### 2/5 — Train wreck

*2014-01-21, version 2.2.3*

This app sounds amazing, in theory. In actuality it just train wrecks one song into another. For Rhodes who don't dj train wreck is a term when u mix two songs and the beats clash and are not in sync and spouds like a train wreck. Not sure if the endless mix feature does the same thing for the paid version but don't see why it would be any different pretty much a waste of time

### 3/5 — Is coo

*2013-03-20, version 2.1*

But don't buy just get the free one... Not worth to buy

### 2/5 — Auto playlist transitions

*2012-08-08, version 1.1*

Needs to be able to allow you to manually select your own premade playlist and from there have it auto DJ for you. ATM its terrible because it mixes random songs that don't even work.

### 4/5 — Great app! Works great.

*2012-05-09, version 1.1*

The free version is good. But the paid version has more transitions. If you really want a DJ version the online PC version is much better! But you need a pioneer head unit or steez product.

### 3/5 — Scrobble?

*2012-04-17, version 1.0.1*

Add scrobble to last.fm or Facebook support and I might consider actually using or paying for this

### 1/5 — Why are people so impressed by this?

*2012-01-19, version 1.0.1*

It's So simple and the transitions are far from seamless. They don't roll and they are abrupt.

### 3/5 — Cool app when working

*2012-01-16, version 1.0.1*

I love how this app mixes the tracks on the iPod Touch. However, the app crashes frequently and takes a long time to start-- > 5 minutes to start app.

### 4/5 — Seems good

*2011-12-29, version 1.0.1*

Seems good so far wish they had an ipad app

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2011-12-09, version 1.0.0*

I've been waiting for somebody to do this. I can't exactly work mixing equipment in my car. Now your phone does the mixing for your. Your own personal club DJ. Go Pioneer!  My hero!

### 4/5 — Not bad. Did a quick test and works but seem to have the same transition each time. Still worth it

*2011-12-09, version 1.0.0*

Worth the try

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2020-01-01, version 3.3.0*

Purchased app unable to access iCloud music must be downloaded.can not get any function to work on pioneer head unit .very unsatisfied

### 1/5 — Great...

*2016-03-23, version 3.1.0*

...for the 10 seconds it worked. The it closed itself.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2015-03-21, version 2.2.7*

This app will not allow me to access anything. It freezes a lot. Don't waste your time. The free app doesn't allow you to do anything you have to buy the app to do anything

### 1/5 — Why is this a separate app?

*2014-05-02, version 2.2.4*

First off let me say this does what is should.

However, there should be no need for this.  I had an older Pioneer headunit that supported Mixtrax from the iPhone out of the box.  Now that I've dropped over a grand on the AVIC-8000NEX I need to spend an additional $4 for this functionality from my phone?  I just hope this is fixed with the upcoming CarPlay firmware update.

Again, the app is nice and adds a few new features to the Mixtrax experience but I still see no reason why this wasn't implemented into the 2014 FLAGSHIP headunit.

### 1/5 — Why...?

*2013-11-01, version 2.2.1*

I Understand this is a TRIAL VERSON, BUT, There is Nothing to Try, All the Good stuff is ONLY AVAILABLE IN FULL VERSION...:( let me Try Full app for 24 hrs or something...?
The App Really Looks Cool and Sounds Cool But...
Anyway

### 1/5 — Mixtrax app crashing

*2013-07-07, version 2.1*

App crashes 2 seconds after I open it on my iPhone 4S. Works fine on my wife's iphone 4. I was planning to purchase the upgrade but I definitely won't now until its fixed.

### 1/5 — Can't get anything to work on iPhone

*2012-12-10, version 1.1*

After playing around for 2 hours I can't get it to do anything on my iPhone. Downloaded pc app, analyzed all music, installed and reinstalled App several times but says 0/445 songs analyzed. No support ANYWHERE, only FAQ's that won't help. Mixtrax works awesome on my computer and wouldn't hesitate to buy full app if I could get it to work.

### 1/5 — Pioneer, hope you are reading this...

*2012-05-29, version 1.1*

Pioneer, hope you are reading this...

After this cataclysmic failure of your App radio 1 ( I disappointedly have owned ) and your epic double whammy failure app radio 2 I now am swapping out my radio to another brand. 

