Mac users: how-to make sure you have the latest version of our broadcast app

TLDR: from today, Mac users should download and update your Mixlr app directly from our website, instead of the Mac App Store.

We have distributed the Mac version of the Mixlr broadcast app through the Mac App Store since December 2013.

While the Mac App Store offers some benefits, it also adds a lot of friction to the development and distribution of the app. We have also had many reports of broadcaster problems which have been traced back to limitations imposed by Apple.

Ultimately, ensuring the Mixlr broadcast app continues to be stable and reliable is our single most important goal for our broadcasters. Therefore, we stopped updating the Mac App Store over the last few months and have now removed our broadcast app from the store entirely.

Broadcasters can now download the Mac broadcast app directly from our website. Please note that the app is still securely signed by Mixlr’s existing certificate, so you can be sure that the software you install on your Mac is completely safe.

To update to the latest version of the broadcast app, please download and install it from here.

If you find your old settings and showreel recordings are missing, you can find help on how to restore them here.
