  1. [R4] Edjing Mix 1/5 · US …: When I first got the app in 2025 I was thrilled I loved how we could’ve used the stemz to control the music better and when I updated the app in 2026 I couldn’t use the stemz I had to pay for it I never thought in a million years that I would have to pay for this just to control music but I recommend yall put it back how it was cause I’m not paying for that if I would’ve known this I would’ve b

  19. [R31] Edjing Mix 2/5 · US You can’t record anymore: What’s the use of having this app especially when I subscribe to it I can’t even record audio video. I can’t even send it out to my friends and family. This is very frustrating. Is there anybody in here? That’s witnessing the same results that I am going through why all of a sudden you cannot record explain
  20. [R46] Edjing Mix 1/5 · US Warning: Don’t Update the app: Do you realize you can no longer record any of your mixes anymore. After over 10 years of being able to record your own mixes now you can’t. So the app is useless now.
  21. [R49] Edjing Mix 1/5 · US Years using this app what happened: This app has gone down now that you can’t save audio even if it’s music you uploaded from your own files that’s original
  22. [R71] Mixcloud 5/5 · US Mixcloud is great!: So many apps ruined by pop ups and ads. Not this one! If the genre’s of music featured are your cup of tea…it’s a really good app! I use it a lot and totally recommend it for anyone into ambient, house, etc. It’s awesome.
  23. [R74] Mixcloud 5/5 · US Super great: This app it’s so awesome. The best music app specially if you hate adds. 👌 totally 10/10
  24. [R64] Mixcloud 2/5 · US Good to Bad to Ugly: MixCloud was one of my favorite apps for many years. Unfortunately it has gone from, Good to Bad to Ugly. The basic functionality was excellent for many years. Then inconsistencies crept in and increased throughout 2025. Frustrating, it is and has been for several months of 2026. Often I would share links for streams, several times a day. Now it rarely works well for mo
  25. [R75] Mixcloud 3/5 · US Good service, rotting app: A decent service that hosts some great DJ sets. Unfortunately, the app is slowly being stripped of features. The ability to see what track is currently playing beyond a truncated title that might not even display the artist was made a premium feature a few months ago, and in a recent update the buttons for skipping forward and backward by 30 seconds were stripped out. I
  26. [R91] Mixcloud 2/5 · US High Quality of music, Low quality of life.: Downloaded the app a couple years ago now, you could download 2 or 3 tracks for free offline play, no fast forward restrictions, no subscription required. Now you’ve gotta pay if you want to use the skip ahead button more than 6 times a day. Sad how the app has fallen out of shape due to unfettered greed.
  27. [R103] Mixcloud 1/5 · US Does this app EVER work?: Every day I try to use this app and 90% of the time it does NOT work. Maybe if it’s uninstalled and reinstalled it might consider working but who has time for that? I don’t even have anything else running on my phone, the von is off and everything is updated so there is no reason why it doesn’t work. Not sure why I bother trying EVERY SINGLE DAY
