iRig Recorder LE App Reviews

Problems

The app itself is great. The problems start with the cheaply made adapter you buy for $50. It has now broken twice on me. The pattern is that it works for three months and then stops working. You get little or no support from the company. The first time the adapter broke on me I sent it back and had email after email exchange to get it fixed. After much hassle it was fixed. I would not recommend getting this app and going this route to voice. Too much of a headache and it does not work long term.

Not Very Intuitive

My first recording was 48 minutes of silence, even after export. 48 minutes of two people talking using the iPhones built in mic. My second recording was my voice. 5 second test via headset mic. Played back once... Second time silence. File conversion take too long! I find it cumbersome that I cant export to Dropbox and or in general, as an .mp3 file.

Most of my Recordings keep repeating themselves

Could you guys fix any bugs that are on the iRig app. Could you make it more efficient where I can send all of my recordings to email so that I can transfer them to my computer Or transfer them by USB. Some Some add-ons are overpriced as hell

Doesnt even deserve 1 star

Ummm... I recorded something but it wouldnt play back. Theres what looks to be a playback button on the right side of the file bar, but thats just to edit, which you need the full version to use. Fair enough. On the left side of the file bar is a play button that appears to do something... You see the time marker move as if its playing. My speaker is on and my volume is up, but no sound. Okay, I figure I need to explore a bit so I went to "Help" on the menu screen. Heres the kicker: you cant get to help without registering the app. Sorry, but thats more intrusiveness than this app deserves so far. There are other editing programs. Im going to use one of them.

INTUITIVE AND EASY TO USE TOOL

Using the iRig Recorder with the iRig Pre interface was a snap. The recording quality is very good for interview/vocals. Using an iPad and dowloading the in app All Functionalities Bundle seems to be a good value that adds lots of flexibility to this app for editing purposes. Exporting files may be another issue however. Included are options for FTP file transfer or Sound Cloud exporting. My preference would be to use the more widely accessible Dropbox as an option. For this reason I give it four out of five stars.

Horrible

It worked well for a little while, but then it stopped picking up from my iPods mic. I updated it, deleted it, reinstalled it, and still it wont work.

Waste of time

All I wanted was a good recording of my niece speaking in church and I cant even email it to anyone. No way to get the recording off the device without $$$.

Terrible

Terrible app and terrible product - does not work at all! Waste of money!

Works one minute, not the next

First of all, I dont like an app that goes with a product I purchased (iRig Microphone) that keeps asking me to upgrade to do more stuff. Second, when I practiced with this it worked fine. Then when I went to do a live recording it recorded nothing. The iRig microphone continues to work great with my Tascam app, but its hit or miss with the iRig Mic app. Not worth chancing a failure to record. The iRig microphone also works great recording live video.

If you like popups and in app purchases

Based on a simple recording at sounded like crap, no thanks.

Useless

Why would they not allow you to directly email a track? What a horrible oversight. Useless for that reason.

Needs to be an Audiobus input

Basically this is Apples Voice Memo with a microphone. To be of more practical use it should be an Audiobus input, so you can record into a multitrack app. It is an Audiobus output, meaning that you can record from another app into Recorder, but what is the use of that since it is only a single track recorder? So you can listen to your other recordings in Recorder? Also the pop up ads are annoying.

DO NOT INSTALL

POC. Requires installation of expensive "in app" purchases to do anything. Not right when you pay for the hardware. Took over audio in my iPhone and now I cannot raise the audio level for the native "voice memo" app above a whisper. Will be returning hardware for refund. I imagine I will spend hours trying to get my audio back.

The Best On The Market!!!

I dont rate many app but this one is awesome. The people giving bad reviews are either too ignorant to use this basic app or a troll. Irig is worth the MONEY and the irig mic is AWESOME!!! Thanks for the copy/paste update.

Why did you?

The email option to export is gone. What is going on guys? Im a musician starting out to record a dyi album with what little recording software I have. Consider the musician please.

Lousy

All I want to do is get the app off my device. Cant get any support. The app continually hAs a red banner at the top of the iPhone. Bad experience and a waste of money After letting it sit on the shelf for a year I decided to give it another try. Its still pure crap. The only thins that works on this app is the ability to spend more more money on add in apps that also dont work. Just an awful product

Greedy company with no customer support

Buy their product, then to utilize it they expect you to buy an app. Poor customer service and support, due to greed. Last iRig product Ill pay for, until they support those who give them a job. I hope a sales manager reads this, if you pay for a product the app for that product should be included!

Bait and switch

I got the device at radio shack on sale, downloaded the app, and made several test recordings. Great. Until I tried to play back, and got a pop up that I need to purchase additional apps to make it work. Deleting, and taking imic back. Was interested in iRig for guitar, but not now. My rating is "Boooooo!"

Works but annoying to use

Frustrating ads. Constant pop ups harassing you all the time. Dont bother.

too much gunk

I bought this because I just wanted to make better recordings of musical ideas. I turn this thing on and it bombards me with offers for crap to buy that I dont need before I can press record. when I finish recording theres no way to change the title of what I recorded. hey but I can download stupid featured and accessories til the cows come home. At least the iRig pre works, after some fiddling. The (input) gain slider is hard to get low enough, and is bumped easily, but it works. Its a hassle to plug everything in though, and the bombarding interruptions make it so I end up not using iRigPre that much.
