## What is F6 Control?

F6 Control is an app that enables remote control of the ZOOM F6.
With it, you can use an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (6th generation and later) as a wireless remote controller for an F6.
Note: A ZOOM BTA-1 is also necessary to operate an F6 with F6 Control.
In addition to the fundamental operations of starting/stopping recording/playback and searching forward/backward, this app allows the adjustment of trim levels and mixer pan and fader settings.
You can also use it to monitor input levels, timecode information and remaining battery charge.
Moreover, using this app, you can input characters from the iOS device to edit file names and add metadata as well as transfer date and time information for use when recording.

Features
■ Control an F6 that is inside a protective case
-During field recording, you can check and control levels using the device in your hand without needing to look into the protective case on the F6.

■ Create monitor mixes easily
-Using the mixer screen that supports multi-touch, you can easily create monitor mixes as though using a traditional mixer.

■ Input metadata
-Using the iOS device keyboard, you can input all types of metadata. You can even type long entries without hassle.

■Set the date and time
-The F6 date and time can be adjusted to match that of the iOS device. This allows you to set the time accurately with ease.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-05-20, version 1.2.00*

Now working with Zoom F6 is so easier.

### 5/5 — BLUETOOTH DEVICESウィンドウが繰り返し表示されると投稿された方へ

*2025-03-30*

F6本体の“Bluetooth”の項目の中には“F6 Control”が２つあると思います。そのうちの上の段の“F6 Control”は、記載のとおり“iOS9〜12”用です。F6コントロールに使用したいMac製品がiOS9〜12ではないのであれば、下の段の“F6 Control（注釈なし）”をタップしてiPhoneまたはiPadとBluetooth接続してみてください。パスワードを入れる必要もなく、スムーズに接続できると思います。

### 5/5 — Works well

*2025-03-02, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 1/5 — F6には接続出来るが以降の操作が出来ない

*2025-02-06*

BLUETOOTH DEVICESウィンドウで表示された数字をタップすると、ウィンドウが閉じ、直後にBLUETOOTH DEVICESウィンドウが表示される。ウィンドウには何も表示されず、ウィンドウを閉じることもできず、何も操作できない。
F6で接続を選択するとすでに接続されていますと表示される。
ペアリングは出来ているようだが、アプリの操作が出来ない。iOSは18.3を使用しています。最新OSへの対応が必要なのかもしれません。
iOSアプリから使えると言うのもF6の購入動機でもあるので対応して欲しいです。

### 1/5 — No Good

*2024-12-03, version 1.2.00*

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

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-08-03, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 3/5 — No folder addition support no iPad agente connected.

*2024-04-22*

Whenever I want to add a new folder in the “Finder” section it doesn’t allow me to. I can only rename already existing folders instead of having the option to add new ones.
Please update this function to iPad access.

### 1/5 — Zoom ce fous complètement de nous

*2024-04-17*

Ça fait 3 ans qui ne font plus de mise à jour. On ne peut ni l’utiliser sur os ni sur androïde. Zoom ce moque de nous. Fallait pas acheter leurs produits……..

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-04-16, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth is crap

*2023-11-22, version 1.2.00*

Doesn’t want to work.  It recognizes the F6 on the app but then connects and has no prompt for password.  Then clears on devices connection and you can’t use the app.  All the meanwhile showing connected in the F6 side.  Useless
