### 2/5 — Good idea, did not execute

*2017-12-15, version 3.1.0*

I don’t know if Pioneer has updated this app in a while, but it wouldn’t analyze all of my songs. It got stuck at 95% for a couple days now and still hasn’t completely analyzed them. This app could not, for some reason, analyze all but 5 Lady Gaga songs. All together it can’t analyze 140 some songs. If they would work out the kinks and give instructions on how to get this app onto my Pioneer receiver, which is new, 2017 AVH4200-NEX, this app would be pretty cool.

### 3/5 — Analyzing?

*2016-02-27, version 3.1.0*

It's been two days and the app hasn't analyzed over 12% of my songs at this point it's mixing into the same song

### 3/5 — Great app but..

*2016-01-10, version 3.1.0*

Why is the volume so low?

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2015-06-03, version 2.2.8*

For $4, I think the visualization presentation should be better. With customization of colors to match your stereo. App looks a little out of place. 

I like the purpose it serves, but I'd wish it had more variable effects when songs transition.

### 3/5 — No iPhone 6 Support

*2014-09-30, version 2.2.5*

No iPhone 6 plus support yet and this really affects the usability of the app as the songs cannot be analyzed and if you add songs to your library you need to delete the Mixtrax application and reinstall.
Otherwise works fine with the AppRadio 3 and stand alone 
Thank you Pioneer

### 3/5 — Good concept

*2014-06-14, version 2.2.4*

First off this app is a great concept! BUT the app only works good for non-lyrical music genres. Basically if the song is not a radio played song it doesn't know the bpm (beats per min) in turn doesn't allow you to play the song in the app. The only way to get the bpm is on a desktop manually and re-upload the song. The mix is automatic so you can't really have freedom in where the mix takes place and most of the time it's right in the middle of a verse. The standard full length song setting, there is no overlap. You may as well just be using your default media player.

### 2/5 — Great concept. Haphazard execution.

*2014-03-18, version 2.2.3*

Took an hour and and a half to get thru my 1808 songs and 48 still remain unanalyzed. A few recommendeds I didn't agree with but I didn't expect it to be perfect. Analysis in settings does not work at all and auto analysis upon opening quits if you allow for auto lock.

### 1/5 — Wow I should've read the reviews

*2014-01-12, version 2.2.3*

I usually don't do this, but this app is soo terrible. wow. 
Just garbage. Im even on stable 6.13 and this garbage crashes every time. 
For once I legitimately want a refund for an app.
(Update: 
I'm now on the latest 7.0.4 (or something) and on an iPhone 5S, previously used a 4S) the experience is the exact the same. Awful. Seriously the worst I have ever had an interest in. I was on my way to purchase a Pioneer in dash player specifically for this feature and I'm so glad I wasted the 4$ instead of 400$. 
Just take it off the App Store.

### 1/5 — Cannot get app to load songs....

*2013-12-01, version 2.2.3*

...bums me out.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2013-11-20, version 2.2.3*

Never loads up songs bad app from the beginning

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2013-10-21, version 2.2.2*

Doesn't recognize songs on the iPhone. Also does not analyze correctly. I have hundreds of songs on my phone. All songs are on the phone. Not in the cloud. It only analyzes 17. Joke.

### 1/5 — Not what I expected

*2013-09-07, version 2.2.1*

If you want an app that randomly plays your music at random points in the song then this is for you. I have no idea why this app is even available or what its intended purpose is supposed to be. It basically takes 20 seconds off at the beginning and end of a song then automatically does the same thing to another song. If I had bought this from a store I would return it.

### 1/5 — Support iTunes Match

*2013-08-27, version 2.2.0*

Every other music app I have does. Including your own carmediaplayer application. This app is useless to me until it does.

### 2/5 — Great app BUT

*2013-07-15, version 2.1*

Worked great when I first downloaded it but now there's no sound output. Needs an update ASAP!!!!

### 1/5 — Mixcrap

*2013-06-10, version 2.1*

Doesnt work waste of money

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2019-02-05, version 3.2.1*

This application doesn’t even work on my iPhone 8 Plus I paid and downloaded it and it doesn’t even work I need a refund

### 1/5 — Too many bugs; outdated design

*2018-04-14, version 3.2.0*

Pioneer “updates” this app every few years it seems. You would think they would offer an Apple Watch version but no, that’s too much to ask.

