn’t communicate anymore please update it’s been 2 years.Djromance1Version: 1.3.0

✓ It’s begging to be updated!Still only 6 sample pads? Hopefully now that Serato DJ Pro is out we will see an update to Remote! Or even a remote 2.0?.Hawns0l0Version: 1.3.0

✓ Good if you use turntables, crap otherwiseWhile the app works, you cannot control so many things with it. The main reason I got it was to control stored loops since my controller can't. Guess what? No control for that here either. No library view as others have mentioned. Basically this app can control auto loops, samples, and in a limited fashion, effects. If you want more than that, look elsewhere..OldCharonVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Would be really good ifI wish I could see my crates and music on the app and load them from my app..Trazy2003Version: 1.3.0

✓ No START/STOP ButtonI love Serato and everything they do, except this. I use a Pioneer DDJ-SX and I can do everything this app can do on my controller. EXCEPT the app will not start or stop a track. When you call something "remote" it should offer the same or basic functionality as the controller itself. So I purchased this (for $20) assuming I would be able to at least start a track, stop a track and load a track...remotely. The basics. There are times when you are playing an event where having a remote I would be incredibly handy. My bad, I read the app description and while there was no mention of starting and stopping a track, I just assumed that something so simple would be included. This app should have been named Serato Loop and Sample Controller. It would be a great app for DJs that don't have the Pioneer or Numark controller..IMediafxVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Please updateSo I have all the Serato dj products and have been doing with Serato since 2007. I would love to see the ability to prepare my sets without a controller and have my crates. The second is update the app to support iPad pros full screen. Right now it looks like I’m on the 9.7 vs the 11.Djshark1200Version: 1.3.0

✓ USB not connecting win 8Serato scratch Seems to detect the serato remote fine over wifi but cannot connect iPad over USB. Tried two differentiPads and two different laptops running win 8..Saint seratoVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Silly since you need another controller to make it workYou can’t simply use this app with your laptop + Serato. You need a serato compatible device aka a controller or a mixer Serato certified. If you have that, why in the world would you use an iPad? To do a worse job at DJING?.WILLxLOVEVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Its nearly There ... bit still needs some work!Really not a bad effort at all the last release, good steps forward and generally compliments Serato DJ well. What I would like to see included is some "out of the box" thinking - Here is a idea, why don't you include an option to "Alter the brake time or the start time" - its a ball ache to have to chop and change between menus unless you have a set of 2000s, Nexus's or DDJSZ, why don't you put a link or a "clockwise" knob somewhere in the app to access the brake function, going into the options is alot of messing around for people who want to use the controllers, there should be a better and more thought out way off accessing this menu without having to exit what your doing or assigning your own midi mapping to the functions of the brake!! The Ipad app would be a great start, include a turner or slider to chage the value .... just an idea!.Chris (DJ)Version: 1.2

✓ Doesn't workI tried all connection types -> USB, wifi, ad-hoc and non of them would work. Everything was done by the manual, everything up to date. However this program would not connect with my laptop. Wasted my $20.TychroVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Would get 5 stars if it had a play/pause button.It works very well and was pretty simple to hookup. I just wish they would have included a play/pause button & a Cue button. It would be awesome for mobile gigs. Hopefully down the road they will add it..DjBillyBeeVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Not worth BuyingYou don't have full control. All you can do is control the effects and hit your cue points. It's not really worth it. I thought this would be fun to take to house parties... Short answer its not!.MaxPower720Version: 1.3.0

✓ Pioneer ddjsxThis is ok. Would be better if able to play tracks so could still remotely drop a tune away from my controller. Nice touch sensitivity for the effects though. Bit pointless with ddjsx though. Should at least be abe to cue a mix. 1 star but nice idea.MrpitchVersion: 1.1

✓ Play?They should call it Serato Sample Control or something. It isn't a remote for Serato. Would it kill you to put a play button in so it could be used to control Serato...remotely? Some of us don't use records for everything..MysoulishomeVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Serato won't find my iPadI've followed all three connection methods to a "T", ill gladly rerate the app if I can get it to work, but so far I've had no luck.. If anyone has any advice or troubleshooting methods please let me know, currently Serato's support page has no answer for my problem! Love serato and love that they made an app, just wish I could get it to work.Krash9764Version: 1.0.1

