Mixcloud really stepped up their game over the last few years. The app works almost flawless and it syncs with the desktop version too, so you can continue playing on your phone where you left off. Lots of free music recorded at live shows and no copyright restrictions like on SC. I like it now.

I like mixcloud as a service but this app is currently barely usable. -The media control buttons on my watch and headphones don't always work -it randomly shows that there's music playing in my status bar even though I haven't touched the app for hours. And it doesn't even play music just says it does. -its quite laggy and buggy in general -- Just fixing the notification would be enough for me to give it a higher rating but currently it really only gets 1/5

Love the content. Love the unobtrusive adds. The player itself is quite buggy though. Has a hard time being paused. It'll forget what set I'm listening to or it'll say it's playing when it's not and I'll have to start it again and shuttle through to where I was at. The browse by category is just a chart. I'd love a random button within categories. A bookmark function would be awesome for when I have to pause or take a break for a bit

It mostly works Shows notifications even though I haven't used it in several days. No play history so I have to keep track in a notebook. Player controls sometimes disappear. Playback sometimes stops when I receive notifications from other apps. On the plus side the sound quality is good enough, the app is pretty light weight and is easy to navigate etc.

Horrible interface Your app glitches. Each time I get a notification the music stops and doesn't continue to play (unlike Spotify and Google Music). The history is no where to be found so I can't go back to what I just heard. The backward and forward doesn't even work when I scroll thru the mixes. Horribly done. The app "sticks" from working. Nice try tho...

P. Ward

Sooo buggy ... I'm annoyed. Receiving notifications when after I stopped a track because the app is still trying to restart the track. Or I'll stop one mix, try to play something else but the app will buffer endlessly or simply NEVER play the next selection at all! Having to uninstall and re-install over & over is ridiculous. I like app for the content but starting to think its not worth it now. Over it ... for real.

love that you allow us to rewind and fast forward but the scroll bar is a bit small to use and not precise with fat fingers. ALSO the app keeps opening on my phone on its own doesn't play just opens up and will always appear to be in use by placing an icon on my top screen toolbar on phone. i have no idea why. lg flex 2 HELP.. make it stop! not sure why it shuts off when i get a text or when i navigate to other apps like chrome or maps... not all the time but 50% of the time

Not crashing, but far from perfect This app went from a disaster that was rebooting my phone, to just a bad one. Playback can still drop, making mixes favorite does not work, UI is bloated. But it keeps improving so maybe one day...

Ciaran Gallagher February 10, 2017

Unusable as when the app is resumed after switching between apps the current song position restarts. This is a painful glitch considering most mixes are several hours long. It's then an annoying guessing game to figure out where to return to on the track. This issue has been present in the app for literally years. I emailed their support line 5 months ago and was told they were aware of the issue and working on a fix - but still nothing yet. What's going on?

Krisztian Balint June 28, 2017

Unfortunately the chromecast doesn't work. Shows it's connected, but the sound comes only from the tablet or smartphone. All my other apps with c.c. work as they should.

Viktorija Karakulko January 21, 2017

Dear mixcloud, I love the music and the whole concept but sometimes the app sucks! No new tracks are added to favorites when I favorite them on the app. Some tracks don't even play on app... What's the use of having the app if I cannot find the tracks I've enjoyed listening to before? Please fix it!

Fredrik Ekelund February 3, 2017

Mixcloud is nice as a platform, lots of good stuff on there, but the app has major issues with playback. Mixes will hang at exactly the same points every time they're played, and the player notification never goes away (until I force kill the app)

David Heath June 23, 2017

Good app however can no longer steam to Chromecast. It allows me to pick my Chromecast and I get an audio alert to say it's connected however when I press play it just plays on my phone instead of the Chromecast.

Michael Kelly March 28, 2017

The notification seems to work much better from the lock screen than it used to, though that may be because of my recent upgrade to a new phone running Nougat. It is still not possible to interact with the app properly with my Bluetooth headphone controls, though.

Bryan Wright March 22, 2017

Great in concept, wonderful way to get new music...but a lot of bugs with this app still. App will get stuck buffering, shut down randomly, lose spot when closed etc. Just needs some work and it can be great. One feature soundcloud has over it is the auto creation of curated station based on other mixes you listen to...would really love to see something similar here.

February 16, 2017

This app gives me access to an infinite amount of mixes that I otherwise would not be able to listen to. However it is extremely buggy. App starts on it's own, takes sound away from other apps, stops working randomly. I'm constantly relaunching it. Would love to have offline listening. Running on V20

Gareth Roper February 28, 2017

App seems to have gone worse over time, rather than better. Usually updates fix glitches yours seem to add them. Latest addition to the added glitches is when trying to skip to any part of any track it stops playing and can't be restarted. Shame as without these glitches it would be one of my favourite apps

Ian Kavanagh February 10, 2017

Good app I've used it for years with no problems but recently switch to android phone and there's so many problems with the app. I won't stop using it cause all my mixes are on it but these problems need to be fixed. Basically near the end of most of my mixes it skips back and forward through the mix.

some geezer April 7, 2017

Love the app, post mixes on it as knownasgar - one thing though, in settings, the notification toggles don't work. I can't turn on my notifications. Using Galaxy S5s on lollipop.

