User Reviews

Users praise the app for working with external Rode mics and delivering good quality recordings, with ongoing feature updates. However, it is plagued by export/share and transfer problems, stability and playback issues, inconsistent bit-depth handling, device/mic compatibility problems, and cumbersome file access from within the app. These recurring issues dominate user sentiment and hinder practical use.

Pros

Supports external USB microphones and audio interfaces (e.g., Rode AI-Micro, NT-USB Mini) for high-quality on-the-go recording.
Generally good sound quality for recordings and is perceived as simpler to use compared to some alternatives.
Receives ongoing updates that add support for new Rode microphones and features.

Cons

Export/sharing/transfer issues: frequent 1KB errors, recordings not easily accessible or transferable, reliance on cloud uploads or cloud-based sharing rather than direct device transfer.
Stability and playback problems: app crashes, stops playback when the screen loses focus, stops recording when the screen turns off, and monitoring can misbehave.
Bit-depth/format inconsistencies: reports of 32-bit WAV claims not reflecting true depth (24/16-bit) and mixed results across devices.
Compatibility problems with certain devices/mics: some Rode wireless mics and Android devices (e.g., Motorola) don’t work reliably, along with monitoring issues (mono only).
File storage/transfer limitations: recordings seem stored inside the app with no easy direct download or cable transfer option, making sharing/importing cumbersome.
