Instamic Remote

Upgraded the firmware, upgraded the app, rebooted my IOS phone… everything this developer said to do to all the others here complaining about the Instamic not connecting to the app because of the update is just ridiculous. People, get a rode wireless go or even a saramonic. I can’t support this product anymore. It’s just a mini recorder now where you have to guess if it’s actually recording the audio you need. If this is really the smartest Mic on Earth, I’d rather deal with the sub par rode and saramonic wireless mics with better app functionality. It’s really sad, I loved this mic, until it couldn’t connect with the app anymore. I suppose my case is one in a million to work according to the developers response to another reviewer on here. Notice all these negative reviews are around the same timeframe. I thought an update was to improve things not ruin things. On the other hand, the mic itself sounded good, but you’re going to have to second guess yourself when recording because the app should have been a solid companion. More headaches than functionality. Too good to be true I guess. One star for the mic itself and audio quality. Doesn’t work as advertised.

I really liked what this product used to offer. With compact hardware that offered clear/high quality audio, I was willing to turn a blind eye to the rudimentary app functionally seen in previous versions. I don’t know what happened with the latest iOS update but it completely trashed any capability of interfacing with the mic. I’ve been in contact with user support for the last month and have made zero progress despite every attempt to troubleshoot the problem. Uninstall, reinstall, download latest firmware update, restarting both the device and phone countless times. I’ve never written an app review before, but I’m so bothered by how much I paid for a mic that is now a glorified magnet. Hopefully instamic can do a complete overhaul of the app or at least make the device compatible with the native smart phone apps such as voice memo.
