do NOT use this trash app.

Stay far away from this garbage app! I just wasted 30 minutes recording audio on it, only to find out there's absolutely no sound.

Simple to use but one major issue

I prefer to use a simple recording app like this with my Rode mic but have one recommendation - recording should still continue even when phone screen is off. The automatic stop on a recording if phone is not open on app is very restrictive and not practical.

Does not support Direct Connect

This app has not been updated to support R0DE’s Direct Connect feature.

Please rethink file names

I love this app. I have a change request. Please name saved files something sane like, YYYY-MM-DD_hhmmss.wav
Twenty-four hour time. No spaces, no commas, no other punctuation characters. Yes, I know, I can rename the files but that is a pain to do on the phone. Would be so much nicer if it were sane in the first place. Bonus points, let the user specify a custom format using, for example, format specifiers for the c library function, strftime(). Also, document the interaction (or non-interaction?) between Rode reporter app and Rode central app. Seems like reporter does not honor settings made in rode central - mic gain on the Rode AI-micro for example.

Great

Requests:
1) make it play recordings in the background
2) use the current location and date/time for names, like ios voice memos.
3) make the waveform larger, it’s really tiny, i can’t see if it peaks
4) oh there’s no way to edit the recording…

Doesn’t work on my ipad

Doesn’t record and will not record on my ipad

高頻被新版本過濾衰減

出廠版本會有機械聲雜音,更新版本後雜音消失,但測試麥克風頻譜發現大約9khz~20khz聲音被新版本過濾衰減約有10db以上,與RODE提供的麥克風頻譜明顯不同。

App nimmt nicht auf

Obwohl das Mikrofon freigeschaltet ist werden die Töne in der App nicht empfangen.

Video mic ME-L

I downloaded this app because the Rode help page said I could update the microphone but there is no update function. Mic has static.

App not working

We buy expensive microphone and trying to work with that low quality app. That’s not good.

Costo excesivo

No viene información clara de los costos. Al descargar, sin anunciar costos se me hizo un cobro de $3,050. Se me hace un exceso y más por la falta se claridad en la descripción

Не работает с 16 pro max

При подключенном микрофоне, пишет родным, встроенным

Consumes Background activity energy

In the last 10days the app consumed 8% of all energy of my Iphone 16 and I was not using the app for months. So what was it doing?

It is so glitchy

It’s worked just a few times on my iPhone 13 Pro. I’ve updated it etc. I can’t use the mic without the app ?!?!

Audio File Disappeared

Good app and good quality audio but had a 20min audio recording that disappeared and I cannot understand why, nor find it. No “deleted” bins, no settings, nothing.

No es una aplicación confiable

La instalé y me pareció raro que no se movieran las barras de sonido, emparejé el celular con el radio del carro y empezó a funcionar, después si cierras la app y la vuelves a abrir deja de funcionar nuevamente.

UNREADABLE library titles.

The version of this app that I downloaded in 2020 worked great. But the current version makes it impossible to read the tittles for my recordings. The date only is displayed in the library. If I want to read the title I have to click on every single recording individually. This is a HUGH time waster. ALSO this app does not synch between iOS devices using the iCloud. I’d like to record on the phone and edit on the iPad. This app won’t allow it. POOR.

Doesn’t work

Will not waste time writing much: One word for this app which doesn’t record: RUBBISH!

Stopped Recording

Have used it for several years. It just stopped recording and playback recordings from previous. I lost all my previous recordings of conversations.

Frustrating and Bad

90% of the time it doesn’t register my Rode AI Micro properly, making it impossible to record. The whole point of the AI Micro is supposed to be easy on the go recording, but the only way I can use it on my iPhone is to adjust the AI Micro mic settings in the Rode Connect App and record in Voice Memo 🙄
