### 2/5 — Noise

*2023-03-21*

When I play back recorded audio on a Bluetooth device, it produces a constant cracking sound. I did put it in flight mode during recording. 
Also, the audio files in "files" folder disappeared.

### 2/5 — Чтобы сохранить запись в файлы

*2023-03-03*

нужно подключение к сети.

### 2/5 — Questions remain

*2023-02-07*

I can’t merge movies back (with effects) -
How is it working? „Zoom“ and „recorder app“ is not good to google, by the way…

### 2/5 — you're kidding, right ?

*2022-02-20, version 1.0.0*

I will be buying a different microphone so that I don't have to use this software.

### 2/5 — Can’t set the sample rate

*2021-12-25, version 1.0.0*

Rode Rec was better. But has stopped working :/

The old version of the iXY mic was so much better . This new I’ve feels like junk.  Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Accessibility

*2021-12-25*

I received the Xoom Iq6 x y stereo microphone for Christmas. I was really excited and plugged it into my iPhone 13 mini. As soon as I plugged it in VoiceOver stopped talking so I could not access the functions of the product independently. Also some buttons in the app itself are not labelled properly. Please fix this as I want to be able to use this independently. I am a musician and this will be a great tool once these bugs are ironed out.

### 1/5 — 垃圾软件！

*2021-11-29*

就这软件编写水平，怎么好意思收钱！1、录音文件不显示录音日期及时间，录音一多谁还分得清。2、录音后播放录音有很大的嗤嗤声，导出到别的播放器播放则无杂音。3、导出文件只能一次导出一个录音，什么年代了，还有如此反人类设定。4、唯一的可用之处仅因为是官方软件与iQ6录音麦匹配度好些，录音品质好些，其他方面一无是处。

### 1/5 — Don’t get it!!!

*2021-04-07, version 1.0.0*

With the new update it doesn’t work anymore 
I even bought it! Don’t waste you money on this!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t merge!

*2021-02-28*

Cannot get the modified sound to merge with original video. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Before I could export my recordings now I cannot

*2021-02-23, version 1.0.0*

Dear Zoom software developers, I have the iPhone 12 Pro and now I can’t export my recordings to Files or WhatsApp, I have both the Handy Pro and the regular Handy Recorder and they’re both giving me export problems, we need a software update soon. I’ll change my review to 5 stars once it’s fixed!! Also, just like you have an un-do button, you also have a re-do button. I thought the pro version was going to be way better than the regular version but they’re almost identical, I’m disappointed Zoom audio.

### 2/5 — ムービー機能に不具合

*2021-02-14*

iPhone12(iOS 14.4)で使用していますが、ムービー機能が正常に動いていません。リバーブ等の編集をした後、元の動画にマージして保存する際に、編集が反映されず、元に戻ってしまいます。修正お願いします。

### 1/5 — USB  C

*2025-05-01*

Bitte anpassen an das am7, da dieses über USB C Anschluss verfügt, wie alle neueren Apple Geräte.
Das AM 7 funktioniert ja auch mit anderen Apps unter Apple. Insofern ist dies ein Programmierproblem!

### 1/5 — Soundcloud連携

*2025-02-09*

Sound cloudにアップロードする際、Soundcloudアカウントにログインできません(ログイン画面でループする)
同様のバグは無償版のHandyRecorderでも発生していたのですが、有償版のProで対策されているのかと思いきや未対応のまま…
何年間もバグを放置したままです。
せめて有償版では対応するか、対策できないならSoundcloud連携をメニューから消して欲しいわ
とても残念

### 1/5 — Zoom am7 / IPhone 15 Pro Max

*2025-01-21*

Не поддерживает стерео запись😭

### 1/5 — Lot of wasted potential - terrible UI

*2024-09-07*

Please overwork this app as it has so much potential but it currently feels really crappy.  Like it was designed by a small start up with no ui designers involved or it was designed for the first iPhone.

Just some examples that drive me crazy:
- the mic connector sometimes is not properly connecting which leads to a mono recording. The app should warn you if the recording is in mono.
- once I put the mic in of course I want the activate the function „upside down“. Why hide this option somewhere deep in the settings? Either put it directly into the home menu or give an option that automatically activates it once a mic is connected.
- I have made over 30 recordings and now want to send the files to my computer for processing. But it is only possible to safe or share one recording at a time. Super frustrating.
- when I have listened to one recording and wanted to edit or delete it, I first have to click „select“ on the top but then my selection is gone and I have look for it again or remember the cryptic name
- and so on

