### 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.

### 2/5 — Connection impossible

*2022-09-30*

J’utilise l’appli avec IOS 15.6.1 et le Zoom f6 avec le firmeware 1.9

Le zoom est bien détecté par l’iPad mais lorsque il faut saisir le mot de passe Bluetooth, un écran blanc apparaît et il est impossible de saisir le mot de passe, donc impossible de connecter.

Avez-vous une solution ?
Merci

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-08-19*

Recorder shows a connection but the app does not work and only shows the white window for bluetooth devices without showing any device, nothing happens.

### 3/5 — Almost Great

*2022-08-06, version 1.2.00*

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)

### 1/5 — App Needs To Be Updated

*2022-05-17, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2022-05-05, version 1.2.00*

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

### 1/5 — You cant even format the card.

*2022-04-12, version 1.2.00*

You can’t format the card while Bluetooth is enabled…

### 3/5 — Wish it could be better

*2022-04-08, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2021-11-14, version 1.2.00*

Will not connect via Bluetooth. Updated firmware. Never worked. Not sure it will ever work.

### 1/5 — Stuck on Bluetooth

*2021-10-13, version 1.2.00*

Stuck on Bluetooth screen just bought the Adapter for 40+ dollars and can’t use it definitely disappointed

### 1/5 — Sad, it's doesn't seem to work for some people.

*2021-10-01, version 1.2.00*

I am one of them. I have updated to the latest firmware, and am currently on both the iPhone and iPad, but the app just sits on the Bluetooth screen.

### 2/5 — Not that reliable

*2021-08-19, version 1.2.00*

On playback, keeps muting some channels. The only way if unmuting is to turn off and on the fader on the f6. Really don’t like this app - doesn’t inspire confidence.

Above comment from using with old iPad. Doesn’t work at all on iPhone iOS 14.

### 2/5 — Not as useful as I thought

*2021-06-23, version 1.2.00*

The one thing that would really help on set is being able to name folders- as that takes the most time to type. Unfortunately zoom f6 control doesn’t allow for that.

### 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.

### 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……..

### 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

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2023-06-23, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-06-20, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2023-06-05, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 1/5 — App hasn’t been updated in 3 years

*2023-05-05, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 1/5 — Unsupported Waste of Great Potential

*2022-12-04, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Two options to connect to the Bluetooth

*2023-03-11, version 1.2.00*

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.

### 5/5 — It makes much easier to control F6

*2022-08-21*

Connecting with iOS13 and work perfectly

### 5/5 — Solid connection, reliable

*2022-01-17, version 1.2.00*

Solid connection, reliable.  More precise measures than costly FRC-8 control.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-08-30, version 1.2.00*

The Zoom f6 is a great audio recorder, and this app just makes it even better! I have been using it for the past few months without issue. I’m very glad that I decided to purchase the F6. For my work it’s a game changer. I have never had any
Connectivity issues. The farthest I have been set up away from the device is about 40 feet. Never lost connection. Since it is Bluetooth, I kept it within line of site.

### 5/5 — Handy tool

*2020-08-13, version 1.2.00*

Handy tool. Wish it would send the audio signal to listen through the app on the phone or iPad

### 5/5 — Changed my review after I figured out how to do what I want.

*2020-06-29, version 1.2.00*

I left my old review at the bottom so that it might help someone else if they have trouble getting their heads wrapped around the F6 and this app.

To use the F6 as a USB audio interface AND use this app to control the mix do the following:

- system->USB->AIF with Rec to the on position
- system->Bluetooth->F6 Control->Connect

In Wirecast (or whatever) bind channels 7&8 to left and right input and unbind 1&2.

You can stream, record the production to disk and have the F6 save all the audio tracks to the SD at the same time.  Sweeeet

__——————- old review ——————-
The App looks nice and does help label tracks.  But I’m using my F6 connected to a Mac by USB as an audio source.  So the app via Bluetooth can’t be connected at the same time the F6 is sending audio to the Mac via USB.  You’d think that would be a sort of basic use case.  After all, a F6 and this app would make for a really nice usb mixer.

The F6 is really nice and I’ll never go back to mixing on a regular mixer. But if some version of firmware and app could get this stuff to work right, I’d be lovin’ it even more.
