## Review summary

Users praise Impact by Focusrite for high-quality audio and a solid interface, including travel-friendly recording. However, recurring rotation/orientation bugs, export/share crashes, and iOS compatibility problems undermine reliability. Feature gaps like iPad support, vertical video, and gallery import also appear. Overall, the app shows potential but stability and missing functionality hinder a consistently positive experience.

### Pros

- Excellent audio quality with strong built-in effects for video recordings.
- Solid recording performance and a usable interface.
- Good option for travel recording.

### Cons

- Frequent rotation/orientation issues that disrupt recording (forced landscape, rotation lock problems, stuck rotation icon).
- Exporting and sharing problems (render freezes/crashes) with limited options (save to camera roll only).
- Ongoing iOS compatibility issues across updates and devices (crashes or non-working after updates).
- Missing essential features and workflow gaps (no iPad recording, no vertical video support, no easy gallery import).
