Accidentally tap ‘no’ and it is lost forever, so bear that in mind if you plan on using the app to report from a breaking news scene. There are a couple of niggles with the interface – for example, when you finish recording, you’re asked if you want to save the broadcast to your showreel. In many ways, Mixlr feels more at home on a phone than in a desktop browser and the whole experience is presented beautifully. Once you’re listening, you can engage in text chat with other listeners.
There was plenty being broadcast when we gave the app a try, so who knows what you might stumble upon. Everything from acoustic folk to world music via house and rock is covered, while the broadening of Mixlr’s scope is reflected via its Spoken Word section.
The London-based startup relaunched in March with a focus on “making the live experience as fun and interactive as possible.” It’s an approach that has garnered it a claimed 14,000 monthly broadcasters and over 500,000 unique listeners each month, and it has been carried through to the iPhone version, which crams the whole experience into the palm of your hand.įrom the opening screen, you can dive straight into the array of ongoing broadcasts from users, categorised by genre. Mixlr, the live audio broadcasting service aimed initially at DJs and musicians but now embracing all sorts of audio producers, is going mobile today with the launch of its first iPhone app.