Jamie Guerin June 22, 2017

1.On the login page, when the keyboard comes up, the screen should adjust so that you can see what you're typing. 2.There's no password reset option on the app, have to go to desktop site. Otherwise pretty good :)

Darren Hayes February 20, 2017

Updated review to add additional star to acknowledge that this app has improved, but it still has some gripes. The app tends to forget what you were listening to if you stop playing a show for a while, sometimes defaulting to the show you previously listened to. This is pretty annoying. I'd probably go up to 5 stars if this could be addressed!

Paul Clasper January 17, 2017

I personally use this app for my DJ sets to share with people and find the apo cutting the music out of small chunks of my set yet it plays fine on the Pc. This is so frustrating for me and my listeners. Defo buggy! Other than that great service!

Bradley Weir May 22, 2017

this is by far the biggest app I have ever used on Android. Randomly plays, sometimes the cover art playing doesn't match the mix playing. Chromecast works MOST of the time, plays randomly even hours later will suddenly start playing, very annoying, and sometimes embarrassing, since it will start playing at the most inconvenient time. I wish I could give it 5 stars as I love the app.

Kevin Saunders January 8, 2017

Works with chrome cast audio Need work on the sync with chrome cast. If you come out of the app and go back in it can loose it's place. But this issue doesn't stop the music playing so I am happy, I can listen to DJ stylus and DJ dubL to my heart's content.

Mark Clark May 23, 2017

It enables you to listen to certain shows, but only if you can listen to the show non-stop in one sitting. If you pause playback, it starts back to the beginning of the show, making this app mostly useless. It's been this way forever. Why they can't address this in the app is beyond me.

Jonathan Martin April 21, 2017

Well now the connection doesn't drop all the time but for some reason the app doesn't save when I favorite a mix. Also, swiping back and forth mixes in the playlist viewer crashes the app every time.

Ramcharan Reddy April 12, 2017

After a long time came across a good radio / dj platform. Great idea & service without annoying pesky ads. Content in mixcloud is really good quality. Has few bugs & app crashes occasionally. But overall good app. Just go for it. Kudos to developers.

james lolment April 22, 2017

Great service without audio/video ads (just banners, in a relatively unobtrusive place). Currently the app cannot keep track of progress through a mix and is incompatible with the LG V20 - it does not seem to register as an audio application and therefore headphone controls don't work with it.

Kapitol Oner April 21, 2017

Remember when Mixcloud was an app for playing music? WELL NOT ANYMORE. If i wanted an app that does nothing but freeze I'd go back to Facebook in 2010

Kamil Chehab May 15, 2017

This app has a few problems that haven't been fixed and need to asap. It doesn't recognize the headphone buttons (play/pause) and it forgets which set i'm listening to when i press play again. The set starts from 0 again when i paused it some time further in the set. The UI needs serious improvement. Please do something asap. Many users are complaining like me on the same issues.

Patrick BOLTZE May 8, 2017

Works well. Particularly like how it resumes a mix from where I stopped it last time nearly flawlessly. However, the auto play function in the play queue (i.e. play mix 2 right after mix 1 with no action required from me) hasn't been working for many months now. Friend of mine's been having the same issue on iOS. That needs to be fixed.

Bog Stomper April 5, 2017

Still a very glitchy app although it has improved slightly. Once closed the app will open again with a mix I listened to days ago ready loaded instead of the most recent I was listening to. It will also keep putting a notification up showing what I was or often wasn't playing and it keeps reappearing even though I've swiped it away. Don't get these problems with SOUNDCLOUD... Please sort it out

Andrew Earnshaw March 6, 2017

Not sure if its just bad integration with the nexus 5x, but as much as i love the music, i hate this app. Closes whenever i use the back button, doesn't scroll between sets, stalls crashes, bad ux, just horrible. For gods sake sack your developer and get someone else in!!

Arjun Mistry June 26, 2017

Great app, desktop version plays through play list however android app does not. Stops after each mix. Also the track name does not update whilst playing through. Only after clicking of now playing and going back in does it update the current track that is playing.

Phil Glover March 23, 2017

The first time I used the app it worked fine. When I next came to use it it crashed. I have not been able to use it since. It crashed every time after signin continually saying Oops . I have now cleared the cache and signin just times out now.

Ben Macgregor January 23, 2017

I'd give 5 stars were it not for the fact that I can't pause the music via my headset button. Only app that doesn't have that feature as far as I can gather. But I'm stuck, as DJ Gleave's lost session mixes are no where else to be found.

Neil Hallam January 23, 2017

This app used to work fine, but something has changed. Now, it just hangs, won't refresh the feed, won't show any categories, won't show any profile info, won't show any settings info, etc, etc. I end up having to listen via the web page - so what is the point of the app?

Blair Murray May 4, 2017

I love the mixcloud platform and thankful it's there. However the app still needs alot of work, opens up multiple times instead of going back to where last left off, the notification widget continues play count even though have stopped music. Hope to see these annoying bits fixed one day.

Antal Bakó March 19, 2017

The app needs to be much better. The search engine is s***, I cannot find things, but I can with google. The music stops playing sometimes, and put random,not relevant stuff in the queue. I love mixcloud, but work on the app plz!

Jiteish Widhani January 3, 2017

Fix for a bug which caused the audio to sometimes play in the background when it shouldn't. Sorry for the inconvenience! Hope all our users had a wonderful festive period.
