User Reviews

Overall, Wingman is valued for strong hardware integration, fast pairing, and useful remote control/metadata features when it works. However, reliability is a major concern: frequent crashes, data loss, and long-standing compatibility issues with iOS updates and certain Sound Devices gear. UI bugs and Bluetooth glitches further degrade the experience. The product shows promise for field monitoring and workflow efficiency, but ongoing updates and robust stability are essential.

Pros

Strong integration with Sound Devices hardware, enabling easy remote control and logging.
Fast pairing and straightforward connection to the hardware.
Remote control and metadata features, including scene/take changes and notes via Bluetooth keyboard.
Helpful for monitoring levels and adjusting recordings in the field.
Landscape mode support on iPad improves usability.

Cons

Frequent crashes on startup or when opening the app, often after iOS updates.
Logs and recordings can disappear or be wiped after recording sessions.
Lack of ongoing updates; compatibility issues with newer iOS versions and hardware.
Compatibility issues with specific hardware models (e.g., 633, MixPre series) and Bluetooth interference.
UI typing bugs and input limitations (short notes, invisible text after a few words).

Recent reviews

Disappointed with this app now. I have been using it for quite some time. It was sufficient in the beginning and worked really well ,but now I’m having trouble. It doesn’t load properly. I haven’t seen any improvements in the app for as long as I’ve been using it. I’m disappointed. Sound Devices has not updated.

After an entire day of shooting and nearly 100 logs recorded, all the logs disappeared. Wiped out for no reason. This is the most pathetic app that there is. If you want all you work to go to waste this is your app.