This costly mistake cost me over $1500. And I am amazed Apple still let's you download your " APP " for your " APP" radio " especially with so many unhappy customers. Of course AppRadio is not related to Apple.

This really should be more
like a class action lawsuit as your product sold in store and updates makes this completely unusable.

Finally Pioneer ambition and being remotely an "APPle" radio is so ridiculous.

Do Not buy this radio!

Originally gave a 5 star... Soon became more frustrated with the "parking break warnings" who uses the parking break anyhow? Especially in parked their garage!?

Also, why such a loooooooooomnnmnngggggggg boot up? Like the guy waiting for me to back up out of a public parking stall has any empathy for " me " getting my app radio turned on.

Seriously, it has a 1 minute boot, then you have to agree that 1 parking break on, then off, then on, then click
OK .  Are you kidding me!? 

Why should I get a workout to apply, pull parking break, disengage, reapply.. 

All this after the ridiculous 1 minute boot time?!

What it does.. OK ( sounds more like radio quality... )
1 plays pandora.  Just plug in and hit pandora on your iPhone.
2. Plays iTunes library ( have to click on iPod icon )

The rest is a mess... Really.

What drives me more mad is the inability to delete the " beep " I mean, if you can change the wall paper, change the font in the firmware.. What's up with the annoying beep with volume control...  

Imagine, listening to a song that you want to turn up, instead of turning a knob you click ( which is ok ) but it beeps, beeps, beeps... Every time you push + or - .

What's more of a liability is having to click back to the iPhone to " Allow " when you plug phone into appradio! 

I'm not going to talk about the bluetooth and don't even think about using SIRI with it... Useless.

It could be seamless...

### 1/5 — Major bugs (not minor) finally fixed

*2012-04-30, version 1.1*

Had to wait a whole year for them to fix the bugs, and that was on the paid version.  Don't bother with this app or ANY Pioneer product for that fact. . . customer service/support is something they apparently have never heard of.

### 1/5 — Mixtrax

*2012-04-15, version 1.0.1*

Stopped working for me, too.  Just keeps skipping through trax.  Was great before.  Support for this app is nowhere to be found.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2015-02-12, version 2.2.7*

This app is super awesome! I can't believe how well it works and I plan on buying the full version to unlock all the features!

### 5/5 — best

*2014-08-23, version 2.2.5*

besttttt

### 5/5 — Simple app does what it says. Free Version:

*2012-12-13, version 1.1*

I downloaded the free version and MIXTRAX does exactly what it says. Once started it analyzes songs on your device. I had to restart the analysis after an error, after that It reportedly was able to analyze 1604 out of 1862 songs on my iPhone and created three Mixes to choose from, "Beat, "Chill", and "Thump". I've only listened to the Beat Mix so far and it provides OK transitions (better than 2 sec of silence, i'll take it). Simple and Works for what I wanted. I have a Pioneer receiver that doesn't have/support MIXTRAX on it BUT I'm able to connect my iphone to my car's USB and play it that way. Not having to skip a bunch of songs or spend the time to make a consistent playlist, the app does it for me. From the previous reviews I'm lucky it found most of my music, perhaps everyone's contributions before me beefed up Pioneer's server content. Next I'll be getting the paid version, downloading this to my Macbook Pro and doing my entire library. Just got a call while the app was running and it would be great if the music picked back up afterwards.

### 5/5 — Works well!

*2012-03-15, version 1.0.1*

I love it, and can sometimes even listen to it whenever my AppRadio is actually working while driving. >:(

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2012-01-06, version 1.0.1*

So much fun with music passion

### 5/5 — Non stop music with this app

*2011-12-26, version 1.0.1*

Must have app for music lovers. I'm impressed with the song selection the app does.

### 5/5 — Impressed

*2011-12-24, version 1.0.1*

First time I used it I give an a+  actually works very well

### 5/5 — Amazed

*2011-12-16, version 1.0.0*

When I saw the app I thought it was going to be junk because hardware companies spend all there time on the hardware and then just add some crappy software to run it. But pioneer really did a great job. Like others have said when I give this app a try in my car I was very pleased. Iv since added more songs to my phone. I wish it could access my iTunes on iCloud

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2011-12-09, version 1.0.0*

I didn't think this was going to work as good as it did. Really impressed!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2011-12-09, version 1.0.0*

Works great. A new way to listen to your library of music.
