## F8 Control Description
F8 Control is an app that enables remote control of the ZOOM F8/F8n/F8n Pro.
With it, you can use an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (5th generation and later) as a wireless remote controller for an F8/F8n/F8n Pro.
In addition to the fundamental operations of starting/stopping recording/playback and searching forward/backward, this app allows the adjustment of trim levels and mixer pan and fader settings.
You can also use it to monitor input levels, timecode information and remaining battery charge.
Moreover, using this app, you can input characters from the iOS device to edit file names and add metadata as well as transfer date and time information for use when recording.

Features
■ Create monitor mixes easily
-Using the mixer screen that supports multi-touch, you can easily create monitor mixes as though using a traditional mixer.

■ Control an F8/F8n/F8n Pro that is inside a protective case
-During field recording, you can check and control levels using the device in your hand without needing to look into the protective case on the F8/F8n/F8n Pro.

■ Input metadata
-Using the iOS device keyboard, you can input all types of metadata. You can even type long entries without hassle.

■Set the date and time
-The F8/F8n/F8n Pro date and time can be adjusted to match that of the iOS device. This allows you to set the time accurately with ease.

## F8 Control Reviews in United States

### *---- "Nope"
Adding the Bluetooth add on file to the SD card did not result in a dialogue when powering up the F8n Pro asking if I wanted to install it, as stated in the Zoom tutorial. So, it’s not even a matter of it not working, it just plain doesn’t install in the manner they have laid out.
-- penguincubist, 2024-10-05

### *---- "If you have a updated ios it won’t work because of laziness"
Update needed. If anyone with iOS 13 or above has gotten it to work please let me know how. These complaints have been happening for years and it would be an easy fix but zoom is lazy and still won’t update for new iOS so when I use this at events I am stuck running back and forth and getting bad audio quality. Even their external Bluetooth solution for older models won’t work. So what to I need to do buy an old Apple device specifically so I can remotely control this expensive device??
-- Maxy921, 2023-03-05

### ****- "Handy and useful supplemental control surface"
A nice addition that allows you to use an iOS device to control and configure the F8 mixer series. Doesn’t have 100% of the main unit’s functions but transport control, levels, mixing, and some metadata editing are available. Some features are not available on iOS such as all card functions and full metadata editing, but it’s still a very useful app. Perhaps future versions will have more features and will fully mirror that main unit’s controls.

### *---- "I cant connect on iOS15"
I recently installed this app an am running on iOS15 and it wont give me the prompt to enter my bluetooth pairing password. It just gives me a white page. Even on my iPad running the new iPad OS.
-- VaMhazi, 2021-10-06

### *---- "Not working for me"
Not sure if this is still being updated, but crashing when trying to connect to the recorder. Used to work a couple of years ago but no more. PLEASE FIX
-- Johndicott, 2021-02-04

### ***** "Connect to iPad"
To connect to iPad on the mixer go to system->bluetooth->select iOS 13. Until I did this I couldn’t connect.
-- scottabingf8, 2020-12-04

### *---- "I’d give a 0, if I could."
I cannot connect to either my iPhone 11 max pro or my iPad Pro. The app lists the f8n. I tap on it. It does not bring up a dialogue to enter the password displayed on the F8n. Instead, it redisplays the Bluetooth devices list again, with no entries. 

I have tried this numerous times on both the iPad and the iPhone. Always with the same results.
-- Bob Plank, 2020-10-08

### *---- "Not compatible with iOS 13?"
When prompting Bluetooth connection it offers “timecode” or “iOS 9-12.” My iPhone is on iOS 13 and while I can select “connect” it won’t prompt me with a dialogue to enter the connection passcode. I just get a blank box that I can’t navigate past. Needs and update for compatibility.
-- Vegaz Dayve, 2020-08-19

### *---- "Frustrated"
I can’t get it to work on my iPad Air ....followed all the instructions with no results...screen comes up  on the iPad but it won’t prompt me for the password I see on the F8n screen it just sits there with some random numbers....after paying 900 dollars I expect the app would work...I also viewed utube for instructions over and over again ..what little hair I had left on my head is gone...also dleated the app and reinstalled it several times with the same results....FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE FIX
-- Masshound1, 2020-05-09

### *---- "F8 control doesn’t work on iPads with iOS 13.2"
Tried F8 control on both my iPad mini and Pro using IOS 13.2 and it will not connect. No problem with my iPhone and the current os for it.  10/31/19
