IRig Recorder for Negative User Reviews
✓ Hard Work!Let me start on a positive note. The sound quality is good when used in conjunction with the Irig mic field, but man do they make make it difficult to use! You will also find yourself buying lots of little extras along the way which all adds up. I originally had the free version of this app, and contained with in it was the optimise volume feature. This is a really good feature. However, when I was trying to name one of my recordings the app crashed. I had to delete it and then reinstall it from the App Store. After doing this optimise volume feature was no longer visible. I then got the paid for version of the recorder thinking that the optimise volume might be included in that. It wasn't. I then discovered that I needed to register with IK multimedia in order to unlock this feature. By this time I had already bought the Irig mic field to work in conjunction with this app. This cost £61.79. After registering with IK multimedia for the full use of the app, I then tried to register the mic. This took about half an hour. Unbelievable. Every time I put the serial number in it told me that it's an invalid serial number. IK Multimedia use a strange zero figure with a line across it. I wasn't sure if this was meant to represent the letter 0, or a zero. This just added to my frustration. In the end I had to go to the website on a laptop to be able to successfully register the mic field. Success at last! However, there's more.... Once you have your recordings inside the recorder app it's very difficult to move them anywhere else. Also, you can't use Bluetooth with this app. I like to be able to listen to my recordings on a Bluetooth headset. This isn't possible. In order for me to do this I have to email my recordings to myself and then open them in another app completely independent of IK multimedia, in order to be able to listen to my recordings on my headphones. Another little niggle is that every time I connect the Irig mic to my iPhone, I have to remove my phone from its case in order to be able to make a proper connection via the infinity port. Like I say, hard work. I started this adventure trying to find a better quality alternative to the voice memos app on the phone. I thought for one blissful moment that I might just be able to use the Irig mic along with the voice memos app. This isn't possible either! The quality is definitely better when it's all working, but this is outweighed somewhat by all the hassle..Version: 2.0
✓ No SoundRecords well, can download and then play recordings, but cannot play on iPhone. What is wrong?.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Needs improvementThe metering of the input signal is very poor and the effects are more gimmicky than useful. Needs to be updated..Version: 2.0
✓ I want my Money Back!!Really Cheesy App!! #Lame.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Avoid !Paid for the pro version. Was all going well, until I wanted to check the manual and started to be asked to REGISTER an account, LOG IN, this, that, by the time I got there I decided to get rid of this bugger as I have much better things to do with my life that being forced to waste my time registering frigging accounts in order to read the manual for something I paid for in full. 1 star!!!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Worked great for a while.This app was great until it stopped working after 3 months..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Paid twice!The app and iRig Pro are great and been getting some good results. The old problem was when I uninstalled the app a re downloaded and was charged again. It appears to be missing the flag to know I’d already purchased it previously. Any possibility of a refund please?.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Can't email .wavBought for the specific reason the spec said export in compressed and uncompressed formats. Brilliant I thought, finally a recording app I can send stuff NOT in ridiculous .M4a But nooooooo, you come to send via email and the only option is M4a. Back to square one. Update or money back please. Very misleading..Version: 1.0
✓ Needs a little workThis app seems to be pretty good but after paying for and registering it I can't open any of the processors .It shows me being registered and all available apps loaded but they won't open. Other than that not bad..Version: 1.0
✓ Features Needed Now1 ) Universal app. 2) Ability to remotely control a second IOS device, i.e., with app installed on iPhone and iPad, can start / stop recording on second device, via Bluetooth or personal hotspot..Version: 1.5.3
✓ JunkDespite paying..I still get pop-ups...cant export...those are what I can only remember at the moment..I hate this app....Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not working ( recording ) in iPhone 5sI have been using this for long time but now when it comes to iPhone 5s it's not working not really sure y pls fix it thanks..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Terrible appIf you want to record static, this is the app for you. Steer clear of this garbage.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Update = FATALWAS extremely useful for school.. many ppl including me r screwed. 'file management is HIDDEN and not accessible thru itunes file sharing. The app no longer starts? praying for an updateee Lots of ppl r screwedddddd.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Good App - but it has a big flawGood App. It does what they say it does, but it has a big flaw. You can turn it off only by disabling it in the recently used applications on my iPhone. Something like this as I was instructed to do by one of the IK guys: - double-click on the Home button of your mobile device to view the most recently used applications - Touch and hold the application icon until it begins to wiggle, then tap '-' (minus symbol) - click the Home button to stop the apps wiggling - click again the Home button to exit the view of the recently used applications. Well, I really think that this App should have a Turn Off button or something. I`m sure that this is going to be integrated soon enough, because...this is too big of a flaw. Good App though..Version: 1.0
