RØDE Rec LE

I use this app a lot and wanted to upgrade to the full version which is encouraged here and in the app but it’s not available in New Zealand via the Apple App Store. Sad.

Tried this on iphone 8. Loads, but doesn’t record. So won’t be upgrading.

PRO option is nowhere to be found. Yes there is an entry in Rode blog that they have taken it down to update it but to no avail. How am I supposed to record in 96kHz now? Surprisingly I can share and delete my recordings normally despite other people having problems with that.

App will not run with iXY mic attached to iPhone 12 Pro Max. The mic powers up, I can even select 96Khz for my sample rate. But as soon as I hit the plus to start a new file, it crashes to the Home Screen.

Don’t use this terrible product. The App Store needs to remove this from their site to save people the headache of dealing with the nonsense of this company. I have to re-record everything using a different service now because there is no way to export it off of your phone.

Please do yourself a favor and don’t download this. This app was clearly made by people who don’t care about anything, especially ease of use, efficiency, or safety. If you use this for anything remotely professional, you’ll probably get screwed over big time. This app will decide to delete random tracks, export tracks as blank txt files that are 0kb, stop recording randomly, or simply freeze mid use. On the off chance it actually successfully records something, good luck getting it off your phone. No tracks will be saved to your phone, so you can manually extract; you’re at the mercy of this god awful company and their terrible servers. I honestly have never felt so strongly about a bad company as I have for this one. How terrible their app is has made me sell my two rode mics and exclusively buy from their competitors. This app will only give you nightmares and make you constantly question your poor, poor choices, if you download it.

The design and the app functions itself don’t help users use Rode Smartlav+ better, just make it more inconvenient and hard to record, send and review

WOW!!! You’d think a company with good hardware would have enough sense to put some effort into the software side of the technology. Nope!! Rode needs a reality check.... Hey!! Don’t offer hardware if you can’t commit to decent software to back it up. And if you can’t commit to making a decent app then don’t waste offer it at all. Do your self a favor and remove the app from the store so we’re not all stuck in the abyss trying to make the S* app work. The creativity I had flowing was ruined by this less than half A* effort of an app.

Why is this buggy app still around? There are no recent updates, it’s hard to move media out of it, just read the other reviews, thus tarnishes the Rode brand.

Recordings will not transfer. “The file size is too big” is all I get. When trying to upgrade it says, “not available in your country.”
