FLOW Mix

Please fix it crashing during the input set up page.

It’s nice they made an app for the Flow right at launch but I really hope they are not done with the app. The most glaring usability problem to me is how buried the mute buttons are. Even on the “Stage” view you can SEE the mute state of a channel with a big icon, but you can’t change it. Huh?! Who thought that was a good idea? Only way to mute a channel is go to Mixer screen, tap channel header then tap the mute button buried in there. If you need to quickly mute two or three channels, too bad. UPDATE: at least in the current version you can get to the mute button by tapping on a channel, but you still can’t see the mute state on the main faders screen!! Other than that, the EQ UI is pretty terrible. They should know how to do it right since the eq controls for their x32 and Air mixers are all decent. There’s also quite a bit of lag between changes made in the app and when the mixer actually makes the change, making it very easy to overshoot your target level. A few places they have this weird UI paradigm of where if you tap on a control a full-screen slider widget pops up. That’s disorienting and really unhelpful. Just do it like countless other iOS music apps and let us drag on the screen without hiding everything behind a giant slider.

The app overall is great and well laid out but, it does not any good when it constantly crashes and has glitches as letting you move faders in app and on the mixer with no difference in sound. The eq frequencies on all the channels will set to zero for no apparent reason and when you load certain presets, you cannot access the preferences as the app crashes every time you click on the tab. This makes this thing not usable and pretty much a waste of money. I think I will be sending it back and getting something else.
