Needs work but gets the job done

Ive used this app in several different ways with my the app. I wish I could make markers or marker cues list. I once did a factory reset on my device & had to reinstall the bluetooth file too so make sure you have the file handy. Please update!!
F8

The the app is one of the best mixer recorders out there. With this app, it's versatility crushes the other mixers hands down. I can use it in a car scene and be in the car behind the actors from pretty far away too! The sad part is though, this app needs an update please. I love this company and it's products. This app looks great, never bugged on me ever. I need a way to use my headphones in the app, and other obvious issues mentioned above. Besides that. Amazing app. Amazing mixer. Please update!!!
I NEED this to work on my iPad, NOPE

By Appreshe8 (Pcmac user)

I appears to be a decent app, but I can only get it to work on my iPhone. iPhone IS NOT on to conflict! I’ve uninstalled and reinstall, I’ve update OS, I’ve turned my F8n on/off, restarted BT over and over again. I’ve barked at the moon, asked for a few “come on’s” and I get rain instead. Works fine on my iPhone, but an iPhone isn’t the viewing and tweaking size I NEED. On neither device is it recognized as an installed app, ask SIRI to find it turn on, troubleshoot it; her answer, “Sorry not an installed app.” =((((
Great but needs an update!

Love the app and the functionality. Tho it would be nice if the fader adjustments were a little less sensitive. So adjustments on a phone can be made without making 6 dB changes at the tiny twitch of a finger. UPDATE for the Metering on the mixer window is needed as it does not match the fader level of the the app: for instance there is always an offset and my fader level on the app will vary by ~3 dB from the fader reading on the mixer.
