Review Analysis

Insights from user reviews.

Sentiment Score

22%
Negative

Summary

Overall user sentiment for the app is predominantly negative, with numerous reports of critical functional issues. Users frequently experience difficulties with the app failing to recognize or record with external Rode microphones, often defaulting to the device's internal mic, alongside pervasive problems with app crashes, glitches, and general unreliability. Many are frustrated by a decline in audio quality, including static, distortion, and high-frequency filtering in newer versions, as well as the absence of crucial features like in-app firmware updates for iOS and consistent background recording. While a small number of users appreciate its basic functionality, ease of use, and good sound quality when it does work, the overwhelming feedback points to significant performance and compatibility challenges, particularly with newer iOS versions and iPhone models.
