Latest reviews of RØDE Rec LE app for iPhone and iPad
It just doesnt let me record. Its like torching 6 bucks down the toilet. Gimme my money back!
I just used this to record a 20-minute interview with a world leader. I watched every word in the waveform to be sure it did not clip. I stared at the screen that said "RECORDING" for the entire time. When I finished, the file produced was 57 seconds in duration and it was empty. When I restarted the program, the same file was 2 minutes and 2 seconds and still empty. This app is not suitable for any purpose.
After buying a $100 mic the app companion advertised doesnt work, tells me I need to spend $8 to buy their other app. (They do have a free reporter app that looks good. When I used it to compare sound quality from their mic to the iPhone built in mic, there was little difference.)
This app was once known as Fire before Rode acquired the app. Now the app seems to be fairly weak at best. But I cant get the LE version to even work. The buttons are grayed out and the only button that stands out is a request to upgrade to the paid version. The reviews at the paid version repeat the same issues for users - people cant get the app to work, buttons grayed out, etc. Fire was a breeze to use and its curious why the app now is so buggy and difficult. Also a shame that a solid hardware company like Rode cant make this app sing.
I have no clue what their budget is for this app but I bet it isnt much. Really upset this morning. I needed a recorder for my Rode Wireless Filmaker Mic and decided to give the app a try. I can not obtain the file. I assume you must upgrade to the paid version to get the file but I am not sure if thatll get the files off my computer. I am beyond ticked at Rode right now. It has actually made me wonder if their products are even worth the price they sell them at. I spent 400 dollars on a mic, at least give me an app that runs if your going to advertise about your app.
