The fact it resets settings for resolution every time it restarts is absurd, also can’t save in any pro video formats or any of the controls I’d expect. At least what’s in Final Cut camera. That said it works well enough to work on the go without me having to wire the headphones up or sync audio layer. ### 2/5 — Not compatible with my Rhode MIC *2026-07-09* Can’t find the Rhode Wireless GO 1. Generation ### 4/5 — Needs two additions…. *2026-06-14* Great app but needs to be able to keep settings without defaulting back to FHD or the default mic setting on restart. Also needs the Exposure Compensation slider as per the IPhone camera app. ### 4/5 — Spiegeln der Frontkamera *2026-06-11* Mit der Bitte um eine Funktion zum Spiegeln der Frontkamera ### 2/5 — Audio glitch *2026-02-06, version 1.3.146* I was so excited to test my new NT-USB+ with iPhone 16 to record piano practices. However I’ve noticed random high pitch glitch in audio once in a while. So basically it is not usable at all for my use case. ### 3/5 — probleme *2025-12-17* en passant en mode dual caméra quand je filme tout est normal sauf que le problème quand j’enregistre le côté visage est à l’envers il faudrait régler ça dans une mise à jour s’il vous plaît et je mettrai cinq étoiles ! ### 3/5 — Mitigée *2025-09-12* Le son est top avec le matériel adéquat mais l’appli me mets régulièrement un message d’interruption je ne sais pour quoi raison et me faire du coup prendre la moitié des vidéos tournées ! C’est vraiment relou de bosser comme ça ### 2/5 — Great app that got ruined with updates *2025-07-07* The visuals or the app are phenomenal, yet each update makes the app worse than previous one. The latest update makes the sound suddenly stop recording in the middle of the video, so you never know if what you recorded will actually get saved. Before releasing updates make sure they are bug free! Used to work amazing, now use of it just adds to frustration ### 1/5 — This app is pretty terrible *2025-06-12, version 1.3.128* I love these mics but this app is horrible. It likes to pick and choose when it stabilizes video. It would appear that when your phone battery is low, the app begins to get buggy. I’ve also had issues with the app capturing audio out of sync with the video. For the love of God fix this app or just scrap it all together. Why produce something that so bad. Put some effort into it. For reference I’m using an IPhone 14pro 1TB. Fix your app or change it and have it link to Apple and Android phone camera where we can control its settings from there. ### 2/5 — Like the app but major issue *2025-06-09* It records upside down the dual camera mode..it shows normal while recording … but the output is always upside down ### 3/5 — Opens up more options, but… *2025-06-02* It’s great to have access to more camera functionality, however, one glaring omission for anyone with a semi-new iPhone is the lack of zoom options: 5x, 28mm and 35mm. Otherwise, a decent little app for shooting both front and back cameras! ### 3/5 — Just Use Final Cut Camera *2025-05-24* Something’s pretty off with how the app handles switching between cameras when zooming, making it almost look like a mosaic filter has been applied before it catches up and switches to the right camera. (used on an iPhone 14 Pro Max) ### 4/5 — Review *2025-05-23* This app is so amazing and records in 4K but I think the only weak point about is its front cam has no border style, width and color. Its front cam should have border styles like circular, square etc. ### 2/5 — Приложение вылетает *2025-05-20* Пишет “unable to contact system resources” и выключается. ### 2/5 — Recorded video was not saved *2025-05-12* The app by itself is actually great, it allows for many different things, but the last video I shot was not saved to the camera roll and it’s a big deal for me because what I recorded was important! I think it was due to my storage, but why couldn’t it stop recording instead of just deleting the whole footage? Also it would be nice to have volume settings saved, I always need to adjust it to the same value ### 2/5 — Lots of Issues *2025-05-12* I’ve had a very frustrating experience using this app. I mainly switched because the default record volume while using the iPhone’s camera app is very low. Switching to this app caused a lot of problems. The white balance constantly gets out of whack, causing a forced restart. The video quality overall is lower for some reason which is an odd default setting. It also keeps telling me I’m out of storage when I have dozens of GB left on my device. Hard to recommend this. ### 1/5 — Makes my Roda AI Micro Useless *2025-05-01* The requirement for iOS 16 prevents me from recording video with older devices, because the Micro AI does not preserve settings without a Rode app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rode Mic 3 cannot connect *2026-06-10* Not connecting and simply do not show it đồ someone or not ### 1/5 — Wont connect after 1 use *2026-06-08* Rode wireless 3 connected once for a test now every time I open the app they wont connect 🙃 ### 1/5 — Glaring omission *2026-05-31* s a professional content creator utilizing the RØDE ecosystem, the total absence of a native teleprompter/autocue in RØDE Capture is a critical operational bottleneck.While the app’s technical audio integration is excellent, video production requires workflow efficiency. Forcing solo creators to choose between advanced RØDE audio control and maintaining direct eye contact via third-party script apps defeats the purpose of an all-in-one "Pro" video tool.An autocue isn't a luxury feature; it is the fundamental framework of modern mobile video delivery. Please prioritize a native, scrolling text-overlay feature in the next development cycle so creators don't have to abandon the app for competitors who understand creative workflows. ### 1/5 — Aufnahmen nur hochkant möglich. *2026-01-08* Leider unterstützt die App nur hochkant Aufnahmen. 