### 1/5 — Miserable App, der es an simpelsten Basisfunktionen fehlt

*2024-04-07*

Als Besitzer von professionellen Zoom Recordern, wie zum Beispiel dem H5, hatte ich mir von dieser App eine professionelle Lösung erhofft, um das Zoom Mikrofon für iPhone zu nutzen. 
Die App erfüllt allerdings nicht die simpelsten Grundfunktionen. So werden in der Liste der aufgezeichneten Files nur die Dateinamen mit fortlaufender Nummerierung angezeigt. 
Es fehlen die Informationen über das Aufnahmedatum, den Aufnahmezeitpunkt und die Länge der Aufnahmen. So ist man binnen kürzester Zeit mit einem Sammelsurium von Dateien konfrontiert, die man nicht mehr zuordnen kann. Allein schon dieser Mangel macht die App eigentlich unbrauchbar.
Die Auflistung weiterer Mängel würde den Rahmen einer Rezession hier bei weitem sprengen.

### 1/5 — Can’t set the recording level??!

*2023-11-08, version 5.2.0*

What’s like the very first thing you want to be able to do with a custom recording app?  How about turn off auto gain and manually set the recording level. Can this do that?  Well there’s a menu option “auto gain” but it just says unsupported function.

Pitiful, absolutely pitiful.

### 1/5 — Save $2 - use free version

*2023-05-20, version 1.1.0*

The “PRO” version does nothing useful over the free version. I was looking for auto gain control for the iQ7 microphone, but it turns out it’s not available for the iQ7 on *either* version of Handy Recorder.  It also doesn’t let you set the WAV sample rate, which would be  helpful.

### 1/5 — inscrutable

*2023-03-04, version 1.1.0*

this is by far the most puzzling audio software I've ever used. pretty much unusable.

### 1/5 — Nutzung der iCloud

*2023-02-03*

Leider kann man in der Pro–Version nicht mehr mit der iCloud automatisch synchronisieren, auch Einzelspeicherung auf der ICloud nicht möglich, in der freien Version schon. Das ist für eine gekaufte App nicht gut! Vielleicht hat jemand eine Erklärung dafür!?

### 1/5 — C est une catastrophe

*2022-02-22*

Très mauvaise appli, son ergonomie est tellement mauvaise que c est danger ai pour les fichiers audio.
Il manque des fonctions de base.

### 5/5 — ムービー機能で固まります

*2025-02-03*

ムービー機能でイコライザーをかけた後、サーチングピーク0%で固まります。解決策を教示お願いします。

### 5/5 — noise occurs when importing movie

*2024-01-30*

when importing movie videos pops and clicking noise occurs from the audio please update and fix this issue arigato

### 5/5 — ホームボタンありの機種でios16における縦画面の上下反転ができない。

*2023-05-02*

ホームボタンありのiPhone+IOS16においては縦画面の上下反転が維持できません。すぐ元に戻ってしまいます。 かなり使いにくいので対応願います。
→直りました。ご対応ありがとうございました。

### 5/5 — 5 stars of nothing.

*2021-08-05, version 1.0.0*

The and apo does not fulfilled my expectations. No easy editing.

### 5/5 — ビデオ音声の加工が便利

*2021-04-20*

一見変わったユーザーインターフェースだが機能はしっかり動作している。小さいレベルで録れてしまった音声トラックのノーマライズとリバーブ掛けて書き戻す！というアイディアが秀逸。

### 5/5 — Everything you need !

*2021-02-18, version 1.0.0*

This app blew my mind! I was able to do everything I regularly do on my phone! And it’s very intuitive. Thank you Zoom!

### 4/5 — 良アプリですがバグがあります

*2026-02-18*

FilesからSelectでファイルを複数選んでSHARE→iCloudやOthersでアップロードしても1つしかコピーされません。バグだと思いますので改善をお願いします。iPhoneでの使用です。

### 4/5 — Good stuff

*2020-12-31, version 1.0.0*

I enjoy the microphone for field recordings. How can I access my files that were recorded in the standard version from the PRO version? I just upgraded and would like to pull in all my existing files.

### 3/5 — Zoom L20 to zoom iPhone app

*2022-11-30*

This is a great little recorder for its sole purpose as it is .. my purpose is to record live band rehearsals through my zoom L20 into iPhone which should work as a fat easy way to record demos or jam sessions only , my Yamaha 16 ch mixer allows me to use this function with a usb out of mixer directly into iPhone .. sadly it doesn’t work with the zoom app or zoom L20

### 3/5 — 動画ファイル

*2021-05-20*

動画ファイルにリムーブをかけた後、保存後にリムーブ無しになってしまいます。
