## Description

F6 Control is an app that enables remote control of the ZOOM F6.
With it, you can use an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (6th generation and later) as a wireless remote controller for an F6.
Note: A ZOOM BTA-1 is also necessary to operate an F6 with F6 Control.
In addition to the fundamental operations of starting/stopping recording/playback and searching forward/backward, this app allows the adjustment of trim levels and mixer pan and fader settings.
You can also use it to monitor input levels, timecode information and remaining battery charge.
Moreover, using this app, you can input characters from the iOS device to edit file names and add metadata as well as transfer date and time information for use when recording.

Features
■ Control an F6 that is inside a protective case
-During field recording, you can check and control levels using the device in your hand without needing to look into the protective case on the F6.

■ Create monitor mixes easily
-Using the mixer screen that supports multi-touch, you can easily create monitor mixes as though using a traditional mixer.

■ Input metadata
-Using the iOS device keyboard, you can input all types of metadata. You can even type long entries without hassle.

■Set the date and time
-The F6 date and time can be adjusted to match that of the iOS device. This allows you to set the time accurately with ease.

## Review summary

The F6 Control app can simplify using the Zoom F6 by providing easier navigation and track labeling, especially on iPad, and can support field-work workflows when it connects. However, repeated themes across reviews show long-standing maintenance issues: the app is not updated for current iOS, struggles with Bluetooth pairing (password prompts, blank screens), and often fails to connect or control the recorder. The Bluetooth dongle is frequently unreliable, and users point out missing essential features and workflow tools.

### Pros

- Easier to use and navigate than the F6's built-in interface, especially on iPad.
- Useful for field work; helps with monitoring levels and labeling tracks.
- When properly set up with updated firmware, it can connect and control the F6.
- Labeling and organizing metadata improves workflow.

### Cons

- App hasn't been updated for years and compatibility with latest iOS versions is poor, with apparent abandonment of support.
- Persistent Bluetooth pairing issues: missing password prompts, blank/white screens, and inability to control or finish pairing.
- Bluetooth adapter often unusable or unreliable, leading to wasted money.
- Missing essential features and workflow controls (e.g., rename folders/tracks, lock controls, history, reports).
- Some users experience intermittent disconnects or device disappearance in the app.
