  • Good but needs to be updated

    Please update this app. It needs mp3 functionality at the very least.

    Thank you.
  • Wonderful App - but…

    Being a professional sound tech, I searched for a long time for no-frills professional recording app. Hindenburg does the job. A no-nonsense interface fills the screen the moment the app opens up. Setting levels is a snap and the volume level indicators make it obvious immediately whether you’re recording in mono or stereo. Sharing files is also just what you’d expect from a well-designed app. Hindenburg has just what I need - and even more importantly - I don’t have to wade through a bunch of cartoon-like garbage to make a recording.

    One MAJOR omission, though (which is forcing me to use another app) is its lack of ability to recognize and use a Bluetooth mic. If you fix this one fault, I’ll come back home to Hindenburg… thx

  • Nice but no mp3

    It’s everything you would want except a lot of audio is required to be mp3. I’m surprised that it’s not available. Other than that it’s great.
  • Brilliant!

    I use Hindenburg on my computer to record my podcast and now I have this field recorder which works awesomely. Thanks for all your good work. Watch the YouTube video tutorials to learn how to use it. It’ll take you less than 10 minutes and you’ll be good to go.
  • Transferring files can be a problem

    I’ve been trying to transfer audio files from this app to Hindenburg Lite on my laptop. Still not working after weeks of trying and waiting for technical support from the developers.
  • Use it with Hindi Journalist

    If you think it’s expensive think again. This is a professional reporters app. You can send recordings to email in seconds. If you use it in conjunction with the Hindenburg Journalist app magic happens. The noise reduction filter is simply amazing. And voice leveller within the Hindi Journalist is beyond comprehension. It is that good. You’ll not get eq facilities on Field Recorder but the compressor works 101%. This is a solid recorder which does everything with simplicity. No frills, open the app and record. Finish the recording and edit. Send the edit to any email address or download onto any audio editing software. But Hindenburg Journalist or Journalist Pro is perfect. Great app for the professional journalist.

  • No integration with Journalist

    One of the reasons I got this was that it is supposed to work with Journalist Pro. There is not an easy and straightforward means to import directly into Journalist. The import an iOS feature in Journalist does not even work.
  • Really want to like this...

    On my iPhone 6S plus with IOS 11, the gain slider is almost invisible!! And doesn’t appear to do anything.

    Gain control is THE reason to use this app, along with the excellent metering.

    Where are the undo/redo controls?

    Editing is just weird.

    Would love if I could get some support...

    Developer Response

    Hi Tom, There is loads of support available at hindenburg.com/support - please feel free to hit us up there. We are always happy to help. Regarding the slider, due to a change in iOS 11, that only works with an external mic now unfortunately - this is not something that we can fix as it is related to a recent limitation on access to the built-in AGC on internal mics. We have great video tutorials on how to edit at hindenburg.com/support/tutorials. Hope that helps?
  • Elegant

    An attractive program with a simple and elegant interface. Its best feature is the way it quickly and seamlessly transfers files to the Desktop version of Hindenberg Journalist, along with any markers. (This capability was broken in a previous version of the iOS app, but is now fixed and works well). Add a good mic to your iPhone, and, as the app name suggests, you have a pretty good field recorder.

  • This is an ideal field recorder

    This is an ideal field recorder. Foolproof recording, and surprisingly robust editing functionality. Direct integration with the desktop app make this a no-brainer.
    I wish all apps had this great functional design and power.
