### 1/5 — Continua a non funzionare!

*2025-09-30, version 2.1.1*

Perché esiste questa app se non funziona più? Chi l’ha inventata, legge o no le recensioni?

### 1/5 — すぐフリーズ

*2025-03-07, version 2.1.1*

全然ダメ。まったくダメ。
2023年末に、公式ショップで買ったのに、一切説明なし。タスカムよ、なんとかしなさい。

あれから1年が過ぎ、今は2025年。とうとうアプリさえ開かなくなった。タスカムよ、どうなってんの？

### 4/5 — Freezes

*2024-10-09, version 2.1.1*

Oct. 2024: No improvements made so far. The app still freezes, Tascam support didn’t get it contact with me. A new handheld recorder for professional use is needed now, but I will certainly not by a Tascam anymore as being neglected by their support. Let’s see what Zoom has to offer.

2020:

Please update! The app constantly freezes. In fact, making it possible to use the recorder via a remote control was the strongest reason to buy a Tascam wireless recorder!

### 1/5 — 非常に残念です

*2024-08-11, version 2.1.1*

Wi-Fiで色々出来ると期待して、長年使って調子が悪くなってきたDR-5からDR-44WL ver2-Jに乗り換えてこのアプリを入れました。

使い方としては
①スタジオのwi-fiを使用して、バンド練習直後にクラウドに曲をアップロード
②iPhoneに曲をコピーして再生
③スタジオ録音時に遠隔操作
上記3点をメインに考えていました。

しかし、どれをやろうにも固まります。
①②についてはうまくいった時でも1〜2曲で固まるので、結局家のPCに繋がないとどうにもなりません。
また一括でのiPhoneへのコピーや一括アップロードが出来ないので非常にイライラします。
今どき再生も一曲ずつしか出来ず、バックグラウンド再生にも対応していないため、非常に使い勝手が悪いです。
自分のはiPhoneSE2なのでパワー不足なのかも知れませんが、それなら対応機種を明記して欲しいです。

これだったらBluetooth対応の他社製レコーダー買えば良かったかなぁ。
それなら楽器を持っているスタジオ帰りにワイヤレスイヤホンで聴きながら帰れるので。
DR-44WLは、大した機能を使うつもりもないのにデカいし電池も単三×4本と多く、ニッケル水素2,000mAhの減りも早いし。

Wi-Fi連携に期待していただけに非常に残念です。
バージョンアップで根本的な改善をしていただきたいですが、新しく開発する方が早いかも知れません。
早急に何とかして欲しいですが、最後のバージョンアップが7年前なので、もう期待出来ないんだすかねぇ……。

### 1/5 — App stürzt direkt beim Start ab

*2024-04-30, version 2.1.1*

Wirklich? Letztes Update war vor 7 Jahren? Damit ist die WiFi-Funktion faktisch gestorben. Ein NoGo bei der Preisklasse!

### 1/5 — フリーズして使えない

*2024-04-09, version 2.1.1*

iPhone8ではフリーズして使えなかった。
iPhone15に買い替えたので使えるかと思ったが全くかわらずフリーズするので本番では使えない。
いい加減に対策をとって欲しい。問題点はわかっているはず。

### 1/5 — Bad !

*2024-03-25, version 2.1.1*

Fix this!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-02-26, version 2.1.1*

I would have at least expected the app which only controls the dr44-wl to work… but it doesn’t… and the recorder wasn’t cheap too… the connection crashes after every recording.

### 1/5 — Did Not connect for dr22WL

*2023-12-18, version 2.1.1*

Dont know why but cannot connect to my dr22wl, dont even get any troubleshoot on how to solve this, very dissapointed

### 1/5 — Might just be the most buggy app I have ever encountered

*2023-11-19, version 2.1.1*

Doesn’t work 80% of the time. It’s lucky to even find my recorder. Usually can’t copy a file over without freezing part way through. Manages to freeze my dr-22 so I can’t even power it off I have to pull the batteries out. The app ALWAYS freezes. I would give it negative stars if I could.
