### 1/5 — Start & Stop that’s it ???

*2026-09-02, version 1.0.2*

Beyond pathetic. At the very least I’d like to at least know what mics are on and their settings, 120°, 90° or mono. I should’ve read the reviews before I purchased the Bluetooth dongle. I fully expected that I’d be able to change these settings. The inability to check the current mic settings via Bluetooth is unacceptable. You do get the amount of time remaining, the sample rate and the file name after you hit record.

I have to say my mind was blown away by the quality of the recording this device achieves. In this regard, it’s awesome. Thrilled and disappointed at the same time.

### 1/5 — Is This It?

*2026-08-14, version 1.0.2*

I paid about $50 bucks for the BTA-1 and about $180 for my H2 Essentials Zoom Recorder based on a recommendation from ChatGPT. I’ll be using it to record business meetings and podcasts. And all the app basically does is allow you to hit record and stop. I feel kinda cheated. The app has so much potential. I want to be able to adjust all the settings, set markers, transcribe, and change the mic/audio all from the app (just to name a few features). This app needs to be as high-tech as the recorders.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-08-11*

Only shows the main output meters not individual channels on h6 studio. I hope future updates make a better design and functionality

### 1/5 — So much potential…missed.

*2026-07-15, version 1.0.2*

This makes it easy to connect with the H2n 32 bit microphone.

But the app only allows you to start and stop recording!

There’s so much functionality inside the h2n, that makes this app an opportunity squandered.

The huge sales of the H2n should give Zoom sufficient reason to support this app properly.

Until then, their Bluetooth adapter is irrelevant and pointless.

### 1/5 — Disappointing with H5 Studio

*2026-06-07, version 1.0.2*

I purchased the incredibly high quality H5 Studio recently. It is a new piece of kit, so I expected the BTA-1 to allow connection to this app to provide additional functionality from my phone. What a disappointment to find all it does is start and stop recording! Such a missed opportunity. Don't bother buying the BTA-1 Bluetooth adaptor if This is all it does.

### 1/5 — 録音の開始と停止しか出来ない

*2026-05-28*

本気ですか？
アダプタ買わるくせに、録音の開始と停止しか出来ない。
音量調整もマイクの切り替えも出来ない。
そしてアダプタは本体に納まらずはみ出している。
あり得ない。

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-05-27, version 1.0.2*

No real updates, no additional functionality, bought the bluetooth module, ugly, sticking out of my h2essentials and it’s practically useless.

### 1/5 — No helpful…

*2026-05-25, version 1.0.2*

A remote control app can only start and stop recording. Maybe add the function to adjust gain? Something the app for H8 able to do since 2020?

### 1/5 — Bummer

*2026-05-17, version 1.0.2*

This app doesn’t deliver much of anything useful other than remote start and stop. You can’t enable/disable inputs. You can’t adjust levels. You can’t accurately monitor levels - they can be clipping red on the device but won’t show it in the app. You can have four channels running on the device but only see a stereo pair in the app. Not worth getting the bluetooth dongle unless you use it to sync time code. Missed opportunity zoom. Make a better app.

### 1/5 — Pointless app

*2026-02-01, version 1.0.2*

Zoom Corp, please wake up: have you not researched your what your main competitor, Tascam, is doing? Their wireless control app for their Portacapture can control everything with their devices, albeit only one device at a time. But their app can set gain, reverb, pause, etc… Yours can only start and end recording with multiple devices; you app can’t even pause. That’s far from enough.
If this app doesn’t improve my next handy recorder will just be Tascam.
