Excellent in most situations

I find this a great little tool but lacking in some areas of eq and facilities. Really good but room for improvement.

ALL FILES WERE LOST

Beware!! I was listening to a playback recording when my phone battery died. Plugged my phone in, and upon restarting, I found that 4 years of recordings were gone from the App Library. The backup file on my iPhone storage is also empty. Contacted customer support and they claim they never heard of this before and there’s nothing they can do. No other functions of the phone are affected. All my work is gone. I thought the backup file protected me from the app failure. I was wrong. It’s like mourning a death…. No hep from tech support - on condolences.

Best Audio App For Podcasters

Amazing sound, user friendly, and easy setup 💚💚💚💚

Great stuff

Works like a charm. Easy to use. Love Shure. Happy with this app they’ve developed.

An amazing audio recording upgrade

I’ve been recording practice sessions (acoustic guitar, various singing styles) with my phone mic for years and have figured out a few tricks to make recordings sound better. However, I just found out about the gen 2 MVX2U and picked one up to connect my mic (Shure KSM8) to my phone, and I’m stunned by the difference - it literally sounds like I’m recording in a studio now. The only feature that feels “missing” is a nice warm reverb option, that would make this app ‘perfect’ in my opinion. Thank you guys so much! 🎶
