Ratings and reviews

This app worked fine until android 13 update. Some minor issues but it was still usable. It's been months and no update. It seems the knowledge base and faq/feedback sites linked off the app are non existent. Mackie has left me stranded. I have a dl32s and didn't expect to have to buy an iPad to backup my android device. I've downloaded mixstation at the recommendation of a friend. Its similar, but for $5 it works, where for free MasterFader doesn't. Check out mixstation.

This should be the easiest ecosystem to recommend, sadly it's not. The suite of tools is genuinely amazing. The problem is that the app suddenly stopped working for any of our musicians ruining Android 13. If the app wasn't labeled as being compatible with Android, I wouldn't care, if they pumped out a fix for the bug within a week or two of the issue arriving, I wouldn't care. It's now been months with no update. Don't waste your money. Seems like they no longer care about this app.

Downloaded this to my S7. I made sure the app didn't need to update. Connected to the "MixWithMackie" router. App can't detect the mixer. Turned cell off-on. Nope, didnt work. Uninstalled-reinstalled the app. Nope, still not detecting the mixer (DL1601). Forced app off. Reopened. Nope. Turned wifi off-on again. Nope. Gave up. Everyone in the band with iPhone had no problems. Only me. Looked everywhere for a solution and saw lots of folks had the same with no answers either (Btw, 500 wor lim suk)
