### 1/5 — Smartmike+ iOS problem

*2025-03-25, version 2.8.4*

Please update the software for this device. You could not be contacted by e-mail... recording errors appeared. Remove the mistakes.

### 4/5 — I like this mix

*2025-02-17, version 2.8.4*

I Have been using this mic to do my YouTube videos very good Mic you just have to talk at a regular tone of Voice keep it about 6 inches from your mouth .

### 2/5 — Get a lapel that comes with a receiver instead!

*2024-04-19, version 2.8.4*

I record videos constantly for work, when it’s working it sounds really good, video isn’t bad, it’s a fight to get the 4K to not distort though. 
Audio either sounds great or horrible. It won’t let me adjust gain levels leading to constant pops and snaps. 
The audio drops out constantly making me get creative with video edits, and even needing to redo shots. It could be great, but if you use an iPhone and need a mic just get a wireless lapel that comes with a Bluetooth receiver that plugs into your input jack on your phone. They’re 20 bucks on Amazon and you can even use the native camera app on your iPhone. No more retakes and no more messing with creative video and audio edits to fix bad sound quality. Wish I could like it, but after 4 months of weekly use I’m not impressed whatsoever. I can clean up phone mic audio better than I can fix these issues. Phones have 4K video now and can shoot pro quality shots, it’s time the audio matched.

### 1/5 — Unreliable Mic.. lost ALL recordings

*2023-12-02, version 2.8.4*

This microphone is completely unreliable. We lost all our work, thinking that it was recording through the app all lights on, we even downloaded the latest app version and still did not work. A big financially loss, will not use mic again:(

### 3/5 — Can’t adjust the gain

*2023-09-16, version 2.8.4*

I like this app but I’ll have to stop using it because I can’t adjust the gain. The gain is greyed out so I can’t change it which results in distortion and a crackling sound when things get louder. I’ve tried contacting the company for help but no one replied.

### 1/5 — Only fully compatible with certain phones

*2023-08-28, version 2.8.4*

I had an iPhone 12 and used this app all the time because I loved the camera features such as Picture in Picture but when I upgraded to iPhone 14 I lost all those abilities. Now the 2 mics I have are useless and I feel like I wasted time and money on this app. Please update to support more IOS updates and newer phone models

### 2/5 — buggy ... good features but they don't work 🤷🏼‍♀️

*2023-05-27, version 2.8.4*

I really want to like this app. There is a teleprompter option so you can read lines while
directly looking at the camera but they are hard to input and hard to adjust.
then there is a caption option. it almost works but not really.
and then after spending lots of time fixing the captions, I try to download the video with captions and get a syntex error.

soooo, it would be much better not to have this feature. i would have gone elsewhere for the captions that took ages to fix.

also, never heard back from CS on the topic

### 1/5 — 4K doesn’t work - Broken App

*2023-01-08*

Have had this for two years now, and the biggest problems are the following: 

1) You need to run this mic through an app, rather than it just being plug and play after connecting the mic through Bluetooth 

2) When you select 4k within the app, all of the sudden the picture becomes neon green and filled with static 

Given that it’s been two years, and the company seems to have an automated bot responding to the feedback on here, I would not bank on either of these issues ever getting fixed. 

However, if you only need to shoot things in 1080p and you don’t mind using the unnecessarily clunky app, than you could make this mic work for your purposes - Otherwise, wait for a better option to emerge.

### 1/5 — Исправьте проблему на iOS 16

*2022-09-17, version 2.8.3*

На iOS 16 работает ужасно запись… искажает звуки как робот… на Android’E без каких либо проблем записывает.

### 4/5 — Pairing 2 Mics

*2022-08-08, version 2.8.3*

Everything works fine, however I bought a 2nd Mic thinking I could use both and you can’t. What would it take to add a feature for multiple mics or at least two?