✓ Read description thoroughly before buying. This is not the "on the go" thing you're looking for.Thought this would have been a side controller to use, but I can't use it without it being connected to my decks at home. I travel a lot and being able to practice spinning on the train would have been nice. Definitely read the fine print. Got too excited on this and thought I found just what I was looking for. It has everything I already have, so, not needed..ReeguezVersion: 1.2

✓ Good but needs morePlease add a play/que to this. I have seen many people request the same thing. I am in the mobile dj business (weddings) and it would be amazing if I could que up and play a track while out on the dance floor. I purchased this hoping there'd be a way to do it but there isn't. Other iPad dj apps allow you to, so it can be done. Please make this happen on the next update. I think you'll get a lot more sales if this happens.AlbqbobVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Not seeing all the featuresNow seeing the play button and I'm using the latest version.CweekesVersion: 1.2

✓ Not much use, don’t waste your time and moneyCan’t even control Serato without hardware attached, even though I have bought Serato Play. Even ITunes + Apple remote is more useful..SP12345678Version: 1.3.0

✓ Does not workI have the Serato DJ pro software installed on my Windows OS and I have the Serato Remote software installed on my iPad for months now. It simply does not connect. I have tried connecting using the charging cable from iPad to the laptop as well as tried wireless set up. Is there a way I can get reimbursed back for the $20 that I paid for this software that just does not work?.Bhaveshk75Version: 1.3.0

✓ Needs an updateThe compatibility notification on startup is really bugging me now. Please do what you need to do to stop that notification appearing! iPad Air 1 32GB WiFi.FunchdnbdnsmmandhcVersion: 1.2

✓ Won't work w/ WindowsMy computer will not recognize this app. All requirements are up to date and it still does not work. I have opened up a support ticket with serato and apparently this app does not work with windows. I was told that they are working on fixing this issue. I am upset that there was no requirement documentation stating that this app does not work with Windows's. I would have never made the purchase..Douglasjones33Version: 1.0.1

✓ 20 buck disappointmentWow. I can't believe people, suckers like me, are buying this app. This is not even close to being useful. No stop, no start. You have to be right up on your controller and computer screen to use this. So why. U still have to multi button loops. No dedicated loops. No jog scroll. Thank you Serato for performing cashecomy on my wallet..åkreVersion: 1.1

✓ Can’t connectHave tried everything to get this to connect to my IPad Pro 12.5 and it just will not have it. I connect via cable and the laptop pick the iPad up instantly but it does not show as a remote within the software. Nothing shows up for wireless connectivity I have changed multiple settings to ensure the hard ware is discoverable. What appeared to be simply plug and play seems to be anything but for me. I have now contacted Serato support for some assistance. It could be something simple I am doing wrong. Any help on here would be much appreciated..PHAL79Version: 1.3.0

✓ Waste of MoneyComplete waste of money. I can't actually DJ from remote with this app. I can't see my library and therefore I have to be looking at my computer when using the app. That means I might as well be at my deck. Totally useless..DJTonyDubVersion: 1.2

✓ Doesn't workWhen I connect my iPad and computer it still says that in have no computer? Is it because I have a windows or just because the app doesn't work ?.Dj cushVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Works OKNo problem setting it up, connection via adhoc wifi has a bit of a lag. Wish it had playback and song selection controls though, then I would easily give more stars..EjtwrxVersion: 1.0.1

✓ The app is a disappointmentAs a dj that has been using serato since it came out i have always been a fan of the software. But i am disappointed in this app. On a positive note, the app is probably the best midi controller for the software. All it does is controls cue points, loops, effects, and your sampler. It would be better if you can fully work it with internal mode. It does not have a play/pause feature. You do not have vinyl control in order to beat match. You can not run the app unless you are connected to the computer and your computer HAS to be connected to Serato. It would be awesome if you could actually use it to search and find tracks. Also, they should implement a tempo control and be able to reach into the wave form and set cues through the iPad. Maybe even an offline use to set cues and automatically load the cues up once its connected. I am very disappointed in the app and kind of wish I would have not spent my money on it. It isn't worth the $20..ManderCommander510Version: 1.0.1

Serato Remote works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Serato Remote.
