Don’t work
Looks like this app is no longer supported or updated. It use to be good but now crashes or won’t connect. If you are looking for a better app than what behringer offers, get Mixing Station Pro
APP Does Not Connect to XR18
I was never able to connect to XR18 mixer. Still waiting on response from developer after many weeks.
App interface is poor
Hard to use
Bad app
Glitchy and unreliable. I want my money back.
Use
I bought this app because the original sliders on my old iPad mini and even on my iPhone were massive and gave more control of the mix on a walk round the venue. Now it no longer supports my iPad mini and now the sliders are smaller than behringer original. Updated itself off my old iPad. Now I only have it as an emergency back up if my iPad and laptop stop working at the same time

No way to see input meter while setting gain.
I might be missing something but, I can’t find any way to set the input gain with a meter view or even a digit reference. To me that is the first and most important step to any mixer. As with lots of other comments I would not want to use this app to set up a mix from the ground up. It would be ok for monitor mixes or maybe a side type mixer when you can’t get to a real app that works properly. I was hoping to use it on my iPhone for small events where I just bring xr18 and iPhone cuz it’s on my waist anyway. But I would not feel comfortable to do that with this app as it is now. I’ll have to bring iPad I guess anyway with Behringer app.

Response from developer
This shortfall will be addressed in the next update...
Sadly Still lacking, but getting there
I love the fact the developer is so committed and has rewritten the code from scratch and hasnt charged for a new app. I love the interface and best of all the nice LONG faders (behringer take note!)
But it’s still too slow, (using ipad air mk1) it lags, and is just not responsive enough for live use. Over 3 minutes to sync each time it drops connection.
As much as i don't like behringers micro-faders on their app, they have everything else right including speed and reliability.
I feel for the developer and sense his passion to make this app work. Please don't give up yet. This is a massive improvement on the previous version and be I’ll checking back for more improvements. User-organised faders also please. Keep it up!

People this app works fine!
Great update!
I use this app weekly and it’s a great tool for the XAir series wireless mixers. On or off stage I can easily control the sound with DCAs, Channels, Processors and Effects. I can also quickly Mute any unused Mics or any Channels.
For the people bad mouthing the app, please learn how to operate it first, before complaining that it doesn’t work.
John Miller is doing an excellent job, he listens to users’ suggestions and requests, and he is friendly and a great communicator.
If you want to control your sound with an iPad or iPhone, or simply have it as a BackUp device, I highly recommend this app.

Rubbish app
Keeps crashing every time it's loaded since the new update.
Better but lots of room for improvement
Bought this app years ago hardly ever use it, it has always been laggy and hard to connect at Times this new version works a little better and has more features but it’s still laggy and unresponsive at times still has a way to go to be perfect it’s a great concept keep working at it
This update broke the app.
- The channel title does not show up, and you can’t change it on the app.
- Almost every time I unmute, the app crashes.

Clumsy as hell in app purchases not working right
Found the in app purchase page (had to rotate my phone to horizontal).
Went to buy in app purchases and it only showed dynamic controls. I assumed it included the eq but no IT DOESN’T. Just spent $5.99 on dynamic controls when I really needed the eq control. Which isn’t freaking available.
Incredibly disappointed and feeling ripped off!!!

Connection is poor
This app will not stay connected. I am using a separate WiFi router. Additionally, if I try to make changes to access mode ( which Bus or ALL) it requests a password. I do not recall having to set a password in the app. I have tried the password to 1. The router. 2. The console 3. My iPhone. What other password could it mean?! Will this only work in Access Point Mode?

Response from developer
The first time you try to change the 'Access Mode' you need to set the password (don't forget it!) - then after that you will need to enter the same password to make any further changes...
X Air app
Downloaded as I turned up to a gig and realised I’d left my iPad at home. Very disappointed. Crash after crash, slow and unusable. I downloaded another app afterwards that does the basics far better. Shame that you cannot change the EQ or see the input levels on a meter. Makes setting gains very difficult.
Save your money!

Works great with the Midas MR18
I left my iPad with TSA (gulp). So I quickly scanned the App Store for apps that might work in place of the iPad app while it’s away. They all seem to connect, but this is the most fully featured replacement and seems to work great.
Not 100% perfect but does a lot!!
There are a lot of bad reviews here but I wonder how much is user error; getting the xr18 to work well and consistently over WiFi requires proper configuration with a dedicated external router...(I’m using an Apple AirPort Extreme)... XR18 to router to laptop (XAirEdit)via cat5 cable and then I use my iPad 3 (iOS 9.3.5) with the XAir app wirelessly. I just got FMP on my iPhone SE (iOS 11.4) and it is able to adjust HPF, input gain, phantom power, phase, faders, aux sends.
When you first launch the app you have to go to the network settings (tap on the WiFi icon in the upper right corner) and from there it’s pretty self explanatory to make the app detect your XR18.
I’m not giving it 5 stars because while certain (input gain, HPF) function they don’t automatically display the current settings of the XR18. Once the app is open, if you adjust these settings from outside the app (like from my iPad) then the current settings will show in the app.
Still for less than $10 to have these functions on my iPhone is killer.

Maybe good enough in addition to a tablet
Fairly disappointing that most of the features for mixing are unavailable. EQ and Compressor didn’t connect or work. There was only access to mixing faders and FX. No editing of EQ, Comp, Gate, Graphic EQ, FX type/parameters, and things you need to actually mix. I guess I’ll go back to the iPad.
Doesn’t work
This app does not work or connect at all to my mixer
Seems to no longer be an app
No longer listed on their site and i also cannot get it to complete a sync to the app on my iphone. I would ask for support, but again product seems to be no longer listed on website.
