## Description

RØDE Reporter is the intuitive recording companion designed to capture and publish broadcast‑quality audio on the go. It supports native sharing, variable bitrate for long recordings or high‑definition output, and on‑screen branding flags for quick identity.

Key features include high‑resolution 48kHz recording (up to 24‑bit/96kHz with compatible mics), compatibility with built‑in and external mics (TRRS, i‑XY, i‑XLR, etc.), real‑time waveform display, WAV/MP3/AAC formats with optional VBR, and a switchable dark theme for night or conference use, plus native iOS sharing.

## Review summary

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.
