### 1/5 — Loses connectivity

*2026-06-22*

The app loses connection to the recorder at the worst times every time. I think this could be fixed by allowing the user to set the Bluetooth adapter to a fixed setting and not having to navigate the menu on the device to put it in pairing mode.

### 5/5 — The application loses connection

*2025-05-29*

If the bluetooth connection is interrupted (for example, if you move far enough away from the recorder), the app loses the connection and does not reconnect, you have to reconnect it manually. This is terrible.

Otherwise everything is great :)

### 1/5 — Mostly unusable

*2025-05-04*

Works fine while in range. But if Bluetooth connection drops OR if you close the app, you have to re-pair. And you can only re-pair by stopping the recording manually. If the device is on stage or out of reach, you’re screwed. It’s really quite useless and frustrating.
