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.

Bluetooth is crap
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
Stuck
Same issue as others have stated. Zoom has clearly abandoned updating the app to actually work. It just sits on the blank Bluetooth screen after it has been connected and you cannot close that out to start controlling the recorder.
Doesn’t work
Wish I had read the reviews for the app before purchasing the adapter. The app hasn’t been updated in three years and freezes on a blank screen when you try to connect to your F6. Huge waste of money on the adapter.
Doesn’t Work
Wasted money on the Bluetooth dongle. Let’s me select device then returns to a blank Bluetooth screen and I can’t enter device password. Very disappointed.
App hasn’t been updated in 3 years
Honestly don’t know if this app is even compatible with my phone since it hasn’t been updated in 3 years. When I try to connect to the zoom F6 the recorder says connected but the app continues looking for a Bluetooth device.
My phone doesn’t ask for a pairing password or anything. The app just doesn’t do anything.

Two options to connect to the Bluetooth
If your iOS is the latest, connect to the second one “F6 Control” under Bluetooth. If your iOS is older, choose the first one “F6 Control (iOS 9-12).
Mismatch the connecting option with the iOS version may result a white screen and find nowhere to enter the password.
So, it is working well with the Bluetooth adapter.

Unsupported Waste of Great Potential
Support your product Zoom!
The hardware this app was “designed” for has only increased in price since releasing. This app only works if you buy an additional accessory.
If Zoom cared about their current products as much as the unreleased ones, their marketing, or website design then this app would be fantastic.
Don’t waste your money on Zoom. Look into Sound Devices, Tascam, etc.

Almost Great
Compared to Sound Devices, and other control apps for competing field recorders… this app is really good.
It is missing 1 key element though, and this is easily fixed in a control app update:
Using this field recorder, in conjunction with this app is great for monitoring and control, but the problem is that negates the ability to use bluetooth timecode.
Either a firmware update on the F6 to allow for both to connect is required (other BT devices allow for multiple connections), or if the dongle is not multi-access capable…. have the app receive the timecode data through bluetooth, and simply update the recorder through the app.
It is the same problem/limitation on the F2-BT.
Please Zoom…. fix this in the app. It’s super easy and it is in the TCS SDK (They have a slate that works on iOS)

App Needs To Be Updated
Simply put, the app hasn’t been updated in two years. It no longer works with latest iOS versions. The app initially connects to the recorder but won’t allow the password to be entered. The $30-$40 Bluetooth adapter has been rendered useless.
Doesn't work
Bluetooth window pops up showing the f6 device . I click on it then it closes then it pops back up again but there's nothing in the list
You cant even format the card.
You can’t format the card while Bluetooth is enabled…
Wish it could be better
Overall it’s a worth having than not having. But it NEEDS these features for the app.
-False Take Button
-Ability to tap on name from main screen to change it
-Ability to change output and time code settings in app
-Having History of scenes, takes and notes similar to what you can use when not using app
-Ability to do the same functions in Finder when no connected to app
-Ability to add a folder on card
-Ability to run a report on a folder
Since Zoom doesn’t have anywhere to submit feature requests, the recorder needs the ability to add the track names from the metadata to the track naming structure. Would help post production save time organizing tracks.

Solid connection, reliable
Solid connection, reliable. More precise measures than costly FRC-8 control.
Doesn’t connect
Will not connect via Bluetooth. Updated firmware. Never worked. Not sure it will ever work.
Stuck on Bluetooth
Stuck on Bluetooth screen just bought the Adapter for 40+ dollars and can’t use it definitely disappointed
