By connecting through Bluetooth LE or the WM-Connect hardware accessory, users gain easy access to key functionality including metering, timecode display, audio recording start/stop, metadata editing, and track management on their Android smartphones or tablets.

User Reviews

Sound Devices Wingman is praised for its ease of use and convenience for note-taking and file naming when used with MixPre devices, especially on Google Pixel phones. However, several users report significant issues: the app forces location permissions for Bluetooth, raising privacy concerns; it frequently crashes or is unstable when handling long notes; connectivity problems persist requiring reconnection; and it lacks advanced control features such as gain adjustment, markers, and deep menu settings. Compatibility with some devices and firmware versions also remains problematic.

Pros

Easy to use and convenient for note-taking on tracks.
Works well with Google Pixel and certain MixPre devices.
Helpful for file naming and making notes against tracks.
Good basic functionality and useful for remote control of MixPre devices.

Cons

Requires location permission to enable Bluetooth connectivity, causing privacy concerns and battery drain.
App crashes or becomes unstable when entering long notes or editing metadata extensively.
Limited functionality: cannot change gain or fader levels, add markers, or fully control device settings.
Connectivity issues requiring constant reconnection when the phone screen turns off.
Incompatibility with some devices or firmware versions, leading to crashes or connection failures.

Wow, the first update in HOW many years? And you destroyed the File List usability for phones. Why would you do this?

Please update! When making notes on tracks it goes off screen and you can no longer see what you are writing if notes are longer than the initial screen. Scroll with cursor maybe?
