### 4/5 — Cam shooter problems

*2026-01-05*

Apparently it's not compatible with iPhone Cam shooter standard on Apple's Camera app so, when you buy a Cam shooter compatible with iPhone Apple's Camera App it doesn't work with iRIG Recorder.

### 1/5 — Malfunctioning audio recording .

*2025-12-24, version 3.0.4*

Ok so I can’t say anything other then the app worked for few years . I’ve not used it a lot . Anyway today Christmas Eve I decided to record and problems hit . It’s all on the audio capture or how ever you want to say it . Audio wave looks good  , vid play back is good but audio sucks . Extremely low play back and clipping abound . I’m using the IRig pro dual with mics settings at 6 . No clipping indicated. So I did a sample based of the iPhone built in mics and it’s the same result . First running iOS 18.6.2 and now iOS 26 or whatever it’s called .  IRig app hasn’t been updated in 3 yrs . It really sucks as having a small stand alone daw  that video records is a God send only other one out there is Audiogo and you have to use their small
Mics . IRig please fix the app or better yet make a new that can utilize other interfaces . It would sell if fairly priced ! As it stands IRig is dead in the water at least on my end .

### 5/5 — Record of songs

*2025-01-03*

Hello, is it possible to overlay one or two more instruments or vocals, when listening to s recording that has already been made?

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2024-01-21, version 3.0.4*

Their hardware is great but this app really needs an update. It doesn’t allow you to select which back camera you’re using when recording. It would be great if it would allow you to select between normal, telescopic, and wide angle lenses.

### 1/5 — Bruit de cliquetis à l enregistrement

*2023-11-13*

L enregistrement sur iPad Pro ou sur iPhone 12 est mauvais. On entends des bruits parasite. C est bizarre. Je regrette mon achat car c est inutilisable

### 1/5 — Very misleading, do not be fooled

*2023-09-14, version 3.0.4*

Don’t be fooled.  This app does NOT work with amplitube. 
 You cannot use it with an irig interface and record processed amplitube sound to irig recorder.  

Te work around is to use GarageBand as the inter app router.  This is quite a hassle.  

Irig recorder works with GarageBand and amplitube works with GarageBand. 
Irig recorder does not work with amplitube. 

This has been frustrating enough to make me fully regret the app purchase and now I regret buying the irig hd x interface. 

The hd 2 I already had does all the basic stuff. 

IK should make their software work together or at least not be dishonest and claim that it does.

### 1/5 — Keine Stereo Aufnahme trotz Vollversion

*2023-02-27*

Um in Stereoqualität aufnehmen zu können, habe ich mir für 17,00 € die volle Version gekauft. Trotz Neuinstallation und IPad Neustart bleib die Software auf Mono stehen und lässt sich auch nicht ändern. 

Ich hoffe das der Support etwas ändert.

### 1/5 — Seit iOS 16 Störungen bei Aufnahme

*2022-11-13*

Ich verwende iRig Recorder seit Jahren zum Aufnehmen von Bandproben. Bisher hat das auch immer gut geklappt, aber seit iOS 16 gibt es Störungen auf den Aufnahmen, evtl. Buffer Underruns. Ich verwende ein iPhone 12 Pro. 

Das Startfenster nervt auch. 

Leider habe ich auch noch keinen Weg gefunden, Aufnehmen auf dem Lautsprecher abzuspielen, der Ton wird nur auf dem Kopfhörer wieder gegeben, bzw. ich muss das Telefon ans Ohr halten. 

Ansonsten hat die App bis iOS 15 gemacht, was sie soll: Aufnehmen und Export als WAV. Dafür hätte ich drei bis vier Sterne vergeben.

### 1/5 — It does not work on iPhone 13

*2022-10-12, version 3.0.4*

This app does not work with on iPhone 13

### 3/5 — IPad Air 3 with iRig 2

*2022-02-12, version 3.0.3*

My device combo performs the record function okay; but I am am coming to the conclusion that I would be better served using GarageBand.  I really like my iRig2.
