Crash hell

Unusable after the latest iOS update.

Unintuitive and difficult to use

No gain control for iPhone mic, tc only for one brand of device (at extra cost). Why not use phone clock? Iwatch interface doesn’t work. Just not worth bothering with when there are better apps available.

Deserves 5 stars

Works as advertised. Worked perfectly for me.

Pls fix the app.

Pls fix all the bugs. I am using Apogee duet 2. Input monitor not functioning well.

UGH IT HAS TO BE SO SHORT!

Omg it has the shortest time limit im deleting 🙄

Fantastic FCPXML support

I use this a bit of live logging during multicam shoots. I record the audio, placing markers in recordings and then sync those makers with my Multicam clip in Final Cut Pro. A fantastic solution.

“Booby trapped” App!

This app “punished” me for not using their proprietary mic by ruining my interview!
I had set up an important shot with a special guest, and chose the Countryman lav mic instead of the Sennheiser mic. But the vindictive app stopped recording after 60 seconds - unbeknownst to me -to punish me for using another company’s mic! I lost an crucial piece of audio because the developers thought they would “outsmart” me and “teach me a lesson”. Well the lesson is learned: don’t use the Apogee app- use another app that is upfront about user privileges and works the way you expect it to when working on once-in-a-lifetime interviews!

Is this app supported any more?

It doesn’t look like it as the Dropbox connection no longer works. Pair this with their mke2 digital at $400 and you can’t even move files to Dropbox anymore. This was a really good app but all it takes is not updating it to fall to the bottom of the barrel.

UPDATE: 9/17/2018
They have fixed the issues with drop box, and once again this is my app of choice for recoding!

Thank you for listening.

Essential for HQ portable recording

I have several Apogee audio devices for recording and playback, and Metarecorder is a great tool for putting all my HQ audio material together. The Dropbox integration is extremely useful since I’m a heavy Dropbox user as well, and the new upgrade makes usage even smoother. Very happy with this application and with Apogee’s thoughtful design!

Awesome for field recording

I use this with the apogee 3D surround headset mics to record in car audio ambience while shooting races. It’s easy to use but still professional which is great in stressful situations. Great feature is the ability to drop markers on the fly and also type in notes that show up in final cut. Also linking 3 phones with different mics to one master is an amazing idea that works well
