Top Pcmac Reviews

The app is almost useless now

By Loggy1964 (Pcmac user)

Like many other have commented, the application is not compatible with iOS 13.2. It crashes whenever you attempt to select an individual channel for edit. Unfortunately, I did not know this until I was “attempting” to mix last night and discovered the issue. It was fairly close to a disaster. I suppose it is my fault to an extent, but Behringer needs to bring more transparency to the functionality of their products. We are in the age of instant digital communication and there are ways to keep your customer based informed. I have to believe you were aware that this issue exists, and could cripple countless customers. Prior to this most recently IOS update the application was fairly stable and functional and I would have given it 4.5 stars. Today it is really not worthy of 1 star. Looks like I will have to migrate to the Mixing Station application.
Please Make This Right

After over a year of waiting for narrow faders, an update comes. But we still can't condense faders, we still can't move them or change their order. And we can't even change the network channel number! How can this be so difficult for a big corporation? I don't get it. Most of the iOS apps on this site have only one software writer, yet they manage to get updates to their customers on a regular basis, to address bugs and add features. Behringer makes us wait for over a year between major updates, and their are still major problems.

I’m writing to inform behringer that it has cost me a great deal of embarrassment. I use the xr18 to do sound for my band and I have 5 iPads all updated with the latest IOS software. I have not been able to use my app in nearly a month. App hasn’t been updated in 2 years. This is totally unacceptable. I sang the praises of the extremely user friendly app until last week. I waited patiently to see if the issue would be resolved before I wrote this review but to no avail, it hasn't. I shouldn’t have to run my shows from my MacBook as I am also the drummer for my band and using the MacBook isn’t as simple as the iOS app. Please fix this ASAP . I can’t effectively run my business and provide a high quality sound system with my apps not working! Fix this ASAP!
No problems here!

Been using this mixer and app for over a month, at least one show a week, and haven’t had any problems with it. The system is great and sounds amazing! The droid app works great too, although not as pretty as the iPad version. Being able to save scenes is huge...I have one for home, my weekly gig, and a couple places I play once a month or so. You just set up and load the scene you saved for that venue and you are pretty much ready to go. You can get amazing pro sound with this, can’t recommend it enough!
