RØDE Rec LE

I would give 0 stars if I could. I have written angry e-mails to Rode multiple times about the disgusting app they offer, but they don't care. Why would a support person care about anything their employer is doing? They just want to make money and go home. So do I, by the way, but thats extremely difficult when you record audio and can't actually extract the files. You can't share files through any traditional manner. No messages, no Airdrop. If you want to e-mail a file, you'd better hope its a short file. (< 1 minute) Want to use File Sharing? Then you need to use this archaic web interface that hasn't been updated since 2008 (like the app itself) By the way, none of these problems will be fixed in the pro version. They offer more broken ways to share files, and more broken features for you to become upset with. It is my genuine belief that some executive let his 15 y/o nephew program the app for free. I have a 7 minute sound file paramount to my continued employment trapped inside the Rode Rec app. Too large to e-mail, and the soundcloud / file sharing features don't work. I've e-mailed Rode, I've messaged them on Twitter, and have heard nothing back, because of course I haven't. There is nothing I could do, except not have recorded the file in such an embarrassingly terrible piece of software. RIP, I guess. Don't make the mistake I made. Do business with Rode's competitors like Samson or Yeti.

I have no clue what their budget is for this app but I bet it isn't 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 that'll 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.

I’d like to give this 5* and probably would have when I first bought it. However it’s been a “few years” since then and there have been no significant upgrades in capability or in UI. From my use: it’s torturous to get a recording set up - yes, I know about presets - the sharing of the asset is looking as old as AOL and most times, frankly, it doesn’t work. However, when the planets are aligned correctly, this app really works very well. Close to excellent. But time moves on and I’m finding I’m using the audio capabilities of FilmicPro more than I am of Rode Rec.

This app was once known as Fire before Rode acquired the app. Now the app seems to be fairly weak at best. But I can't 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 can't get the app to work, buttons grayed out, etc. Fire was a breeze to use and it's curious why the app now is so buggy and difficult. Also a shame that a solid hardware company like Rode can't make this app sing.

I can’t understand the bad reviews for this app. I have used it literally hundreds of times with the rode lav mic. It always works, sounds good and offloaded the files quick and easy. Maybe my workflow is more simple but it’s always worked for me. I use an iPhone 6s 16gb and no problems at all.
