Single recording
The app only allows 1 recording, to record another take it requirers closing the app and rebooting, terrible waste of time.
If you’re wondering what this app is technically for
This is technically for the IQ series zoom series of Zoom microphones.
I hope this helps you on this app. It’s still a good app overall though.

Needs a lot of work
The fact that you can’t name your files in the Zoom app is puzzling and the main reason not to use this app. Trimming tracks is also difficult. The fact you can only do certain functions in horizontal mode is a bummer. Zoom, please rework and update to make this thing more useful to musicians.
Devs - heed the reviews
Im looking to update my old TASCAM iM2 mic for iOS to avoid having 2 separate devices. I saw the ZOOM iQ series mics and decided to see what the app reviews said.
What I see is a long list of reasons I should not buy anything from ZOOM, so I guess it’s back to TASCAM iM2 until I decide to buy a separate device. When the time comes, I will now avoid ZOOM products at all costs.

No longer compatible with latest ios17
I understand the lightning is an outdated format. But like many here I used to use my zoom microphone for recording video and audio and I'm sad to find out it's no longer working on iOS17 with lightning enabled devices. Used to be my favorite recorder now no longer functions. Please bring back compatibility!

Five+ years of an abysmal app
Five+ years of 1- and 2-star reviews that are still going strong to this day. Another example of a big corporation who doesn’t care about their customers as long as the physical product sells. (The mic itself is great, so it does sell.)
The app is terrible. You can’t name files. You can’t edit them. The upside down interface for recording is useless because they never bothered to update it for the iPhones’ notch and pill designs. (You also have to dive to the bottom of the settings to find it.) You can’t stop and start recording on a single recording.
There are way too many unnecessary tabs and weird places to access important things, like getting back to the main recording screen from a tiny “home” icon way in the corner furthest from your thumb.
Unless you truly need WAV files (which I don’t want taking up my iPhone storage anyway), just use Voice Memos, which captures the high quality stereo audio perfectly in a thousand times better interface, with way more functionality.

App literally just doesn’t do what its supposed to
App doesn’t record. I have to use my Apple voice memos app to use the hardware that I purchased that was made to work with this app. So I know the microphone works because it works with the Apple app but it has never worked with the zoom app and I’ve been trying for years.
Noises and interference
I have been using the mic and app for some time now and in the beginning it worked quite well. More recently it is impossible to record anything. The noises are non stop and no matter how many time I try to restart recording, the sound keeps full of interferences.
Updated the app but it did not change anything.

How do I use this app?
Does anyone know where I can find the manual to use this app? I’ve hunted their website high & low, and I can’t find anything.
Poor file sharing options
Does not support Files app or share to app functionality available in iOS, which is extremely limiting and out of date. Otherwise easy to use and seems to work well /as described. Am yet to check sound quality of recordings.
