Summary

The mobile app receives predominantly negative feedback, with widespread complaints about its inability to connect to various Rode microphones, including Wireless Go II, ME, NT-1 5th Gen, and Videomic Go II, across different iOS devices (e.g., iPhone 14, iPhone 17, iOS 26). Many users also experience frustration with firmware updates, which often fail or necessitate a desktop application. A significant number of international users are unable to use the app due to it being stuck in Chinese or Japanese without a language-change option. Despite these issues, a subset of users reports significant improvements and smoother operation after recent updates, praising the redesigned, more intuitive user interface, faster device connections, and convenient settings management. Some also noted improved audio quality and successful firmware updates, albeit sometimes through workarounds.