16x9 nicht möglich. Für mich unbrauchbar. ### 1/5 — Significant sync & audio issues *2025-09-05* The latest release (1.3.134) has introduced significant sync issues and audio playback problems. I have lip-sync ‘drift’ on camera/audio evident within a few minutes of a recording. And when reviewing saved files in iOS Photos, the audio then drops out part way through a file/video. These are new problems that make the app’s output unusable unless you’re prepared manually edit-sync in post production, which - needless to say - shouldn’t be necessary. Please fix this Rode! [Edited to acknowledge that, yes, Rode has listened and issued a fix. Thank you.] **Developer response:** Hi there, We wanted to let you know that a recent update has been released to address this issue. New videos recorded using this application will no longer experience the behaviour where audio drops out during playback. For any existing recordings, you can export them to your editor of choice and then export the data from there to retrieve the full recording with audio. Thanks, and apologies for the inconvenience. ### 1/5 — Audio cuts out in the middle of videos *2025-08-30* I have four separate videos in which I am recording reviews of products fully stationary or with little movement and partially into the video the audio stops. Incredibly frustrating. Now I must redo all my work with a different more reliable program. Incredibly disappointing, now I truly understand the low reviews. **Developer response:** Hi there, We wanted to let you know that a recent update has been released to address this issue.

Please fix this Rode! ### 1/5 — Cut out audio *2025-08-17, version 1.3.134* I was glad to use the app and have my audio line from an instrument, but I noticed every time my audio would cut off on playback with my iPhone. I used another app which has lower playback quality, but the audio did not drop. ### 1/5 — CANT USE FLASHLIGHT?! HOW TF CAN YOU MESS UP A SIMPLE FEATURE *2025-07-07* The only good part about this app is the mic, besides that the whole app is pointless. Blackmagic camera app is the same. What moron decided it would be a great feature to use a “auto” flash feature which doesn’t even work instead of adding an “on” button. You don’t understand how such a minor error like this can be so annoying when trying to make a video ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2025-07-05, version 1.3.130* A lot of problems don’t used don’t used if you make videos or any kind of videos don’t use this app even if you have any rode wireless products ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Designed for RØDE video production *2026-03-08* I read other reviews and no it’s not the best STAND ALONE camera app but if you’re using it with the RODE Video or Video S it makes your video production skyrocket! I run 4 cameras to my switcher no wires with no problem. ### 5/5 — 长焦摄像头选择 *2026-02-13* 后摄未能调用iPhone的3X/5X长焦镜头，都是主摄放大裁切，希望可以添加摄像头选择 ### 5/5 — iPhone 13 *2025-09-04* Разработчик исправил ошибку, которая не позволяла видео отправлять в телеграмм. Проблема со звуком после 1 минуты съёмки решена. Спасибо большое! **Developer response:** Привет! Мы хотели сообщить вам о недавнем обновлении, решающем эту проблему. В новых видео, записанных с помощью этого приложения, больше не будет возникать проблема с прерыванием звука во время воспроизведения. Вы можете экспортировать имеющиеся записи в предпочитаемый вами редактор, а затем экспортировать оттуда данные, чтобы получить полную запись со звуком. Спасибо и приносим извинения за доставленные неудобства. ### 5/5 — Dual Camera for UltraWide (0,5x plus front camera) please *2024-12-19* Please also make it possible to combine Dual Camera in UltraWide (0,5x plus front camera) please. This is great especially for vlogging scenarios, where you want to coming something while shooting in the ultra wide view. Thank you ! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-11-23* Very easy and intuitive to use. Feature rich. Thank you 😎👍 ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение *2024-05-07* Благодарю разработчиков за это приложение! Все работает отлично так как и ожидаешь. ### 5/5 — App Crashing *2024-02-21, version 1.2.84* I love this app but now it is crashing. PLEASE UPDATE SOON! ### 5/5 — Awesome App, just want a feature or two *2023-09-03* This app is really good, especially for newcomers, easy to use and fun to record with. The only thing I wanted to see is the Ability to use other devices for mic, like using my AirPods as a microphone instead of my iPhones mic or mentioned RØDE mics which I don’t have, it will be a nice feature and helps make the app more versatile. Other feature is when the video is done recorded and saved, I would like to see what camera lens was used when recording, the app already lets me use which lens I want, just when the video is saved, it will show me the location recorded, quality, frame rate recorded, file size etc. but not the lens, it will say “No camera information” and “No lens information”. I’ll be waiting for the update. Thank for reading ### 5/5 — Excellent app !! *2023-05-18* What a gift - well done and thank you RØDE ! ### 5/5 — Seems to work well *2023-05-16* Works great! Nice to see the app it free! I will definitely test this out next time I record --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
