Original review: Purchased MV88 and the mic gain monitor works fine on MOTIV Audio and you can see the meter of the mic gain fine. Unfortunately the meter doesn’t work for the video app. Even when unplugged the mic and using the build-in mic on the iPhone, you can still see the green meter register sounds on the Audio app, but nothing on the Video at all. So it isn’t the connectivity issue. ### 4/5 — Good sound *2026-05-23, version 2.12.1* It’s great, sounds great after adjusting the gain. Just wish it had watch controls ### 3/5 — Mic Gain meter not working *2026-05-18, version 2.12.0* Purchased MV88 and the mic gain monitor works fine on MOTIV Audio and you can see the meter of the mic gain fine. Unfortunately the meter doesn’t work for the video app. Even when unplugged the mic and using the build-in mic on the iPhone, you can still see the green meter register sounds on the Audio app, but nothing on the Video at all. So it isn’t the connectivity issue. ### 3/5 — 音量レベルが表示されなくなった *2026-04-13* iOSのアップデートと同時に左側で確認できるマイクのレベルがモニターできなくなった。 iOS 26.4.1 Motiv Video 2.11.0.1157 でこの現象が起きます。 ### 3/5 — Could use improvements *2026-01-03, version 2.10.2* It would be nice if the volume level could be boosted for playback. And also if more effects were offered, such as reverb. The options available are nice, the recording quality is good, but they could offer more options in my opinion. ### 3/5 — 惜しい *2025-12-07* 撮影する時は60fpsで撮影してても後に見返すと20fpsで撮影されてる事がよくある(iPhone SE)、容量の問題かなと思って確認したが特に容量がカツカツになったいるという訳ではなかった、でもマイクは綺麗に撮れててそこはとても良かったです。 **Developer response:** 申し訳ございません。トラブルシューティングのお手伝いをさせていただきます。Shureのサポートチーム（shure.com/contact）にお問い合わせいただけますでしょうか。 ### 4/5 — Been have audio vision sync issues *2025-11-03, version 2.10.0* I have been using the app for a year. Been recently been having audio/video sync issues. I recorded a video that the audio was 6 mins off from video. I have had problems saving where it says the video is one length but when saved it is different. Found a work around by saving to camera roll. The audio sync issues van not be fixed because the problem is on the app. ### 2/5 — Still Not working on iOS 26 *2025-10-20, version 2.10.0* The app has not worked properly on my iPhone since updating to iOS 26 I get an error that file can’t be written, I hope they address this soon ### 3/5 — Ok, but caveats. *2025-10-11, version 2.10.0* Ok if you are a full auto guy (on the video side). My biggest complaint though is that it is Rec.709 rather than 10 bit high dynamic range (like the stock iPhone camera app. Thus, video looks quite washed out and dull. The Audig has this same problem by the way. Video shows sideways on iPad. That is annoying. ### 3/5 — Actualizar por favor URGENTE *2025-10-06, version 2.10.0* Con el nuevo IOS 26 en iPhone, la app no permite grabar iniciar grabación (con micrófono shure conectado). Inmediatamente aparece mensaje: “Error de guardado….error de movifilerecorder…Error 5”. Esto no sucedía con iOS 18. ### 2/5 — Fine when it works *2025-10-03, version 2.10.0* You can use the Shure MoveMic 88+ linked directly to an iPhone when you use this app - however I have found that on some phones (like my current iPhone 16 pro) the audio drops out from time to time. I also have the MoveMic wireless receiver which does not have this audio problem in the same setup - so I suspect it is a software issue. Also from time to time I am unable to access saved recordings on the app. I would have reconsidered purchasing the MoveMic had I known these issues would arise with the app. However on its own using the mic and receiver works well - however you lose the simplicity of using one device plus phone. ### 4/5 — Sehr gut, aber… *2025-09-30, version 2.10.0* …seit dem update auf iOS 26 stürzt die App ab. Zuvor jahrelang beste Aufnahmen gemacht mithilfe des MV 88 Shure Mikros. Ich nutze ein IPhone 13Pro ### 1/5 — TikTok has been out for a decade… *2025-09-29, version 2.10.0* … but there’s no clear way to stream to TikTok, which is especially pushing its live function in this part of its tenure. I should have looked up how these mics worked before dropping 300 on them even when they were on sale at Guitar Center, thinking the Shure brand was enough guarantee of logical functionality. Would also love an intuitive function for streaming to Substack Live, which is where a lot of people will go as we ditch TikTok. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 認識しなくなった *2026-08-09* iPhone15proです。iOS26.5.2 早急に修正してください。 ### 1/5 — YouTubeとの連携 *2026-05-21* YouTubeモバイルアプリを使用するより断然綺麗な音での配信が可能だ。ありがとう。 ただ、なぜか配信終了しても終了しないことが多々ある。 いや、少し気をつかった。ほぼ終わらない。 毎回pcからYouTube studioにログインして切断しなければならない。80％ぐらいの確率で。 このバグさえ治ってくれたら言うことはない。 よろしくお願いします。 ### 1/5 — MOTIV video Stopped working on my iPhone 14 *2026-05-21, version 2.12.0* It has worked perfectly for many years - why has it stopped now? ### 1/5 — Firmware update V Poor *2026-05-12, version 2.12.0* Unfortunately your firmware update has made it very difficult to update on iPhone as I don’t have USB-C on computer - I urgently need to record - so I’ve ditched Shure for a Zoom - very disappointing, you have shot yourselves in the foot. ### 1/5 — オーディオレベルメーターが表示されない *2026-04-11* 大切な撮影時にこのバグが起こり、iPhone17 proとMV88+での撮影が叶いませんでした。