Awesome! An app laid out and easy to use.
I can do everything on this app I can do at the console. It is laid out well and very user friendly. No flipping through layers to get to what you need. I use this app several times a week and it allows me to mix from any seat in the house. I wish the Midas app was as easy to get around on.
Does not work with Voiceover
I am a blind user working with Voiceover on the Ipad. When I open this app, Voiceover just says “Mixpad” and provides no access to any controls including the user agreement. My husband and I are both skilled audio engineers and this in unacceptable for a company that boasts concern with accessibility. Please do much better, A&H. If you don’t know how, we are available to help.

No independent RTA monitoring
Having independent RTA control between the app and mixer is important in my application. I have a team of volunteers to do mixing for FOH and live stream (using mix bus out). Since they are not that experienced, I need to step in sometimes on the iPad/Mac. But this app does not allow independent RTA monitoring. Instead it has a “feature” called “Follow this device” to have the RTA to follow the select on either the board or iPad. If you have it turned on on both device and board, you may have to “steal” the RTA by tapping the button. I am quite disappointed with this limitation as my X32 can do this.

Best of the wireless mixing apps
I’ve used them all. Mixing station is a great all-in-one solution.
But this app is by far the best IMO.
Thanks A&H

One of the better mix apps, two feature requests...
I really enjoy the SQ app, and wish the dLive app was this capable! Two features to round this out a little more: add soft keys to the strip assign and do DCA Spills.
Great tool but needs wider faders
Love the ability to use the app remotely within our crowds. Is there a way to widen each channel so that each channel isn’t so narrow? I have fat fingers and the app isn’t intuitive for those of us with larger hands. Can we make the channels wider? Currently there are 16 channels on the screen. It would be best if we could at least have no more than 8 or a way to adjust the width of each channel.

Response from developer
Hi, thank you for the review. You should be able to adjust the number of on-screen faders with Setup>MixPad>Banks>"Visible Channels in bank". If this doesn't solve your problem, however, please contact us using support.allen-heath.com so we can look into this further with you. Thanks!
Great tool for remote mixing
We have had to do Drive-in Church over FM radio since the state allowed us to. The SQ7 is in a trailer with the rest of the tech, but I mix from my truck listening to the FM broadcast. I can do everything I need to on the iPad.
Please update the app to work with Apple Pencil 2
The app is overall very good, but please allow the Apple Pencil to adjust faders and EQ.
Incompatible
The console and app must be running the same version, which is a huge hassle as a freelancer working for multiple companies who are all running different firmware versions on their consoles, and cannot update without disrupting all the iPads and freelancers iPads compatibility in the field.
1 star until they can make the latest app functional on ALL firmware’s of the console, not just the latest.

Beware Apple Pencil Users
The new 1.4.0 version of the app does not work well with Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro. Most buttons work, but faders (channel & EQ) cannot be moved with the pencil. I hope this gets fixed so I can update the review. It’s a great app otherwise.
