### 5/5 — The Single best tool for Live Audio Techs to have on their device

*2026-08-21*

This is one of the most incredibly well designed apps made by a solo dev in the history of mankind. It is consistently updated, almost entirely bug free, and it allows precise and flexible control over most common Digital Audio Consoles. 

Most of these consoles have their own app, but Mixing Station improves upon every single one of them to the point that I don’t think I’ve used any other app in almost 5 years now. This app even adds functionality that doesn’t exist on some consoles and apps. The developer is a saint, and the price for board licenses is completely reasonable for any professional in the audio field.

### 5/5 — one of the best things to ever happen to me

*2026-08-20, version V3.1.3*

if you think this app doesn’t work, you don’t work.

### 2/5 — Tf03

*2026-08-20*

Nao consigo usar na minha TF03  pois mesmo sendo pago nao conecta!

### 5/5 — Really Cool

*2026-08-10, version V3.1.2*

I really like this app and all of the functionality with being able to rearrange  sliders and pretty much you can customize most everything in this app.
It would be nice to have more themes. Like a rock theme or a jazz theme, super hero theme  etc.

Compared to the other apps this one is the best and doesn’t lock up.
It also loads really fast.

### 5/5 — Muito bom uso na igreja perfeito para o som

*2026-08-09*

Muito bom perfeito

### 5/5 — 잘 사용하고있는데 한국어 버전도 만들어 주세요

*2026-08-01*

한국어 버전도 필요합니다

### 5/5 — App Excelente

*2026-07-27*

Não consigo mais operar a XR18 sem ele.

### 5/5 — Better than most manufacturers apps

*2026-07-26, version V3.1.2*

Truly the best mixing app for iPad or Android.  The ability to customize the app is fantastic, it has really great features such as re-gain. It’s more powerful and capable than most of the manufacturers default apps they provide with their mixers

### 1/5 — Poor Customer Support

*2026-07-19, version V3.1.1*

I bought the Everything package for 1 year and was supposed to be able to share the licenses with 4 phones. I purchased it in March, contacted customer support multiple times, and still haven’t gotten an answer that solved my problems. I play 70-80 shows a year, and dealing with this before every show has become a nightmare. 
PS. I asked for a refund to repurchase the app, to possibly reset the subscription, and they refused. Very disappointed.

### 5/5 — The only app I recommend for Behringer units

*2026-07-08, version V3.0.2*

David does a phenomenal job keeping this thing up to date and adds new mixers as he can. Dude is super chill and helpful to end users that just don’t comprehend things completely. This app is the only one I recon for users of the the XR-18 and several other models. There are others but this one is pretty easy to use and understand. Before you leave a bad review on a prod you don’t entirely understand, YouTube a little or reach out to groups and try to understand it better before you assume a product isn’t working as intended. 

Love the app, use it weekly and licensing is not a huge cost. God bless bro, keep the awesome updates coming!
