Review summary

Users widely praise TrailMix for cadence-based music syncing and improving workouts, and for using their full music library without distortion. Many appreciate beat-to-pace matching and overall motivation. Common concerns include lack of Apple Watch support, cadence drift bugs, buffering/skip issues, and confusion around playlist curation. A few updates have fixed bugs quickly, but watch integration and stability across devices remain top requests.

Pros

Excellent cadence/beat syncing that matches your running pace.
Improves running enjoyment and motivation.
Works with your full music library without distortion.
Lets you play an entire playlist instead of preselecting tracks.

Cons

No Apple Watch support; users want watch integration.
Cadence can drift and slow down, not staying at the set BPM.
Increased buffering and interruptions during playback.
Music can skip when changing intensity.
Hard to understand how the app curates playlists (BPM mapping).

2026-02-22	HA*****	Love the app, have been using for over a year. First time today having issues - cadence is set but the music slows down and doesn’t stay at the set 180 beats after a couple of songs have played. Please please fix this - messed up my run today. Love this app and will really appreciate the fixed cadence again.

2023-07-07	Cr*****	As a quick walker for nearly 40 years, I have made cassettes, cds, and playlists of songs with the appropriate bpm for my pace. Now I can use my whole music library with no distortion! I’m in Heaven!

2021-08-08	GA*****	Love this app, there’s really no better when it comes to adjusting your music to your cadence . The on thing it really lacks is support with Apple Watch. It’s the only reason I still run w my phone, but would really love not to and just use my watch. Please add this functionality!

2017-07-10	Aq*****	The app itself is fine. The issue I previously reported, about strange home screen text, was resolved by the next update within just a few days and everything is great now!

2014-02-22	al*****	I do enjoy this app, but it used to be way better. Recently it went from maybe one buffer every four or five songs to twenty buffers per song. I don't know if it's because of an upgrade or what, but it's really aggravating. Hopefully it's something that'll be fixed soon.