iPhone14proではレベルメーターが表示されるので、そちらで撮影しましたが、iPhone17proの方がスペックが高いので仕上りに差が出たと思います。 iOSとMOTIV VIDEOを最新にアップデートしても改善がみられません。。 ### 1/5 — Microphone input is not functioning on iOS 24.6. *2026-04-07* Microphone input is not functioning on iOS 24.6. The microphones are recognized, but no audio is captured (this affects MV88+, the built-in microphone, and third-party microphones). In Shure MOTIV Audio, the microphone appears to work; however, the device serial number cannot be retrieved, so full functionality is questionable. I was unable to submit feedback through the app, so I am contacting you directly. ### 1/5 — Audio in limited volume sliders no longer work with iOS and the MV88+ mic *2026-03-30, version 2.11.0* Bad s adaptation to IOS updates ### 1/5 — Funzionava bene su Apple Watch fino al 2024 poi… puff… sparita! *2025-12-03, version 2.10.2* E’ un App che funziona bene su iPhone. La possibilità di poterla comandare da Apple Watch era impagabile. Adesso è diventato impossibile. Non capisco il perché. Sviluppatori (PER FAVORE) potete darmi una spiegazione? Grazie mille ### 1/5 — Buggy not functional *2025-11-26, version 2.10.1* Cannot start recording ### 1/5 — ERROR AL MOMENTO DE GRABAR *2025-10-06, version 2.10.0* NO PUEDO GRABAR POR FAVOR SU APOYO CON UNA ACTUALIZACIÓN PARA IPHONE ME MARCA ERROR 5 (NO SE PUEDEN GUARDAR LOS VIDEOS) desde que presiono grabar me aparece el error por lo tanto no me permite grabar con mi súper micrófono, tengo 5 años utilizando la App, ahora estoy muy triste porque no he podido grabar para mi canal de youtube: KARY GABRIELLE TAROT. Gracias. Kary ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s legit *2026-05-05, version 2.12.0* It’s a great app and mic ### 5/5 — typec高级控件 *2026-03-23* 现在苹果都是typec了，但是mv51不支持高级控件，希望更新一下，很喜欢这款麦克风 ### 5/5 — Fantastic Audio Quality *2026-01-27, version 2.10.2* I use this when I get a quick song idea or to post a recording on socials. I’ll usually drop the audio in my DAW and add a little reverb and compression. But for a source audio, this is high end condenser style quality. It’s 1000x better than what your phone mic can do. ### 5/5 — Mic is not working whith my Iphone 17 promax *2025-12-18, version 2.10.2* Love this mic it works perfectly whith my iphone 15 pro just purchased iphone 17 promax. Mic is not recording in stereo mode just one of the mic level is working can you help ? ### 5/5 — Fabulous for Flute *2025-12-01, version 2.10.1* This is the best app with the Shure MV88+ microphone for recording my flute students. So clean, so clear! Regular phones sound like French fried flute. ### 5/5 — Incredibly Good With Shure MOTIV MV-88+ Mic *2025-10-19, version 2.10.0* This software is an all-in one recording package when paired with the Shure MV-88+ mic. For beginners, it has simple presets. For those who want to tweak settings, it has mic pattern, gain, limiter, eq, and compression. It works consistently and without issue. However, you DO need to practice with it. It is simple to use, but there are so many options that it helps to test at home before the event. (Remember to put your phone on Do Not Disturb and Airplane Mode!) This software and mic reward recording knowledge. While you can get by with a preset, understanding the basics of live audio recording will be a welcome investment with surprisingly large returns in such a little package. I’ve been a recording enthusiast for 30 years and remember when the features on this app would have been six separate 19” racks. I use this gear to record live bands and orchestras (volunteer, not paid). I have not used it with other Shure mics other than MV-88+. I did buy the MV-88+ kit with Pixi tripod and phone clamp/mic holder. It is a brilliant package. I also purchased the fuzzy mic cover for wind protection. Note that if you use the fuzzy wind cover and wide angle lens, you should invert the phone so the wind cover and camera are as far apart as possible to avoid picking it up in-frame. It is great. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — 헤드셋 *2025-09-13, version 2.9.0* 아이폰15 사용중입니다. Shure 88+를 연결하고 처음사용할 때 <헤드셋, 기타기기> 선택하는 것 중에 헤드셋을 선택했더니 헤드셋으로 설정이 됐고 녹음이 핸드폰 자체에서 녹음한것과 다름이 없습니다. 다른 친구는 헤드폰이 아니라 Shure MV88+ 라고 표시되고 녹음도 퀄리티가 다릅니다. 해결 방법 궁금합니다. ### 5/5 — Great quality *2025-08-05, version 2.8.0* This app is way better than your default camera mic and using the mv88+ you have so many great settings and adjustments I’m happy with this app and the mv88+ ### 5/5 — 神アプデ *2025-07-18* 収録したビデオの選択が可能になった。今まで一つ一つ選んで写真やファイルに保存しなければならなかったが一括で可能に。本当にありがたい。 **Developer response:** レビューいただきありがとうございます。Shureのアプリをご利用いただきありがとうございます。 ### 5/5 — Restore files *2025-04-18, version 2.7.0* It’s a good app. However can I restore the file? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