✓ It's not opening...Can't open this on my iPad after IOS 5! I have the mic, etc. any ideas.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Terrible!I record and hear nothing very low volume..Version: 3.0.1
✓ No longer opens (update 1.0.1)I updated this app to version 1.0.1 and it will not open anymore. I have restarted, reloaded, etc and no luck. It WAS a good app but since I can't even open it, that's obviously no longer the case. DONT UPDATE!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Could be betterToo fiddly. Would be great if you could send the file as MP3, but pretty useless without..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Seems promising but...I don't like the fact that I need to create a user account with them for some functions to work or to see the user manual. I already paid my $5!!! It should be completely functional without requiring a registration. Anyway, I just created a new account and consistently get a "Unable to authenticate user" message. Other than that It seems like a great alternative to iAudition (which, by the way, does not require jumping through hoops to get full functionality). I know it's a 1.0 version, so i will update review and rating when it works as it should and the registration bug is fixed..Version: 1.0
✓ Fatally FlawedI purchased and installed this app on my iPhone 4 and iPad 3gen, both with the latest o/s. i made test recordings which was straightforward. However, on both devices the app couldn't be stopped as after exiting there remained a red notice bar indicating it was still active. I deleted the app from both devices..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Horrible hissing sounds once everything hooked up in AudiobusWhen using with Audiobus it causes audio to be really bad. Have tried multiple guitar apps and once it's all hooked up in Audiobus the sound is awful. Trying to make short guitar videos with guitar through apps like tonestack and JamUp. Once I finish the chain with irig recorder, the audio suddenly gets soft and hissing.Version: 3.0.1
✓ IPad Air 3 with iRig 2My device combo performs the record function okay; but I am am coming to the conclusion that I would be better served using GarageBand. I really like my iRig2..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Needs workNeeds ability to continue on a recording or a edited session. A lot of times I record verses then title then listen to them to add more later so it would be nice to have the ability to record on top of and continue on a session or project that was previously started..Version: 1.0.3
✓ App Crashes when processing editsI have an iPhone X with the latest version. I find when using Cut or Crop the app crashes. When I use effects the app crashes and I loose the recording. When I open the app again the file is there but there is no audio at all in the file anymore. Anyone else have this issue?.Version: 3.0.3
✓ DisappointedI bought the app and tried to register it and filled out what they asked. The thing kept telling me that my email is already in use??.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Irig ok needs workThe main thing this needs is the ability to upload/import file and other than FTP if I have files that I want to import to edit I should have that option and it should be simple. Also when I leave app I get a red bar across top of my phone this should only show if I'm still recording not if all I did was leave app. Also I bought this to use Irig mic with iPad not phone this needs to be made compatible with iPad as well and needs a landscape mode for both iPhone and iPad.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Not as good as previous versionsOld version was better that's for sure This one not user-friendly. Cannot preview volume level until recording Transferring has to many steps involved now Records sound quality great! Just made it really annoying to operate.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Where is the Audio?No sound comes out when hooked into Audiobus. It records but, I can't hear it until playback! Huh? What's up?.Version: 2.0
✓ Design incompetenceIf you install this paid for app you will have to reboot your phone each and every time you use it. The app will not close and therefore drains battery life considerably. This problem is well known and I now know it has been mentioned in many blogs for over 2 years. This lack of customer focus says more about IK Multimedia than I ever could. If you want to be disappointed then buy it now..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Want my money backPlayback is not user friendly, waveforms don't always appear, can't return to zero, some songs skip at the end and I can't get it to stop without closing the song, audio not in line with locator, I could go on. Exporting to soundcloud is cool but for a $5 app these bugs make it almost unusable and need to be fixed..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not Happy! CRASHES!Crashes ! Same thing over a year ago , after almost a year not being able to use this it started to work, I figured it was a one time thing...... Again it CRASHES!!! FIX THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ No email? No good nowThis app was fantastic until the email function was taken out... And I paid for this app. Very disappointed.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Accessibility problemI am a blind user of the iPhone and use VoiceOver for operation of the device. However the controls in iRig Recorder are not labeled very clearly with VoiceOver. A fix for that would be fantastic. Thank you in advance..Version: 1.5.3
✓ TerribleApp does absolutely nothing. I went to music school, I know. Whatever you do, Do, Not, Buy! Thank you.Version: 1.0
