### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Absolute disaster

*2021-12-04, version 3.0.3*

What do you expect when you buy two channel sound card for iOS? I expect that the software which devices come with will have a way to record a video where I can edit channel separately, I can do panning between channels, use layers of effect and etc. basically garage band with video recording capability. I haven’t found how to edit channels separately for stereo audio. And the whole 190€ device with 20€ app and 5-10€ for each plugin it in it basically useless if there’s no way to mix channels for my video. Also their reverb effect even in 1% output produces such amount of reverb that it spoils the whole vocal track, it’s just a large hall reverb preset which is absolutely useless for anything. I’m highly disappointed, All I’ve wanted it to record my guitar with vocals and post it straight to YouTube or TikTok.. try to mix two channels with direct monitoring.. and then you only allowed to add effects on both channels, what a foolish thing is that? It’s useless for this task. Just make a basic daw with a video recording, that’s all we need

### 3/5 — App Crashes when processing edits

*2020-09-15, version 3.0.3*

I have an iPhone X with the latest version. I find when using Cut or Crop the app crashes. When I use effects the app crashes and I loose the recording. When I open the app again the file is there but there is no audio at all in the file anymore. Anyone else have this issue?

### 4/5 — Works well with the IRig Pro Duo.

*2020-08-08, version 3.0.3*

The volume works well with the hardware. Two improvements would be a pan setting for stereo two mic recordings and somehow get it to work in the background so it could be used with Facebook Live. The work around for FB Live is to  not use this app and use the camera in the phone with the IRig but it comes out hard panned stereo like a psychedelic sixties record. If the app or the iRig could add panning I’d give it 5 stars.

### 3/5 — Paid twice!

*2020-05-12, version 3.0.2*

The app and iRig Pro are great and been getting some good results. The old problem was when I uninstalled the app a re downloaded and was charged again. It appears to be missing the flag to know I’d already purchased it previously. Any possibility of a refund please?

### 1/5 — Keine Funktionalität

*2020-04-22*

Mit iOS 13 und auf dem iPhoneX nicht mehr einsetzbar. Ton- und Ansichtsprobleme in Audio und Video

### 1/5 — Muito ruim

*2020-03-31*

Não gostei nada! Tentei solicitar o estorno de minha compra, mas não consegui contato com o desenvolvedor! Por essa falta de atendimento que deixo minha avaliação negativa

### 3/5 — Difference ?

*2020-03-27*

Bonjour quelle est la différence avec IRig LE 3 ? Merci !

### 2/5 — Crash , crash, crash.  was better

*2020-01-29, version 3.0.2*

### 3/5 — リバーブをかけると音ズレします。

*2019-09-07*

リバーブをかけるとかなり映像と音ズレします。改善をお願いします。

### 1/5 — Not Happy! CRASHES!

*2019-05-01, version 3.0.2*

Crashes ! Same thing over a year ago , after almost a year not being able to use this it started to work, I figured it was a one time thing......
Again it CRASHES!!!
    FIX THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Crashes when editing

*2019-03-03, version 3.0.2*

This app could be great but it crashes when you try to edit a recording

### 1/5 — Only seconds

*2019-02-22, version 3.0.2*

Developer turned this nice app into garbage...

The recorder only works for a few seconds
They stops recording. 
I’ve had this recording app for years, bought all the filter and sound mods to the app, and used it very successfully with my iPhone 4s and my wife’s 5s, and recently with my 6plus s. I even bought and used the iRig microphone all worked seamlessly until now. 
Problems include but are not limited to
Stops recording when I cover the screen - or put most of my phone in a pocket with microphone still exposed. 
Can’t be used with iRig microphone
I can no longer figure out how to adjust the line in inputs R&L channels
And never could use Bluetooth for playback, I wrote I got the reply “sorry but we are working on it.”

### 3/5 — 没中文的？

*2018-12-10*

说好的中文呢？没看到哪里可以设置的？而且内购里30块解锁全部功能也没见到，分开买贵好多呢……

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2018-11-17*

Péssimo!

