Awesome up!
Use Rode’s USB C to lightning cable to connect to iPhone…it works great!
Just make sure to also update software on your Mac and also the Rode II mics and receiver.

Tricky to setup the first time
This was frustrating at first. The UX is lacking. But after taking all the steps it did work!
1. Update Rode Central on your computer. There is no way to do this without downloading and reinstalling the app (no “search for updates” within the app). I had an older version, so this faked me out at first.
2. Factory reset the receiver from Rode Central on your computer. You can’t just install the firmware. You’ve got to reset it first then make sure the firmware is up to date.
3. Update firmware for each transmitter from Rode Central on your computer.
4. Connect the powered on receiver to your phone (I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro Max) using the ROSC15 cable. I waited a couple of months to get this cable (back ordered) but I love it. Makes interface with the iPhone so easy.
5. Power on the transmitters.
6. Everything should show correctly in the app now. All my setting adjustments worked fine.

Need to update Rode Central
You need to update Rode Central. With the new version you will see the new firmware updates. The existing version of rode central won't prompt you for the new version of the firmware.
Shameful.
Nearly 8 months after the product release, we finally get a mobile Rode Central that was promised to be "coming soon" when the product was announced. After a monumental wait, we still can’t transfer files to our iOS devices. We still can’t listen to our recordings without a computer. The desktop app still does not have batch options. The 32-bit float of the device still clips audio. This amazing product does not live up to the specifications that the company stated and the software’s lack of real world usability is a joke. I’m beyond disappointed. If any third party developers are listening, I’d pay $100 for an app that would let me batch offload the uncompressed audio from this device to my iPad. I can’t wait for Røde to get their act together.

Updated and it still doesn’t work
I updated both my sets of wg2 and neither of them are connecting. Description doesn’t say anything about needing the ride sc-15 but I’m sure that’s the case. So our perfectly fine lightning to type c cables provided to us by apple aren’t going to work because you want us to spend more money on an accessory that’s not even available anywhere. It’s been sold out for months, or it’s just not been released yet. So you release the app, and make it impossible to use without the cable you want us to buy, but we can’t buy the cable because no one carries it.

Iphone 13 mini
Didnt connect with my iphone 13 mini but with ipad no issues.
Won’t connect
Yep, despite having the latest firmware on my Rode Wireless Go 2 sets, and using decent cables this app does not connect!
Doesn’t Work
Won’t connect to devices even using cable from Apple. Like another reviewer said, they’re wanting us to buy the $25 SC15 cable for $25, which also happens to be on back order everywhere. Makes me want to return my Rode devices!
Doesn’t work
Did everything I was supposed to like everyone else has and it doesn’t work with my iPhone.
Rode is usually pretty good about customer feedback and fixing things so hopefully they see these app reviews and fix it.

Fantastic addition!
Not 100% obvious, need to download latest Rode connect for Mac, then update all 3 devices to latest version, then connect the receiver to the iPad and it shows both transmitters and receivers and allows changing settings, great to have this on the road, thank you Rode for constantly improving the product!