✓ Needs new update keeps CrashingIphone 11 pro max to many bugs asap!!!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Crashes when editingThis app could be great but it crashes when you try to edit a recording.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Absolute disasterWhat do you expect when you buy two channel sound card for iOS? I expect that the software which devices come with will have a way to record a video where I can edit channel separately, I can do panning between channels, use layers of effect and etc. basically garage band with video recording capability. I haven’t found how to edit channels separately for stereo audio. And the whole 190€ device with 20€ app and 5-10€ for each plugin it in it basically useless if there’s no way to mix channels for my video. Also their reverb effect even in 1% output produces such amount of reverb that it spoils the whole vocal track, it’s just a large hall reverb preset which is absolutely useless for anything. I’m highly disappointed, All I’ve wanted it to record my guitar with vocals and post it straight to YouTube or TikTok.. try to mix two channels with direct monitoring.. and then you only allowed to add effects on both channels, what a foolish thing is that? It’s useless for this task. Just make a basic daw with a video recording, that’s all we need.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Crash , crash, crash. was betterTry too apply any filter and the s#|*^ crashes. Cmon....Version: 3.0.2
✓ Problem. Needs fixed!!!I spent money on the package to purchase all in app purchase and spent money on the paid version of the app and after recording it doesn't allow me to edit the audio file by going into the 'waveform editor'. How can this be fixed? Need help. Urgent.Version: 2.0
✓ ProblemThe built in mic feature is continually on in this update and iOS 7. Which means I'll get feedback when listening through speakers. I'm on an iPhone 5. I've left a message with their tech over a month now, no reply.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Have to registerEven though you paid for this app you have to register to unlock some of the features, why? App is slow starting up. Feels like forever when your missing something you want to record. Apart from that it is a good little recorder and editor..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Not working with Audiobus 2 or 3!!!Does not show up in the audiobus list of compatible apps now... I need this!!!!!! Please fix.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Remove the Ads too.I like their hardware and this little app. they record beautiful sound. I really hate how they try to sell you the software. They made many other apps besides this one but each apps offers many software variants or in-app purchase just to confuse the buyers. if you are not being careful, you will end up paying more than you should. I paid their in-app upgrade to export wav only to find out there is a full version IRig Recorder at bundle price. I waste my $ paying the in-app purchase. It seems their software business is to confuse users and trying to earn your money when you don’t pay full attention. Money grabber..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Not working wellWhen the phone falls asleep or gets shut off or leaves the app the audio stops! Please fix! The old version didn't.Version: 2.0
✓ UnusableWhen I plugged in my iRig Pro, this app not only recorded the audio at the wrong bit rate (resulting in choppy, noisy playback) but also crashed when I tried to upload anything via wi-fi or ftp. For an app with a price tag of $16, this is extremely poor. Requesting a refund..Version: 2.0.1
✓ What did you do to the app?I lost songs. The songs that are still there are now all identified as "Recovered 1" "Recovered 2" etc..., and they are all out of mixed up in terms of date (all now dated as June 30, 2017), so there's truly no way to tell what's what. My phone didn't crash, the app was working fine before, so why did my tracks need to be "Recovered". Also, I can't check input level until it is recording. Double also, I keep accidentally putting these markers all over everything, and I can't figure out how to delete them. This is exactly the reason why I don't update apps if I'm already happy with the way they work. Why!? Why did I disobey my own rule!? Don't fix what's not broken, you nerds. Quit trying to make this thing into something it's not. It's an excellent quality sound recorder with some very basic editing features, and that's all it is, and that's fine. Now there's a bunch of crap I don't need. I don't need video recording. I don't need whatever other garbage you've added. Go back to the previous version!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Background audio settingThis might be a great program, but they made me angry when they turned on "Background Audio" settings with no warning. It was stuck with a red banner across the top of my screen and I couldn't turn the program off, it was stuck on all the time. I finally had do a search on the internet to find out how. You shouldn't have to search on the internet to figure out how to turn something off. It should come off and maybe suggest it in a suggestion and tell you how to turn it off. I spent the money on the Microphone, and another $5 for this app. I hope it was worth it, they already made me very angry..Version: 1.0
✓ It does not work on iPhone 13This app does not work with on iPhone 13.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Irritating!!!!!This is a fair recorder, but only just so. The reason I'm giving it only one star is zero stars isn't an option. My reason for considering this gizmo a kluge is I can't turn the G.D. Thing off! And with such a degree of silliness, one would expect the people behind this dreary concoction to cover it in their FAQ list, but no. Next I'll try turning the phone off and see if that does the trick. Idiots!.Version: 1.5
✓ Broken since March, unhelpful support.I have lectures, voice lessons recorded with this app, the last iOS update didn't seat well with it and I can't access ANY of my files. This app keeps crashing (and it's not the first time it behaves this way after some update). I contacted support, but they were not helpful AT ALL, first they just give you the run around, very simple and dumb "fixes" and as you explain to them you've tried all they just don't know what else to say but to try everything over again. I gave up on them once I realized they had no idea how to solve my problem. YOU GUYS NEED TO ISSUE A NEW UPDATE ASAP!! I'm not deleting the files in the hopes that the next update will somehow let me access them then I can ditch this digital garbage. And yes I know you'll reply saying that you're sorry for my troubles and that I should contact support. I'd say work on an update, since it's my last hope to recover my files. I'm not alone tons of reviews here are clear indication that your app is broken, but it may also be an indication that you just don't care anymore!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ UnderwhelmingI bought the irig cast mic and thought this would go well with it. I think I was wrong. It appears that if you tape a concert, you can't divide tracks, only "crop" one single file which is insanity. You think this would have more features like cut, copy, split. I'm empty inside after buying this..Version: 1.0.3
