User Reviews

RØDE Reporter is praised for potential and ad-free, high‑quality recordings and mic identification, but faces frequent reliability problems (recording failures, crashes), inconsistent mic detection (notably AI Micro), and feature gaps (background playback, naming formats, editing). Users also report data loss or duplicated files after updates and limited support. The main requests are for stability, better device integration, and more recording controls.

Pros

I love this app.
High-quality recordings (ad-free) when it works.
Identifies the connected Rode microphone.

Cons

Unreliable recording performance: app often doesn’t record, stops recording, or hangs/crashes.
AI Micro/Rode mic detection is unreliable and often fails to register the device.
Missing essential features: background playback, customizable file naming, and basic editing.
Data loss or file duplication after updates (wiped files, duplicated files).
Limited ongoing support and frequent update regressions.

I love this app. I have a change request. Please name saved files something sane like, YYYY-MM-DD_hhmmss.wav Twenty-four hour time. No spaces, no commas, no other punctuation characters. Yes, I know, I can rename the files but that is a pain to do on the phone. Would be so much nicer if it were sane in the first place. Bonus points, let the user specify a custom format using, for example, format specifiers for the c library function, strftime(). Also, document the interaction (or non-interaction?) between Rode reporter app and Rode central app. Seems like reporter does not honor settings made in rode central - mic gain on the Rode AI-micro for example.

Requests: 1) make it play recordings in the background 2) use the current location and date/time for names, like ios voice memos. 3) make the waveform larger, it’s really tiny, i can’t see if it peaks 4) oh there’s no way to edit the recording…
