Love the new version

I have a lot of food stuff to say about Open Reel. I liked the first version alright, but this new version is much simpler and easy to use and the customer service from these guys is SO quick and helpful. I’ve been using Open Reel consistently for two years and it just keeps getting better, I strongly recommend this for anyone trying to record remotely. It’s the sort of thing I’d expect to be kind of a nightmare, but Open Reel makes it easy. Keep up the great work Open Reel team!
