### 3/5 — Ok but issues

*2026-08-01*

Disappointing Update – Please Bring Back Portrait Mode

I’ve used XAir Monitor Mixer for a long time, and it used to work great. On my iPad, if the app didn’t open in portrait mode, I could simply rotate the iPad to landscape and then back to portrait, and it would display correctly.

Since the latest update, that workaround no longer works. The app is stuck in landscape, making it much less usable on stage while I’m playing. I need to view it in a vertical portrait orientation, and landscape just isn’t practical in a live performance.

Please restore proper portrait mode support for iPads. It was one of the app’s best features, and without it, the app is far less useful for live musicians.

**Developer response:** Oops. I rushed out a fix for someone and that someone slipped in.

FIXED! Please check out the current version and let me know if you have any issues.

### 2/5 — No me gusta

*2026-03-06, version 1.03*

Se cierra sola y o poner en negro

### 3/5 — Update needed

*2025-04-27, version 1.03*

With the current iOS, I need to delete and redownload the app at every gig. It worked ok before. Kind of a pain to use now.

### 3/5 — Just ok now

*2025-04-08*

Dropping the wifi constantly and needs to be updated

### 4/5 — Works fine

*2025-03-19*

This work fine with an external router as long as you create a network and everybody logs into that network. Getting six people on all the time sometimes a challenge, but for five people it works fine.

### 1/5 — Stay Away

*2025-01-30, version 1.03*

Just read the reviews. You can download the app, buy the mixer you need and see it work. After that first time, forget about it because it’ll never work again. When you try it’ll go to a black screen and that’s all you get. And @apple will NOT refund you. Tried twice until they responded the decision was final. Assh0les won’t even read that the app doesn’t work. So, stay away and don’t waste time and money.

### 1/5 — Non funziona più

*2025-01-25, version 1.03*

Devi aggiornare l’applicazione, io ho pagato per comprarla, dagli ultimi aggiornamenti non si attiva.

### 3/5 — Pls Update the App

*2024-12-01, version 1.03*

For iOS 18 compatibility - current version when launched shows XAir network IP temporarily then screen goes black..?

### 1/5 — Works when it opens

*2024-11-24*

App crashes on iPhone and has to be deleted and reinstalled to work; happens with my phone and my wife’s phone.  Wish there was a fix.  The app is easy to use and convenient when it works.

### 1/5 — Incompatible avec iOS 18

*2024-11-09*

L’application n’était déjà pas aboutie en version iPhone, pb d’affichages et d’ergonomie mais depuis iOS 18 c’est inutilisable on ne peut plus se connecter..

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2024-06-19*

Aplicativo não funciona. Fica procurando a rede da mesa, pedindo o número do IP e não conecta. Muito ruim.

### 1/5 — FREEZES

*2024-03-18*

I love the layout of this app! However, it does not work with the latest iOS for iPhone or iPad. It freezes constantly and you have to quit and reopen.  A few minutes later… same thing. Please update this app. It has been 4 years.  ✌🏻

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-12-26, version 1.03*

This doesn’t support or interface with XR 12 behringer …. Total Waste of money.

### 3/5 — Torno sui miei passi...

*2023-12-07, version 1.03*

Mi  correggo : forse per un errata installazione, Disinstallata e reinstallata, l'app ha agganciato subito l'X Air18 presentandosi pronta alla sua funzione. Non vedo l'ora di provarla sul palco! Al momento..tutto ok!

### 1/5 — L'applicazione non funziona

*2023-12-06*

Una volta connesso l'iphone alla rete proprietaria del xAir18 Behringer e aperta l'app, questa presenta una videata dove é evidente l'indirizzo ip corretto, chiede conferma di volere accedere ma non va avanti con il processo di aggancio.
Purtroppo non trovo modo di allegare lo screenshot  ma la dicitura principale recita "Waiting for response from mixer..." e sotto compare l'indirizzo ip 192.168.1.1.  Chiedo gentilmente spiegazioni. Grazie

### 4/5 — Buena opción.

*2023-11-12, version 1.03*

Sí me funcionó con una Behringer XR18. En mi caso, sólo tienes que ajustar la terminación de la IP con la de la mixer cuando está buscando emparejar (100, 101, 102, etc.). 
Los controles son sencillos, pero puedes manejar los 6 buses.

