User Reviews

Playback is highly valued for its ease of use and church-focused features, but stability issues from updates and pricing concerns hinder its reliability for some users. The app offers powerful multitrack and MIDI capabilities that can greatly aid worship planning, yet improvements in reliability, feature access, and pricing clarity are needed.
Pros
  • Intuitive, easy-to-use interface that is mobile-friendly and beginner-friendly.
  • Powerful multitrack features, including real-time editing, MIDI control, and Chart Builder/remote control integration.
  • Great for worship teams and church planning, enabling quick access to tracks and streamlined rehearsals.
  • Reliable performance with ongoing updates and improvements.
  • Strong support from the developer and long-term user confidence.
Cons
  • Persistent glitches and section repeats/overlaps after updates, reducing reliability.
  • Removal or gating of remote cloud editing without an extra Playback Premium seat.
  • Pricing and subscription model perceived as expensive and complex; limited or no demos on Mac.
  • Missing advanced features like per-track fades, multi-channel output, and flexible audio routing.
  • Notable learning curve when mastering the full feature set.

DO NOT PAY FOR THE PREMIUM through the Apple Store!! I paid for it and it would not give me the premium features inside of Playback! It messed up our Sunday morning setlist due to not being able to edit sections within the song which is a premium feature. Reached out to customer support and they did not care to refund me even after showing proof of the issue. Buy the subscription through the actual multitracks website instead!

The app looks so simple when you open it up that it’s surprising just how much it can actually do. If all you’re doing is loading tracks and hitting play, I strongly suggest looking up videos on how to use the app and all its features. The fact that you can do so much even on your phone is amazing. Some small suggestions I’d like to add: I’d love a feature to double tap a slider to return it back to its default setting. Occasionally, I’ll remove or edit a track level and wish that I could return to the original, but it’s near impossible to get it perfect. Also, on mobile, adding an automation to the very end of the song is pretty difficult because the wave only slides so far. The fix is to do it from other devices and save to cloud, but I’m hoping such a tiny fix might be fairly feasible. Lastly, the ability to zoom in or change the scale on the wave would also be helpful. Especially on smaller screens like mobile. Perhaps it could be a feature while the track isn’t playing just to simplify the demand while it’s active, but I digress a little. All in all, I love Playback and all its features. I took the time to learn it all and the team absolutely loves how much we can do with it. Keep up the incredible work!
