Great app

Now working with Zoom F6 is so easier.

Works well

I’m not sure why the negative reviews. This app works great. I have an iPhone 14 and 16 with the latest updates, and have never had trouble connecting. Once it’s connected, it is a much easier to use interface than the tiny one on the F6. Inside it from my iPad Pro, where the extra screen real estate is used well.

One suggestion: I wish Zoom would update this and put a LOCK on the controls. Especially with the iPad, it’s difficult to pick up the iPad without touching the screen. I’m constantly terrified I’m accidentally going to hit the STOP button when picking up the iPad and end my recording. While I’m recording, I want to lock the controls so I can’t easily press buttons I don’t intend to, and just use the app to monitor levels.

No Good

They have abandoned support for their products. Sad. This once worked.

Useless

I can’t believe Zoom still has not updated their app. What’s the point of having the Bluetooth option if it’s not going to work.

Works great

Wish there was a way to monitor but honestly works great for field work.

Saw others having issues connecting, just make sure you are selecting the proper option on your Zoom F6 Bluetooth menu when connecting.
