User reviews

What’s up

Disappointed with this app now. I have been using it for quite some time. It was sufficient in the beginning and worked really well ,but now I’m having trouble. It doesn’t load properly. I haven’t seen any improvements in the app for as long as I’ve been using it. I’m disappointed. Sound Devices has not updated.

Everything disappeared

After an entire day of shooting and nearly 100 logs recorded, all the logs disappeared. Wiped out for no reason. This is the most pathetic app that there is. If you want all you work to go to waste this is your app.

Was Useful, Now, Just Crashes

The app was helpful when it worked for the past year and a half. Now, it just crashes on boot.

Great in general, small bug.

Great app, it works well in general. But with the newer phones (iPhone 15 pro max), the Dynamic Island of the phone hides the scene name over the timecode on the main screen. A slight redesign is necessary and overdue to fix this.

Also, it would be great to have more options to control the gain, faders and menu options from the app (Like the Zoom F8 Control app does).
