## What is Hindenburg Field Recorder?

It’s all about the story.....

Create your interview in three simple steps:

Step 1: Record interview and set markers at points of interest

### 1/5 — Comme il vous plaira

*2026-05-06*

Enregistrer sur iPhone c’est découvrir, ici avec Hindenburg, que les données mises en cache ainsi que les enregistrements effacés restent dans l’iPhone (IOS18.3.2. Que vous le vouliez ou non ils y restent. Ça détruit l’élaboration de la pensée par la parole puisque ni l’une ni l’autre ne nous appartiennent plus et sont figées. On se doute de la finalité de cette rétention … M’est avis que la CNIL devrait intervenir …

### 5/5 — Good but needs to be updated

*2024-05-21, version 1.80*

Please update this app. It needs mp3 functionality at the very least. 

Thank you.

### 3/5 — Wonderful App - but…

*2024-02-09, version 1.80*

Being a professional sound tech, I searched for a long time for no-frills professional recording app. Hindenburg does the job. A no-nonsense interface fills the screen the moment the app opens up. Setting levels is a snap and the volume level indicators make it obvious immediately whether you’re recording in mono or stereo. Sharing files is also just what you’d expect from a well-designed app. Hindenburg has just what I need - and even more importantly - I don’t have to wade through a bunch of cartoon-like garbage to make a recording.

One MAJOR  omission, though (which is forcing me to use another app) is its lack of ability to recognize and use a Bluetooth mic. If you fix this one fault, I’ll come back home to Hindenburg… thx

### 5/5 — Simple and powerful recorder

*2023-09-08, version 1.80*

I’ve been using the light version of the app for quick field recordings. It’s reliable and comes with some simple but powerful editing features. 
The light version comes with a fair 1 minute limit which is enough for me in most cases but I’d like to support the developers for more maintenance updates in the future.
I also really appreciate the design of the app.

### 2/5 — Export zu Desktopversion?

*2023-08-05, version 1.80*

Ich habe von Anfang an gern mit der App gearbeitet. Leider hat sie irgendwann die Option verloren, die Aufnahme an die Desktop Version von Hindenburg meines Macs zu schicken. Damit es ein wesentlicher Teil meines Mehrwerts flöten gegangen. Schade.

### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar!

*2023-04-20, version 1.80*

Gainslider funktioniert auf einem iPhone 13 nicht.

### 4/5 — Nice but no mp3

*2022-06-28, version 1.76*

It’s everything you would want except a lot of audio is required to be mp3.  I’m surprised that it’s not available.  Other than that it’s great.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2022-06-15, version 1.76*

I use Hindenburg on my computer to record my podcast and now I have this field recorder which works awesomely. Thanks for all your good work. Watch the YouTube video tutorials to learn how to use it. It’ll take you less than 10 minutes and you’ll be good to go.

### 1/5 — Transferring files can be a problem

*2021-12-17, version 1.76*

I’ve been trying to transfer audio files from this app to Hindenburg Lite on my laptop. Still not working after weeks of trying and waiting for technical support from the developers.

### 5/5 — Use it with Hindi Journalist

*2021-04-17, version 1.76*

If you think it’s expensive think again.  This is a professional reporters app.  You can send recordings to email in seconds.  If you use it in conjunction with the Hindenburg Journalist app magic happens.  The noise reduction filter is simply amazing. And voice leveller within the Hindi Journalist is beyond comprehension.  It is that good.  You’ll not get eq facilities on Field Recorder but the compressor works 101%.  This is a solid recorder which does everything with simplicity. No frills, open the app and record. Finish the recording and edit.  Send the edit to any email address or download onto any audio editing software.  But Hindenburg Journalist or Journalist Pro is perfect.  Great app for the professional journalist.
