I use it to make playlists from multiple playlists with multiple variables. It replaces some of the functionality that was removed from iTunes years ago. Had it years, still use it regularly, and it’s still getting updates. Highly recommended. I just updated this review August 2026. ### 5/5 — Last played date is back ! *2026-08-28, version 2.1.4* Wish there was a way to pin “Last played” to the top of the preferences menu. One of my top 5 apps- my go to for music! I love that I can listen to my last played song next! Thanks for bringing back the date the song was last played! ### 4/5 — Used for years *2026-08-18, version 2.1.2* I’ve used this app for years and it’s the main way I filter through my massive library of songs and massive playlists. It’s really great and I would recommend it to anyone with a big library of music. There are a couple things I wish it had, like folders for mixes or a way to only include songs on two playlists (i.e. songs that are on BOTH a dance playlist and a sad playlist) but other than that this is amazing ### 3/5 — Great companion for Apple Music (But still has bugs) *2026-08-09, version 2.1.2* 9 August 2026. Updated from long ago. The cloud sync doesn't work. I have to duplicate by hand all my mixes between my iPhone and my iPad. The Lossless criterion for selecting music from my library only returns videos. If I choose Include All Songs as my source, the UI bunches up the source text label and the first group modifier (any or all groups). So I select Include Library as my only source. The source list and the display of which source is chosen is the most confusing thing about this app. I have to downgrade my 5 star rating to 3 stars. It's a shame because Mike has put so much effort into this app. But the issues I listed make this app increasingly frustrating to use. ### 1/5 — no longer works *2026-08-09, version 2.1.2* Apart from my complaint it now dors not work at all. Please sort this out Despite excluding specific terms (eg not containing traccia) these still appear in playlist. I do not know how to contact developer Update: months later, no response at all. Issue still exists, i suspect those criteria have no impact at all 😫 ### 4/5 — Siri/Shortcuts Actions *2026-08-07, version 2.1.2* The app is great and I love being able to finally create dynamic filters for playlists (or smart playlists). But I’m disappointed to not see any shortcuts actions built in? I feel like that would help a long way. Siri would be able to start playlists you create then. And shortcuts could trigger them off events. ### 5/5 — Huge fan *2026-07-31, version 2.1* Been using it for a while now. The strength of the app is its simplicity of use, versatility of function and unbeatable price. It fills all the gaps that I found in Apple Music. Love it. Well done. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy! *2026-06-21, version 2.0.4* The worst app ever. Doesn’t work even after you pay for the features. Waste of time and money. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app! *2026-05-31, version 2.0.4* Updated Review: I’m wondering if there’s a bug in the “In Library” / “Not in Library” filter? I’m frequently getting songs that are in the library in the “Not in Library” results. Otherwise, it’s still one of my most used apps on my phone! Previous Review: The updated version feels fresher and faster, so huge kudos! I love the addition of the delete group confirmation. I hate that I love it, but accidentally tapping that bit me in the butt so many times… Curious why the star rating rule was changed from tappable stars? Not a big deal, but I found the previous usage easier. Maybe the app’s coding is easier this way? I noticed that the “Loved” selection wasn’t replaced by “Favorites” in the scroll picker. Not an issue for me, but might be confusing for newer users. Lastly, I have to admit that I don’t love the new edit screen. I’m probably the exception as I have tons of playlists in my library and scrolling through them left and right takes MUCH longer. Overall, love the app and am grateful for the regular updates! I’d be crushed if this app ever went away! I really use it a ton! Thanks! Original Review: This is easily one of my most used apps on my phone! One issue I recently ran into is that I ran into results that included Audiobooks from the books app? Any way to exclude these from the results? Maybe this one is just me continually fat fingering my screen, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tapped the text space when editing a rule and accidentally hit the delete button that deletes the whole group… That REALLY sucks… Also, is there a way to include/exclude music videos? Awesome work! I love this app! ### 5/5 — Bloody Brilliant *2026-04-15, version 2.0.4* Well worth £2.99 ## Frequently asked questions about Miximum ### What does Miximum do?