### 1/5 — Overpriced music player

*2016-08-27, version 3.1.0*

It plays music perfectly fine, but so does iTunes.  Was hoping to actually check out the mixing aspect of the app; however I have only been able to analyze 40 tracks in 24 hours.  As a pioneer dj equipment user I was hoping it would be a better experience.  Not worth time, effort, or money.  Will be deleted

### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE WORST APP EVER!!!! -5 stars

*2015-11-18, version 3.0.0*

Will not sync my songs only 4/40 will play. TWO THUMBS DOWN! 👎🏾

### 1/5 — Crash a Rama

*2015-10-18, version 2.2.8*

Under the menu "songs" , "Artist", "tempo" "genres",  all crash the app. Using iPhone 5s IOS 9.0.2. Wasted 4 bucks.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2015-10-11, version 2.2.8*

Just purchased this app and when I click on the album it sends me back to the home screen. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — iOS 9 - broken

*2015-09-21, version 2.2.8*

Tapping on many of the menu items causes app to crash.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2015-03-23, version 2.2.7*

Don't waste your money.

### 1/5 — Another Pioneer Dud

*2014-11-18, version 2.2.6*

If you've used Pioneer software before, you know how clunky they can be. This app is no different. I bought the paid version of this app because the description stated there would be extra features. They aren't accessible in the car, so they are of no use to me. In addition, the app crashes every time you try to complete song analysis. So if you were hoping to use this app to DJ mix your own music library, that is also not going to happen. If you're interested in this app, just download the free version. That will include all of the features that actually work. I wish I had known better.

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2014-01-14, version 2.2.3*

Agree with others reviews. Do not waste your money on this App for the Pioneer AppRadio! Expected way more of this! It's just crap!

### 5/5 — This app is awesome

*2016-03-13, version 3.1.0*

This is the only app I found that would mix my music without me having to actually use the turntables! Only bad thing I wish you can have more choices on the "play mix" and for me to choose how long a song should be before it mixes on tho the next one. Other than that this app is Amazing I would recommend this. OH and my biggest problem is why isn't the music from Apple Music available for this app a lot of my music isn't there because most of it is on my Apple Music would be great if you fix that problem.

### 5/5 — Your Own Personal DJ

*2015-06-06, version 2.2.8*

This app is pretty darn cool! I've never had any issues with it. It mixes all of the music that is stored on my iPhone perfectly and with their "magic mix" it mixes in songs from the iTunes Store. Awesome!!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2011-12-14, version 1.0.0*

First off, this is truly a great app and worth $1.99 all day long. But, there is one feature I would like to see added (*cough cough* pioneer employees *cough cough*). I would absolutely LOVE it if I could create a playlist that had only songs I specifically chose and put into that playlist. Just like all pioneer products (I am a fan and would highly recommend both car & home products), this is innovative and definitely ahead of current technologies. Again, this is a great app that can only get better.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2011-12-09, version 1.0.0*

It's just like having a little DJ in your car! It's great for me because I often like to change songs, and with this, you can set how long you want the songs to play before they mix it into a new one. This would also be great for a party. 5 stars! Recommend highly.

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2011-12-09, version 1.0.0*

Upgrades the free version of Mixtrax.  Adds additional mix types (playlist types).
I love this app.
Ya it uses too much "JET" effect for transitions, but this is the first time I've ever seen something like this.
I'm not gonna complain about a little polish when the structure of an auto-DJ is finally here.
Go Pioneer!!

### 4/5 — One issue

*2017-12-08, version 3.1.0*

I love this app but since the last update I ca no longer share on Twitter from the radio display.

### 4/5 — Crash is now fixed!!!

*2015-11-13, version 3.0.0*

Thank you for fixing !!! Works great

### 4/5 — New

*2013-07-14, version 2.1*

Can we have an iPad app for this please

No longer have an iPod.

### 4/5 — Good

*2013-04-11, version 2.1*

Works fine for me organizes all my music tells me the Bpm.  I have so many songs that it organizes the Tracks by the tempo. Song information is kind of sketchy when it comes to display of my Pioneer head unit Not in app mode.

### 4/5 — Great update!

*2012-12-18, version 2.0.2*

***Update 2, have been using the app more now and I noticed that the songs played through mixtrax are played at a lower volume than through the native iPhone music app. I basically have to turn up the volume atleast twice as much to get the same volume normally.  I'm not sure if this is a glitch or bug. Another thing is too bad they removed the transition selection. Also it seems like the PC mixtraxs transitions are more smoother. But Great job on the app!

**It looks like they listened to the reviews and made a completely redesigned app! I'm glad they implemented in the option to select your playlist and it'll automatically mix the tracks for you! So far everything works well except it doesn't support the iPhone 5 screen but it's not as big of a deal. I also couldn't find the option to select the transition sounds anymore. Definitely worth purchasing now!

This app has great potential, hopefully in a future patch or update you can actually create custom playlists! That's why I bought it but it's not true because you select 1 song and it makes a playlist for you. I would like to use playlists I already have on my iPhone or atleast create a new one with the app. But other than that it's good.