### 1/5 — Refund pls

*2023-07-09*

Won’t connect to server, entered IP address over 10 times, did not work, pls refund my money

### 1/5 — Confuso demais

*2023-05-20*

Aplicativo confuso demais, nem se quer aprece a opção de conexão.
20$ jogados fora.
Nem ao menos tem a conexão estabelecida ou aparece a opção de conectar somente aparece “Wait for response from mixer”
Decepcionado!

### 1/5 — July 2026 Doesn’t Work at All Anymore

*2026-07-26*

Don’t bother… This was good for a good while, but doesn’t work anymore and won’t recognize your mixer.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-28, version 1.03*

Does
Not work pls give money back

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2026-04-30, version 1.03*

This app won’t connect to Xair 99% of the time. Yes, I’m on the xair router.

### 1/5 — Cost

*2025-12-20, version 1.03*

Why paying for a product i already purchase

### 1/5 — Review

*2025-08-08, version 1.03*

I paid for the App. Gig after gig, I was not able to connect to the mixer. Big disappointment.

### 1/5 — Not connecting to external

*2025-07-26, version 1.03*

App is not connecting to our external router. It does connect to Xair 18 internal router.
I see this may be a common issue from other reviews. Yes IP address is correct. Is there a fix for this? Hate to pay for something that we can’t use.

### 1/5 — Don’t spend the money

*2025-06-17, version 1.03*

Complete garbage

### 1/5 — Quit working

*2025-02-27, version 1.03*

First time i used it, it worked fine. And now it won’t connect at all

### 1/5 — Need app updates

*2025-02-12, version 1.03*

I cannot recommend this app.  When I open the app it just shows a black screen and does not work.  Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Broken with iOS 18

*2025-02-10*

Been using for years with my band and was by far the simplest UI for band members to manage their own IEM mixes. Unfortunately it hasn’t been updated in 5 years, and has been broken by the iOS 18 update. You can launch the app, but it just gives a blank screen when you try to connect to the mixer.

### 5/5 — So far, so good

*2026-03-29*

I was able to connect with the external wifi but I had to make sure the IP address was correct.    For some reason it was automatically trying to connect to an IP address that was off by one digit.   Once I noticed it and made the correction it connected right away

### 5/5 — Funktioniert beim xAir18

*2023-09-22*

6 Mann Rockband, alle benutzen diese App. Jeder hat seinen eigenen Mix. Läuft mit zusätzlichen Router stabil. Perfekt für uns.

### 5/5 — Manz

*2022-10-13, version 1.03*

Absolute game changer app for in ear monitors. That 1 star rating would be coz they didn’t know how to use the app. Great features. Multiple functions. The band love it. Has helped everyone hear every everyone else in the band and also helps with levels were nobody will be losing their hearing

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-07-02*

I’m a full time live sound engineer and I always recommend this to the musicians who want to control their own IEM mixes. 

It works well with external Wi-Fi routers.

### 5/5 — Amazingly Simple

*2022-06-01*

Great app if you just need to adjust your monitor mix simply and reliably.  Been using this for years with external routers and never had an issue connecting.  Those saying it won’t work with an external router are incorrect.

### 5/5 — Super appli

*2022-01-17*

Très bonne application pour le monitoring individuel sans pouvoir déranger la façade, faut ce qui est décrit 👌🏻

### 5/5 — Work great

*2021-02-04*

People who are having problems are not set up right. Using this live you need an external router to have wifi and hardwire to the main laptop. I’ve never had a problem.

### 5/5 — Nice app!

*2020-08-29*

It does what it’s suppose to! In addition, no one will touch the main mix :)

### 5/5 — AMAZING!

*2020-04-13*

This saved me $200+ on the P16s that I would have had to buy!  Now I can get the $50 ones instead!

### 5/5 — Cumpre o que promete

*2020-02-15*

Não tive problemas! Aplicativo voltado para MONITORAÇÃO... não entendo reclamações pois o nome ja fala. Perfeito pra eu controlar meu próprio retorno. Recomendo pra esse fim.
