C'mon guys, think about this .....
VDJ is the only software I have paid for (Windows & Mac) that gives free upgrades, and there's been quite a few in the time I've been here since buying version 5.
Some software vendors charge up to 80% of the new cost for an upgrade, and VDJ gives EVERY new release for free. My previous DJ software supplier (Alcatech) even charges 169 euros to upgrade to a version that works past XP!
Being on the dev forum, I can tell you it has taken quite a lot of time to get this app put together and approved by Apple, things aren't as simple as it seems on the outside.
My take is that the iphone app is not a core part of VDJ, and I personally think such a small charge is entirely justified for the level of work put in if you want to have the benefit of such an innovative feature. Also remember this is the first release and new ideas will be added in due course as the app is developed.
There are other ways of doing a similar thing for free, but the ease of how this app works for the price of a takeaway meal makes it a no brainer!

No matter what VDJ decides to do there will still be those are NEVER gonna be satisfied, could give you a few examples of PRO users who just bitch about how VDJ doesn't do this or that, just a bunch of babies. I mean look at me, I cryin for an Android app, lmao!! You've been around longer then so I know you know what im talkin about ;-)

So was I until last year, now I've got a MacPro, Macbook Pro, ipod touch & ipad.
Phone ways I'm on android, sooooo much better than the way Apple have crippled their iphone with restrictions.
People think I'm sick running XP on a Macbook Pro, but each to their own I suppose, it's just that I prefer the windows version of VDJ and a lot of the programs I use to work with MP3's are windows only :)

Bitchin about $10.00 for a tool that can help you do your job????? With free upgrades for life with VDJ, what's the problem?? If you don't need the app then why purchase it and then cry about it?? Obviously you don't pay attention to the forums. Stay home in your bedroom where you think you're the best dj in the world and cry yourself to sleep. Some people man!!! (...generally speaking...)

@ DJ Format...excellent skin...one of the best so far...
@ 8-Bitace...I'm sorry, I'm intrigued that you are bitching about having what amounts to a usuable party DJ solution (software and controller) for £5.99? In the whole time I've DJ'd, I can think of nothing else that I've spent so little on as the iPhone/iPad/iPod app - and if you bought a device specially for the app, then the cost of the Pro version should not involve any more thought than going through the purchasing process.

Before you all get excited about the droid version, I would like to point out that as it stands now it is nowhere near as good as Atomix's Apple software I'm afraid.
For example I've not even looked at skinning capability as yet.

"If anyone else is having problems like I was installing skins for the iphone, you need to make sure that there is a folder called iPhone in the VDJ skins folder or they wont install properly.
Mine didnt have the folder and I had to create it myself"
He knows what he's talking about...That's the solution to the problem of uploading skins on iPhone...

Nice addition! I really like the skin ;)
But, I noticed a little error though.
The pitch bend buttons are reversed, so minus goes faster and plus goes slower.

So tonight I had a free be christmas party for one of the venues that recommendsme. Nothing big, just a small get-together. A perfect time for me to test out and show off the new iremote app. Again, I was 300 ft plus away and had solid wireless connection. (more to do with laptop but still).
The only thing I noticed that the app becomes a bit of a battery hog. Mainly due to the screen on the phone staying illuminated while open. I assume that if the phone locks you loose connection or something. So, if you plan on using this at gigs, you'll need to be sure to charge your phone 100% and/or have your usb cable handly to plug into the wall or computer.
A missing feature would be the search. If I could sort the folders by title, artist, or bpm, it might be ok. But for now you can only view folders by how ever they pull up by default.
