Rekordbox just released their new updated to the Rekordbox mobile app. Alpha Theta Corporation announces the release of Rekordbox for iOS ver. 4.0. This is what I was trying to have Native Instruments do with the Traktor DJ 2 App. But as I said in other comments. NI choose to go with old code of Traktor Pro 3 rather than the new universal code of Traktor DJ 2

    No problem on Win, Traktor runs fine on Win tablet like MS Surface Pro. Apple should do its homework and unify all its OSes into one. If MS can do it, Apple should be able to do it as well....

    I dunno, I don't think it's any different from how Traktor offers DJ and Pro. Rekordbox for iOS still seems like a stripped-down version of Rekordbox for desktop, and they're different right down to their features, workflow, and I bet even codebase. Unlike NI though, Pioneer is actually maintaining their mobile app - which is nice.

    Honestly it just seems like a move to sucker Rekordbox users into more monthly subscriptions, so I'm definitely not experiencing any FOMO whatsoever around their v4 launch 😆

    M1/M2 macs can run iOS/iPadOS apps.

    But not vice versa. And the OSes are not the same. In Winworld one may run the same app on PC/tablet/phone (if there would be Win phone). Be it x86 or ARM. For many years, already....

    If only Apple would unify their OSes into one, things for users would be much, much easier. Traktor for Mac would run also on iPad and iPhone. No need to make special app for different Apple HW platforms...

    It is easy, DJ2 was not profitable, so it was put away. The same with iMaschine...

    Traktor runs on all Win platforms without any effort from NI. MS did the job. One day maybe Apple will do its homework and Traktor will run also on iPad and iPhone. But licence will cost the same for Mac, iPad and iPhone... That is the difference from DJ2 and iMaschine...

    It doesn't make sense to try and run macOS apps on mobile/tv platforms, unless you are wanting a lousy user experience.

    Apple platforms are easy enough, as-is. Precisely why Microsoft is trying to emulate them.

    No problem to run Win app on Win based tablet. Why it would not be technically possible on Apple products?

    I have MS Surface, which one may compare to iPad. Traktor runs on it just fine. So, no technical reason Traktor for Mac could not run on iPad. Not being Apple's artificial segmentation of products....

    Blame Apple, not NI, that Traktor does not run on iPad/iPhone.... In Winworld it is possible and it works like charm.

    I'm not blaming NI. I'm content with NI supporting current macOS. I have no desire to run Traktor on a phone or tablet. My needs are more professional. MacBook Pro is my preference. Thank you.

    I did not mean it personaly to you. That you blame. I spoke generally....

    Traktor would run just fine on iPad with M1/M2 CPU, if iPad had MacOS.... My Win tablet works great with S5 and D2s.
