### 5/5 — Much better than MX-Q

*2026-07-05*

Hated the MX-Q app and then our tech guys told us about this one. Much nicer layout and appreciate the active developer. I upgraded to the Pro version to get access to Scenes so I could save my monitor mix. That function alone is worth the upgrade, as we have guest worship leaders who will use my pack and mess up my mix.

### 5/5 — Almost Perfect

*2026-05-29*

EDIT: Issue fixed within a week of review. Fantastic, thank you!!!

Love using this app for X32 controls via my iPad. However, when using windowed apps on iPad, when in individual selection for a mix channel, the traffic menu buttons for the iPad are placed right on top of the Back button. PLEASE move the Back button down a bit on iPad channel selections so it can be hit! Would be 5 stars if that can be fixed. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Hi. I’m glad you like the app. A fix for that is in the pipeline.

### 3/5 — Okish

*2026-04-20, version 2.5.3*

It’s OK but not as clean as some others I have used. You can’t put sends in individual groups. Also, there is no adjustment for left and right. I even upgraded to the pro to see if that would fix it, but it did not. Looks old

### 4/5 — I bit archaic, but stable and functional

*2026-04-02*

This isn’t a sophisticated app. The look is pretty archaic and it doesn’t have any advanced functionality. But it’s always been stable for me on stage and is simple to navigate. It does what I need it to do; adjust IEM mix on before and during a performance.

### 1/5 — All channels all the time

*2026-02-20, version 2.5.3*

Editing channels does nothing on iOS 26 - App does not save changes.

### 3/5 — Please update your app

*2026-02-17, version 2.5.3*

This app was great when it worked the current version of iOS assuming it’s not compatible to the current version of this app it won’t allow me to enter my IP or connect wirelessly please update

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-12-30, version 2.5.3*

I can say I’m very pleased with this app. As a drummer in a local band, I use this app when I can depending on the sound tech. I use in-ear monitors and is great to adjust my own levels. Another big bonus is this app will discover the mixing console right away, when you’re on the mix wifi, so you don’t have to find out what IP address they’re using. Five stars in my view and use. Recommended.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2025-12-24, version 2.5.3*

Always disconnected.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-10-11, version 2.5.2*

The best mixer app ever

### 5/5 — Great x/m bus mixing app

*2025-09-28, version 2.5.2*

This app is fantastic! the pro version is worth every $$. I use MXBus on a daily on stage and in studio as a Drummer and Monitor engineer with Behringer x32 and Midas m32 consoles. I would love and hope to see compatibility with the Behringer Wing consoles some day soon.
