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 ### 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. ### 3/5 — Why so expensive? *2016-11-19, version 1.70* Generally an ok app but I'm at alias to see why it is so expensive. ### 5/5 — Excelente! *2015-04-25* Ótimo app para repórteres e jornalistas. Bem completo. Grava em .wav mas é possível exportar em aac (mp4). O bacana é que dá pra personalizar a capa (fundo do app) com qualquer foto ou imagem. Só falta mesmo é a versão em português. Recomendo. ### 5/5 — Excellent audio recorder *2014-10-28, version 1.45* I have used this Hindenberg iOS app for many years. It is excellent and works very well for audio recording and editing. I highly recommend it. ### 4/5 — CNN iReporter (Rare Diseases) *2014-08-03, version 1.45* J’utilise ce logiciel depuis plus d’une semaine, et je réalise que c’est le logiciel qui me convient parfaitement, fonctionne parfaitement avec mes périphériques, (iPad et iRig Pre), je l’utilise avec la version gratuite desktop Hindenburg Journalist. Ces deux logiciels combinés sont très faciles à utiliser. Je suis certains que les prochaines versions de ce logiciel seront de plus en plus performantes. Cette application est dispendieuse à comparé à beaucoup d’autres applications, mais vaut son prix. Excellent travail Hindenburg! ### 4/5 — Wonderful App *2014-02-04, version 1.45* This field recorder is an amazing app. I wish we had an updated iOS7 version (why 4 stars and not 5). I hope the developers are considering updating this great app. ### 5/5 — Great App, excellent support *2013-07-25, version 1.45* I have to say this is a terrific app. I am very happy now because the developer addressed the few issues I had and they were very good in following up with me. I love the superb recording quality, the easy compression setting and the intuitive editing. If you are thinking of buying, just go ahead. You will be glad you did. Thanks Hindenburg! ### 4/5 — Parfait pour le journalisme ! *2013-07-07, version 1.45* J'utilise l'application pour enregistrer des entrevues et des déclarations qui seront plus tard utilisées dans la rédaction d'articles de presse. Les marqueurs sont très utiles pour retrouver rapidement les déclarations les plus importantes. L'interface est très intuitive. L'application n'est cependant pas faite pour éditer lourdement les fichiers audio. Il est préférable pour ce faire de transférer le fichier sur un ordinateur. Les modes de transferts sont polyvalents et flexibles, contrairement à d'autres applications aux possibilités limitées. L'enregistrement peut se faire directement du microphone du téléphone, que l'on porte à plus d'une dizaine de centimètres des lèvres. J'utilise avec le iPhone 5 un adaptateur iRig Pre, un microphone AT897 et un casque d'écoute Sony MD 7506. ### 5/5 — You get what you pay for *2013-06-05, version 1.43* Hesitated to purchase this App due to the higher price in comparison to others. As with most things, you get what you pay for. I use this for professional recording such as broadcast and podcast. It's very intuitive and speaks to Hindenburg Desktop program seamlessly. I use a Vericorder XLR connector with 3.5mm headphone monitor jack, into a Seinnheiser MD42 which makes perfect quality audio. Very happy with this purchase and the help via twitter was great too. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 … ### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar! *2023-04-20, version 1.80* Gainslider funktioniert auf einem iPhone 13 nicht. ### 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. ### 1/5 — No integration with Journalist *2020-04-01, version 1.76* One of the reasons I got this was that it is supposed to work with Journalist Pro. There is not an easy and straightforward means to import directly into Journalist. The import an iOS feature in Journalist does not even work. ### 1/5 — Darstellungsfehler *2016-02-27, version 1.63* Unbrauchbar - Display wird nicht richtig dargestellt. Bitte sofort korrigieren ### 1/5 — Mangels Update leider unbrauchbar *2015-11-10, version 1.50* Es hat schon so lange kein Update mehr gegeben, dass die App sich nicht mehr sauber bedienen lässt und zuverlässig funktioniert. Für professionelle Ansprüche ist die App mittlerweile leider ungeeignet. Gemessen daran, was sie gekostet hat, ist das besonders unangenehm. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-10-18, version 1.45* I recorded 30 minutes of an important interview and I went to play it back, there was no audio. I'm using an iPhone 5 if it matters. Then I tried to record anything and it doesn't record it! Do not purchase!! ### 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. ### 2/5 — funktioniert nicht wirklich *2020-09-20, version 1.76* Ich habe auf dem iPhone 11 iOS 14 installiert und die App funktioniert nicht wirklich gut! Der Gainslider ist kaum sichtbar und komplett ohne Funktion und somit für mich unbrauchbar! ### 2/5 — Really want to like this... *2019-01-19, version 1.76* On my iPhone 6S plus with IOS 11, the gain slider is almost invisible!! And doesn’t appear to do anything. Gain control is THE reason to use this app, along with the excellent metering. Where are the undo/redo controls? Editing is just weird. Would love if I could get some support... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Elegant *2017-12-06, version 1.72* An attractive program with a simple and elegant interface. Its best feature is the way it quickly and seamlessly transfers files to the Desktop version of Hindenberg Journalist, along with any markers. (This capability was broken in a previous version of the iOS app, but is now fixed and works well). Add a good mic to your iPhone, and, as the app name suggests, you have a pretty good field recorder. ### 5/5 — App tut, was sie soll *2017-12-05, version 1.72* Wenn man Hindenburg Journalist auf dem Desktop benutzt, ist dies die perfekte App, um unterwegs etwas aufzunehmen. Die Übertragung geht einfach und kabellos. ### 5/5 — This is an ideal field recorder *2017-02-17, version 1.70* This is an ideal field recorder. Foolproof recording, and surprisingly robust editing functionality. Direct integration with the desktop app make this a no-brainer. I wish all apps had this great functional design and power. ### 5/5 — neues Update v 1.März 2016 - alles wieder gut *2016-03-02, version 1.64* Daaaanke - Software funktioniert nach dem neuesten Update wieder perfekt - auch auf Iphone 6/plus. ### 5/5 — Tremendous! *2016-03-02, version 1.64* I am enjoying Hindenburg on the iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 9. Flawless operation. The editing functions require reading the manual, but once you get the hang of it, no other app that I have encountered can compare with the flexibility of non destructive edits. ### 5/5 — OH, THE HUMANITY!!! *2016-02-29, version 1.63* (Come on, someone had to say it.) Hindenburg Field Recorder is what I would consider a perfect app---IF you need what's known in the industry as a "field recorder." See? It's right there in the title of the app: Hindenburg FIELD RECORDER. If you don't know what that is, or if you're trying to edit your latest dubstep download from Pirate Bay (or wherever these young whippersnappers are downloading their sick beats from), then . . . move along. Nothing to see here. But if you're in need of a kick-a** way to record flawless audio in a streamlined manner with an awesome U/I, and the ability to edit the audio ex post facto (that means "after the fact," by the way), and you have the need for crossfades and all sorts of nifty cool stuff like compression and limiting, then you will not find a better app. Ever heard the expression: You get what yo pay for? Some say the expression is merely a cliché, but it's a cliché because it's frickin' true in 90%+ cases. Hindenburg Field Recorder costs $30 because no other audio recording app can touch what it does. Don't believe me? Download the free version first and check it out. Originally, I downloaded the free version, and within 5 minutes of using it I shelled out $30 for the paid version; I was *that* impressed with it. That's just my opinion, but I'm sticking to it. Now buy the app before the zeppelin explodes! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
