MixTape Audio Sync Hack 1.0.1 + Redeem Codes

The app is the only way to get certain files to copy and play on the Apple Watch. That’s a great thing.

App has a lot of little (surmountable) issues to put up with in the process of getting files copied to the watch.

No way to see file name so for multi part books can’t tell which part is which.

Can’t have file folders. All files lumped into one list.

Sync is kinda janky. Had to quit watch app and restart to see a newly added file.

Files appear to get re-encoded at a much worse audio quality when xferred to the Watch. Very poor, very noticeable. For me, not listenable.

Book chapters cannot be viewed or selected on Watch. Good luck figuring out where you are.

Tiny ‘back’ button in Watch, fail to hit the right target 80% if the time.

Crown spin back/fwd is nice feature.

Overall: bad

Cool idea. But, downloading your audio files does require an Internet connection. This is OK, but when I have no service and still want to sync podcasts that I already downloaded on the phone to the watch, it just can't be done over Bluetooth, It requires an active Internet connection. In fact, the app won't do anything if there's no Internet connection. Sometimes I like to do stuff with GarageBand and other audio editing apps but would like a way to sync that file to the watch without Internet. Also when you sync files to the watch with this app, the audio sounds mono and compressed, what happened to the stereo quality of my music? It's great for Podcasts but not necessarily for music. Will stick to using iTunes to sync my music to the watch for now, But will use this for Podcasts and Voice stuff..

I’ve listened to two audiobooks with it. I wish it had volume controls, but somehow always switched out of app to the now playing widget, which has volume. Now playing widget next/previous buttons not optimized for audiobooks, however. They jump whole tracks, rather than jump seconds, so you have to switch back to app to rewind. But it works!

At first books showed up on watch but never fully download. The developer quickly fixed this. Issues to continue to improve the app include:
- there doesn’t seem to be a way to get book files to play in the correct order.
- variable speed playback.
- a companion iPhone player that syncs position with the watch would be a good add.
- I haven’t been able to get the iCloud sync to work correctly with books.

It works, just that.

Often crash.
No way to put files directly from computer other than using iCloud Drive.
No way to sync a playlist.
No way to adjust the playing order.
No way to display the sync state or played state while batch removing from iPhone.
No way to issue auto download after push files from iPhone. Too many steps need to be done manually.
Need 3D Touch to delete file from Apple Watch which may not be able to use in next release.
For a file without tag, displayed as unknown without file name taken place.

Giving the app 5 stars because I want to love it, I love how easy it is to use, but the quality of the music isn’t great. Can you give me advice on what’s the best way to format the music ?

Tried m4a, m4b, podcasts, etc and none worked. Crashed the app/etc. Not polished.

The only thing that worked for me is .mp3. It DID work seamlessly and snappy. It solved a problem for me to put my workout audio onto my watch, so it does get stars but this app claims it does more than it does.

I was able to upload my 5k training mp3s to the app. No issue so far and no need for iTunes. Pretty great solution.

I synced two audio files via iCloud. One was an MP3, the other a WAV. Tried to play them on the watch, but the the audio does not play. The playback marker simply does not move. Not the best first impression. I think I'm going to get my money back.

Essential for me as it’s the only way to sync M4b audiobooks onto your Apple Watch that I know of. Works great!