### 2/5 — HPに強制誘導されて使えません。

*2018-11-01*

最近、起動するとCelebrate Studio Month with IKなる表示が画面を覆ってしまい、×を押してもてもなぜか強制的にIK Multimedia社のHPに誘導されてしまう現象が起きています。

とっても便利に使っていたのに、オンラインではほぼ使用不能状態です。

有料アプリでこれは酷い。
対処方法があるのでしょうか？

至急、対処方法または改善を求めます。

### 1/5 — Jedes mal fett werbung trotz kauf - will mein geld zurück!

*2018-10-29*

die app ist für das nichts was sie kann total umständlich ...warum sollte ich eine reine tonaufnahme machen wollen.? nee, ich muss erst auf kamera klicken und dann nochmal ... blöde .. und die werbung bei jedem öffnen (!!!)ist eine unverschämtheit in einer gekauften app... das bringt einen jedesmal raus, und wenn man das mini-kreuzchen zum schließen nicht perfekt trifft, ist man erstmal in safari, total ätzend und antiproduktiv.

### 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 .

### 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

### 1/5 — needs new update keeps Crashing

*2021-02-22, version 3.0.3*

iphone 11 pro max to  many bugs asap!!!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-06-07, version 3.0.2*

I bought the app and tried to register it and filled out what they asked. The thing kept telling me that my email is already in use??

### 1/5 — I want my Money Back!!

*2020-04-23, version 3.0.2*

Really Cheesy App!! #Lame

### 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?

### 5/5 — Super application Супер приложение !!!

*2018-12-27*

Единственное приложение которое позволяет накладывать прямо в айфоне звуковые эффекты на видео (например, реверберация) без редактирования на компе или пропускания звука микрофона через микшер на айфон и при этом можно сохранить аудио или видео в галерее или выгрузить видео на ютюб, а не видео с кнопками настроек как у VoiceJamStudio. Особенно полезно для вокалистов, музыкантов. За два дня испробовал более 30 подобных приложений платных и бесплатных. Это лучшее!

Single application in which you can apply sound effects directly in iPhone (for example reverb) on your video without editing it with computer or sending incoming sound via external mixer and with it allowing you to save audio or video in gallery or upload video to YouTube but not video with knobs as VoiceJamStudio does. Especially useful for vocalists, musicians. For two days tried over 30 applications free or paid. This is the best!

### 5/5 — 账号登陆问题

*2018-10-14*

账号登陆不上，怎么办

### 5/5 — So thankful

*2016-12-31, version 2.0.2*

Was looking for a simple way to record with new vocpedal and the on sale from amazon iRig2. Recording to share sacred messages. Names FAITHmystic

### 5/5 — THE BEST APP I HAVE EVER FOUND!!!

*2016-11-11*

Pls. Add scheduled recording facility which enables the recorder to start and end at specific time of a day.

### 5/5 — Super Recording App

*2016-06-14*

Habe lange überlegt ob der Kauf Sinn macht. Bin nach ausgiebigen Tests mit der Rauschunterdrückung sehr zufrieden. Die App ist aufgeräumter als GarageBand und umfangreicher als die Sprachnotizen App von Apple. Wer dabei noch auf Real Time Monitoring nicht verzichten möchte ist mit der App gut bedient... 7,99 Euro ist die App wert... Einziger Kritikpunkt wäre: Bei Kauf eines Mikrofons von IK Multimedia sollte die App gratis sein...

### 5/5 — Très bon

*2015-06-16*

Permet de faire de bons enregistrements, notamment les sons graves. La possibilité d'édition permet d'obtenir le son voulu, néanmoins:

MISE A JOUR :

Sur appareil de type iPhone et iPod, la possibilité d'"Optimize Volume" existe, mais pas sur iPad: Ce serez sympathique de l'ajouter sur iPad !

### 5/5 — Can't believe how well it works.

*2014-06-15, version 1.5.3*

I bought the iRig Cast mic to use on my iPhone for portability over quality and I was really surprised when the audio tracks recorded with this app were as good and sometimes better than the audio that I recorded using my Tascam handheld unit. I still prefer the Tascam for the operational functionality but when it's not an option the iRig recorder is the way to go.

### 5/5 — 아주 좋습니다

*2014-05-16*

일단 레벨메타 떠서 좋으며, ftp지원되니 좋네요 단 확장자가 mp3 지원되면 좋겠네요

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2014-04-20*

Easy to record, edit and send.