✓ UI does not support iPhone XThe app is nice, it has some good features for mixing audio. The UI is lacking and doesn’t fit the screen for iPhone X..Version: 3.0.1
✓ IK Multimedia is run by stupid peopleThere is no better way to say this. If you don't "register" this app with them, this app records at such a low level that it is practically inaudible. Nowhere in the app is there an indication that you must register to get decent gain. That leaves the unregistered paying customer with the impression that this app is garbage. The other problem is that instead of having the gain handled on input, you're artificially adding the gain after the fact. Seems like this app was designed by some new hotshot marketing MBA grad rather than an audio person! Just TERRIBLE! THERE IS NO OTHER APP I'VE USED IN THE APP STORE THAT RECORDS AT SUCH A TERRIBLE LEVEL! ***NONE*** EVEN THE $2 APPS DO BETTER WITH **NO PROCESSING**! This app is a SLAP IN THE FACE to PAYING customers. This is so disgusting and revolting I want to delete the app and demand my money back! SHAME ON YOU IK MULTIMEDIA!!!! PULL YOURSELVES OUT OF THE DIRT AND SHOW SOME RESPECT TO YOUR PAYING CUSTOMERS!!!! ONE STAR BUT ***ZERO*** IF I COULD!!!!.Version: 2.0
✓ Input volumeNot able to adjust the input volume. Reds more work..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Updated reviewI was truly pleased to see this deeply flawed but potentially useful app updated. But I am miserable to report that it now won't even open for five seconds before crashing so I honestly have no idea what it's like now. My experience with this has therefore been extremely unhappy. And I never did hear back from customer services from last time either. In effect I've paid for a product that's broken, and I've little reason to hope anything will be done about it. Go on - prove me wrong and fix this thing!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ CrashesIt's been weeks since v1.01 update started to crash every time it was opened and still no fix!! Very poor indeed and until it's fixed I recommend you stay well clear of this flawed but once brilliant piece of software..... Its been great but the latest update keeps crashing and I have lost my data as I had to re-instal the older version again! Please fix this bug..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Only secondsDeveloper turned this nice app into garbage... The recorder only works for a few seconds They stops recording. I’ve had this recording app for years, bought all the filter and sound mods to the app, and used it very successfully with my iPhone 4s and my wife’s 5s, and recently with my 6plus s. I even bought and used the iRig microphone all worked seamlessly until now. Problems include but are not limited to Stops recording when I cover the screen - or put most of my phone in a pocket with microphone still exposed. Can’t be used with iRig microphone I can no longer figure out how to adjust the line in inputs R&L channels And never could use Bluetooth for playback, I wrote I got the reply “sorry but we are working on it.”.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Remove the ads!I have just purchased the full version hoping to get rid of the ads. Why do I still get ads in the app?.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Terrible app supportNice recording quality, love the mic sensitivity control But the scrubbing bar in the app does not work at all. I emailed the developer about the issue. They replies it will be fixed in the next update coming out "soon". That's all fine and dandy but that was months ago now?!! Brutal guys..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Wow it only works in Background mode??What's up with this app? I just paid $5 in the free app to get the exact features in the $5 one? I only bought the paid one after purchasing the in app add ons in the free app because IT WASN"T WORKING. THe only time you can hear passthrough is when the app is BACKGROUNDED!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ The Earlier Version Was BetterIK Multimedia makes great products, but the iRig recorder has suffered its most recent update(s). I am a musician and I used the previous version(s) extensively to record ideas, practice, rehearsals and so on, both with the guitar interface and the iPhone’s internal mic. It was wonderful. All the controls were large enough, easy to tap and adjust, and the audio record and playback levels were clear and robust. Perfect for songwriters, as that great idea can disappear while dealing with fiddly controls. This current version, however, moved the controls into tiny buttons very difficult to tap accurately. The record level setting now takes several taps, and is very weak at best. Every recording requires boosting, which increases noise. I’ve tried to remain faithful for months, but my patience has worn thin and the app must go. An audio recorder should function just like a camera, with the ability to either choose to point and click, or delve into advanced settings. My suggestion is to rework the interface to that end; make one-click recording and advanced settings into separate, selectable options, and make the buttons larger and more intuitive. In the meantime I have chosen to save all my recordings, delete the app and switch to Wave Pad, which is somewhat easier to use. I hope this helps other musicians make an informed choice..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Terrible updateGreat program until this update recorded pure static for 30 min. Beyond disappointed can't get the recording back..Version: 3.0.0
