## Review summary

Users report significant problems with the F2 Control app, including frequent crashes and Bluetooth connection failures that prevent device pairing. The app lacks critical functions such as input level metering, SD card formatting, and device time setting, forcing reliance on desktop software. Managing multiple devices is cumbersome due to inconsistent device naming and absence of multi-device control features. Overall, users express frustration with unreliable performance and limited app capabilities, diminishing the value of the Bluetooth-enabled Zoom F2 devices.

- Bluetooth connectivity is unreliable, with devices not appearing in the app's device list or losing connection during recording.
- Limited functionality of the app, such as inability to monitor input levels, format SD cards, or set date/time from the app, requiring use of desktop software.
- App interface issues, including confusing or changing device naming conventions, making it difficult to manage multiple devices.
- Lack of support for controlling multiple F2-BT recorders simultaneously or switching between them easily.
