Works

You can connect the Lightspeed Zulu 2 to the app and record through Bluetooth. The other app called LightSpeed doesn’t work though.

Does what it says

I don’t use this much, but when I have it’s worked great at recording everything my headset takes in.

Recording

Only records my voice and not atc.

Worst airline ever

Do not flight in flight link is the worse airline I ever been. They have tricky policies and they will try to scam you. They gave us the incorrect amount of money trying to charge us fees. They try to charge us more than twice the cost of the tickets. Worst customer expirience ever. Worst aircraft very unprofesional. Go to other airline like presicion air. Do not trust this company

Great sound

Great sound and comfort but the flight link app only records my voice, what can I do to correct that?

Files disappear and don’t transfer

I attempted to transfer the audio from my sons first flight to make a video, however it just disappeared while attempting to transfer the audio file.

What a load of crap

Hit record and went on a 2 hr flight. At the end of the flight I went to check out the recording and when I reopened the app it said another app shut it down. I got 17 seconds of the engine running from the ambient mic. Zero from the comms. Waste of space on my devices.

Good concept, only recording my voice

This is a great concept, and a feature that (with a few others) steered me away from Bose.
However, I can only get it to record my voice, not all transmissions trough the headset. Is that a fix?

Quits

App has not worked since I purchased the headsets and downloaded the app. It quits after 2 seconds with the message, “Recording Stopped - the recording was stopped by another application”. There is nothing in the faq section about this. I have no other applications running Bluetooth. I bought these headsets because of the app.

Zulu 3 with audio cable to iPhone/app

Don’t waste you time on this app. The recordings simply disappear without a trace.

Will delete your records

The most important purpose of this application is to record audio, and this the only thing application cannot do. In many times it will not start recording (you need to be precise in action order when to turn on headset, when to turn on avionics on plan, when connect cable etc). But even if you succeed record audio, it still huge chance that you will lose it. I switched to plain audio recording app and never lose recording after that

Great idea but files disappearing makes the app a waste of time

I love my Zulu 3s and the idea of this app.

But unfortunately with an iPhone 12 if the files are longer than an hour it will cause the export function of the app to crash and for whatever corresponding file to disappear with no recovery feature.

Please please fix this major issue

Do something! Update!

The only reason I bought this headset was for this recording feature. It is riddled with issues, no support, no updates. Regrettable purchase.

It’s trash….

The last thing you want in aviation is an unintuitive non functioning app. Welp, this app is just that….

Toggle switch on the back or not…. This app is not user friendly and doesn’t not function as advertised.

If this feature is the point of consideration for you buying a lightspeed headset…. Just know that the app is trash.

PS: still love my zulu3 though.

Disappearing files

It is very annoying that my files are disappearing when I try to export them.
FAQ is not right that they will be available via iTunes...
C R A P :(

Deleted My Recording

The ability to record my audio via Bluetooth was a primary consideration when buying my $850 Zulu 3 headset. I’ve been waiting all week to try out the recording function. Had an amazing flight with my Dad today, recorded the audio, got home and hit the export button. Everything deleted. So upset.

It appears this is a common issue. Maybe I’m on the cheap side of things, but $850 is a lot to spend to have this initial experience. I’m definitely going to try to return these. Really disappointed.

Lots of Promise, Does Not Deliver

This app does not do what Lightspeed says it will do. Doing an export to m4a is extremely buggy. Switching apps, letting he screen turn off, or looking at the app wrong will result in the export failing, and the application deleting the source recording. All that needs to change is for the app not to delete the source recording on export or compression, and then I would be able to recover and try again, but it doesn’t even do that, which means that this app is worse than no app at all. It’s the promise of a recording app, but in reality you’ll find that in more than 50% of cases, you’ll have hours of recordings summarily deleted.

Absolutely avoid.

Deletes your files

Be careful sharing your file because about half the time I deletes my audio and I can’t recover it. Lost the recording of my first solo :/

Great Feature, Poor Execution

I was victim to my recording being lost on export. Similar to many others here.

I converted to M4A. Then I hit the export button to Save To Files. Now my file is gone from the app and I have no idea where it went.

I bought the Zulu 3’s specifically for this feature, but losing files is very annoying. If this is some kind of user error, make it harder for this to happen. But I can assure you I didn’t hit the trash

Major technical issue

After recording audio, there is no way to export the audio. When one tries to “share” or export, the app goes into an infinite loop. When you close the app, somehow it deletes the audio forever. This has happened every time I have tried to share the audio. This issue needs to be addressed as so many are relying on this feature. Also, there should be a way to back up the audio to the cloud so that audio isn’t permanently lost.
