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. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Great app buy no support! *2025-08-24, version 2.5.2* Love the app, by far it’s my favorite in this field. However, the manual is too basic and -as a user of the “Pro”, paid, version, I never got a reply from support despite writing twice. That alone costs two stars. ### 4/5 — Gute App *2025-07-17, version 2.5.1* Hey, seit dem letzten Update scheine das „mix speichern/fader recall“ nicht mehr zu funktionieren. Bug in der App oder in meiner Bedienung? Kann die Mixe nicht mehr laden wie es vorher möglich war ### 3/5 — Musician/Audio Engineer *2025-04-26, version 2.4.4* Can not find were or how you get the pro series ### 4/5 — So controla os Bus *2025-04-20, version 2.4.4* Uma pena que ele só controla os bus/retornos, mais ele e bem intuitivo, melhor do q uso, so perde pros bus ### 3/5 — Testing Features *2025-04-19, version 2.4.4* For whatever reason, the panning feature is not available in demo mode. Even after purchasing the pro features. Not sure if this is on purpose or just a bug… would really appreciate adding/fixing the panning to each channel. Thanks! Keep up the great work :) ### 2/5 — Glitches *2025-04-13, version 2.4.3* It turns the vocalist up when I turn them down, it turns my click track off randomly and turns my vocal down. ### 3/5 — Great but recently buggy *2025-04-12, version 2.4.3* Our team has used this app for a long time and recently we have noticed that certain channels have started moving faders on their own without anyone touching anything. This is a wonderful app when it’s working perfectly. I hope the moving fader issue gets fixed. ### 3/5 — Latest update is buggy *2025-04-11, version 2.4.3* Since latest update 2 days (April 8 2025) faders are moving on their own and fight against resetting them. Prior to this the app was great! ### 3/5 — Issue with muting channels. *2025-04-05, version 2.4.2* I’ve been using the pro version of this app for a while now. For some reason now when I hit the mute button the app switches to the channel information screen. It’s inconvenient when I want to mute multiple channels at one time I have to tap the back button or wait for the screen to return to the mixer screen. Is this a big. It did not seem to do that in previous versions. ### 4/5 — Good job *2025-02-21, version 2.3.6* Good job! I have some troubleshooting though. I can’t see pan controls and the separated volume fader for groups ### 5/5 — The best *2024-12-29, version 2.3.6* By far the best monitor mix app for x32. Rock solid stable. I hope he extends this to the Wing as my band is about to upgrade ### 4/5 — MXBus works! *2024-12-11* I use MXBus every week for monitor mixes. It has many good feature that I use. Suggestion: Please add an indication to show if a channel is muted at the console. My experience is whenever a channel is console-muted then MXBus adjustments for monitors do not work. Knowing the channel is console-muted allows me to contact the console operator to resolve the issue. ### 5/5 — Perfect for IEM use *2024-11-22* I’m both a performing musician and soundman, and this app does a great job dispensing with all the UI clutter of a full remote mixer app to let you adjust your own IEM mix easily and quickly. The up/down buttons are a great idea, especially on phones where small fader moves can be challenging. It’s worked seamlessly with the XR18. I wish there were a Mackie DL version! ### 5/5 — Wing Support *2024-11-11, version 2.3.6* My favorite IEM mixer for the X32 Rack. I’ll be receiving my Wing Rack later this week. Does this app support the Wing? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2025-12-24, version 2.5.3* Always disconnected. ### 1/5 — Total unzufrieden!!! *2024-11-30, version 2.3.6* Hab die App gekauft, sie hat mit meinem X-AIR 18 nie funktioniert. Kam immer nur (error: 49)! Nach Anfrage beim Entwickler keine Antwort. Geld für nichts, minus 5 Sterne! Nicht zu empfehlen… Update: Das Problem wurde vom Entwickler behoben jetzt ist alles ok. Es war auch kein Entwicklungsproblem sondern ein Verbindungsthema. Danke für den Support. ### 1/5 — Why won’t this connect to the XR18? *2024-02-06, version 2.3.3* On the same phone i can connect to my XR18’s internal wifi with Mixing station but this app come up with an error immediately. Obviously nothing wrong with my connection but something seriously wrong with the app. Was about to upgrade to pro but will delete instead. Best avoided. ### 1/5 — Never works *2024-01-30, version 2.3.2* Never works when hookup to I phone ### 1/5 — Can’t connect *2023-09-15, version 2.3.0* Mixer shows but when I tap on it, nothing happens. I also typed in the up address manually and still nothing. ### 1/5 — Não está salvando a cena. *2023-06-12, version 2.2.2* Não está salvando a cena ### 1/5 — Worked great then didn’t. *2023-04-28* It’s really a shame, the app works well. But first, you MUST allow the network access to the app UPON start up. If you do not you will need to re download the app as it is NOT accessible in settings for whatever reason, I double checked. And then once I got it connected to the app (by changing the IP address on the console to match the service provider) the app worked for about 2 mins and would kick me out of the console on screen. I would then try to select the console which didn’t do anything. So now I am at the screen where my console is recognized but cannot access it. Rough. Will need to go with the Mixing Station app, though it is a paid one. **Developer response:** I'm sorry it didn't work out for you but I would like to correct a thing or two: You do not have to reinstall the app to grant network access - the switch is under Settings > MXBus. If you send me a foto of the X32 network setup and a screenshot of you phone's network settings I can try to reproduce this. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-11-28, version 2.1.5* When I try to change the aux that I'm mixing, the app crashes. I clicked every button to contact a support team and there was no contact information. I hope a developer sees this and wouldn't mind resolving this issue. ### 1/5 — Looks like a great app *2022-08-03, version 2.1.2* I am not able to get this to connect to my X32 console. I am 100% sure the network route is open as I can connect with several other apps M32-Q, X32-Q, etc. Is there a specific X32 Firmware version this app requires? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — De momento todo perfecto *2025-07-05, version 2.5.1* Todo perfecto , conecta a la primera y es muy intuitiva! Muy muy bien ! ### 5/5 — Best monitor mixing app for X32! *2025-05-19* I tried numerous monitor mixing apps for our x32 and they were all either too confusing our volunteers or just non practical. This app is accessible for our volunteers at our church and has everything needed for an experienced musician to do whatever they want to their personal mix. I love this app. ### 5/5 — Great app! Weird issue with faders though… *2025-05-16* First off, the app is a perfect solution for our vocalists using IEMs. The free version provides exactly what they need. No more, no less. The interface is so clean and tidy and really maximizes the screen’s real estate. That said, we have noticed a weird issue where one fader fades completely out on its own. Seems to happen when a vocalist leaves the app open and locks and unlocks their phone repeatedly to make adjustments during rehearsal. One fader, typically somewhere between fader 3 and 7 will just start sliding down on its own. Try and move it up and it’ll look glitchy and then fade back down. If they close and reopen the app, the problem goes away. Easy workaround but I thought I would mention it in case there is a fix for it. ### 5/5 — Issue with muting channels. *2025-04-10* I’ve been using the pro version of this app for a while now. For some reason now when I hit the mute button the app switches to the channel information screen. It’s inconvenient when I want to mute multiple channels at one time I have to tap the back button or wait for the screen to return to the mixer screen. Is this a big. It did not seem to do that in previous versions. *** Thank you for, your very responsive change to the app. Much better no and much appreciated! **Developer response:** Sorry for that. The fix is on the way. ### 5/5 — Solid five *2025-04-05, version 2.4.2* Perfectly compatible with Behringer X32 Rack --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
