RØDE Rec App Reviews

141 add

Look I followed susan’s advice and it works I also increased the sample rate to 48000 Hz. Why. Could Rhode not notify us.It stopped working all of a sudden when beforehand it had been working ok. It has been 6 months since I had been able to use it and I was going to delete the app Thank you Susan for your feedbacks.

The app was working fine until about 6 months ago ,,,now the app no longer records on iPhone 6 and 8 . Support is pathetic .....Rode is more interested in microphones I suspect they refer you to some 6 irrelevant support questions. I cannot even give this a star as the app does not work on iPhones so do not buy until / or if the problem is fixed

I installed Rode Rec on my iPhone 7 today. The record button does not work. I now have four empty recordings that Icannot delete. What a waste of money

Delete the RODE rec app and reinstall it, then explicitly allow the RODE Rec app have access to the iPhone7 microphone. I had trouble doing this from the Settings > General > Privacy > Microphone path (RODE rec app wasn't showing up). Upon reinstalling I still couldn't see the RODE rec app in my settings BUT as I set up the app luckily it asked me to use the microphone. You also need to click the microphone icon in the lower left of the screen and configure the sample rate to 48000 Hz.

The best

Awesome app. The best sound recorder and editor for iOS.

Outdated

Recording is fine. But sharing a nightmare. No Airdrop or other quick possibilities of sharing between iOS devices without a internet connection. Doing field recordings in the wild and trying to transfer files to external drives is also not possible. Please wake up Rode.

The app doesnt record on iPhone 6s Plus!!!

Please fix the problem for 6s plus, cos I bought RODE iXY stereo mic especially for my iPhone and for recording our rehearsals in stereo. Please fix the problem! Best regards, Alex PS Dear developers, I paid for the and for Rode stereo mic. Please update the app for it to work properly on the iPhone 6S Plus, for which I actually bought all that stuff!

Just upgraded but no access all the audio that I paid to edit.

Im not sure if this company isnt receiving enough bad reviews to fix these problems. I had audio, I wanted to edit, I was offered an upgrade to get editing features, and it installs a new app with none of the audio files I had in the lite version and no apearantly intuitive way of porting them over. So I cant cut them down, can email them to myself because there are no settings for compressing the files down to MP3 or similar. This is totally unacceptable and I may need to waste my time looking for a refund for $6 now. Please dont release updates that dont work, and please dont charge for them.

Absolutely Worst App

App never exported work. Emailed support and they gave me instructions on how to perform surgery by installing random third party software to extract the raw data and then use a collection of mostly non-working third party software to recompile it back to a listening format again. Have spent maybe 6 hours trying to salvage my works. I highly do not recommend this product. It is broken. And they are barely maintaining this app.

Line in jack not working

I just got a stereo Videomic X and trying to records by plug in my iPhone 6 Plus, it was fine until I installed this Rode Rec...... After I installed this app, the Rode Rec and the Voice Memos will only record sound from the build-in mic only......

Come on guys get your act together

Røde is usually a great company and when I downloaded this app originally for my iPhone 5 I was so happy to finally have a great recording app but I must say they have failed their customers with their service and their inability to provide a working app for the iPhone 6s Plus and new iOS,please please please fix this app so that I may write a good review

Works very well on iPhone 6S

I was concerned when I was looking for a microphone to record audio for my video. (The on camera mic for my well-loved Nikon D5300 wouldnt cut it for my needs.) The reviews of this app scared the daylights out of me but...I bought it anyway. Though I havent played with the EQ settings yet, Im VERY happy to report I didnt have _ANY_ problems getting my iPhone 6S to run the app, get audio right away (it _does_ ask for access to the phones built-in mic port-which is the earpiece port) and export the audio a few different ways. Maybe I was fortunate to get updates that werent available to previous reviewers. No fears, no worries on my end. Looks like a great app that will work very, very well for me!

APP WORKS ON 6S

I was very hesitant to buy this app after reading the numerous reviews that says it doesnt work. I ended up taking a $7 gamble and it paid off. This app has been working 100% for me. This is the only app Ive found that lets me adjust mic input level so when I use my lav for motovlogging it doesnt max out and brick my recordings. Hopefully this means Rode fixed any of the problems its been having previously.

Insulting

Absolutely terrible. I mean, how dare you, really. Im returning the recorder today. I dont want to use the equipment of a company that pushes out a $6 app for their $200 microphone— an app that barely works, is hard to navigate, is ugly, and is so buggy its not I want to scream. Nope, no more Rode products from me. How many people have to complain about this? This should have been free for those of us that bought the iXY. Totally insulting.

Piece of Sh...shadow!

Lousy! App doesnt work nor mic detected . Waisted money :(

Rode App

Just installed the rode rec app on my iPhone 6s and it doesnt work Disappointed in the money I lost. Should have read reviews before purchasing.

It doesnt recognize my rode smartlav+

I bought this app to solve the microphone recognize problem of rode rec Le, but it doesnt work. I cant record stereo voice with this app and microphone... I want my money back.

Over-rated, un-supported app!

Not as great as most YouTube vids about this app, PLUS there is NO Audiobus support. My musician friends, stay away from this!!

Works very well

No issues at all on iphone 5s, 6s or iPad. Good quality recordings, and no issue with noise. Needs a better manual.

Unable to Record

I bought the well reviewed Rode i-XY but upon realizing I couldnt adjust gain bought the Rode Rec app. Design of the app is dismal. Record button is inactive so I cant record. I have an iPhone 6s. Customer service took almost two weeks to respond to a help request and advised me to make sure I didnt have a phone case on. This is not a good experience. Very disappointed.

Works perfect with iPhone 6+

I just used this app for a corporate video that I shot and it worked flawlessly. I was very impressed with the quality of sound that I got from using this app with my smartLav+. I was also impressed with how easy it was to send the files to my Dropbox account. I love this app. But from other reviews it seems it doesnt work with the iPhone 6S. So, I wont be upgrading to an iPhone 6S anytime soon.
