Not intuitive
Not a very well built app, for the simple reason that it’s not intuitive, requires you to learn what items are controls, which items are just graphics, and it’s impossible to tell them apart due to the lack of differentiation or logical layout. 20% of the time they work, 80% of the time they don’t. You’ll receive dozens of meaningless warnings that re-direct you to the wrong settings panel. The fundamental pattern that the app is based around is unusual and unlike anything else I’ve worked with before and the documentation explains nothing so you’re left to devote a couple days to experimenting to see if you can get anything usable out of the $200 hardware. So far it’s been a terrible experience. Buyers remorse.
iPhone 14 pro
It works with android phones, but couldn’t connect to iPhone 14 pro
Microphone was connecting
After updating the firmware in the instamic I was able to use the instamic again. I love this little microphone because is super convenient and it fits everywhere.
Great customer service
When I first upgraded, it was a disaster. However, a few emails to Instamic and they responded right away with a few instructions, now the mic is working great. The stand alone mic is still the best way to use the Instamic in my opinion, but I have used it with FilmicPro successfully. They’re working on another update to fix the issues caused by updating the app, but in my opinion these little mics are the best things out there.
Wish I had it in white
Edited: after some hassle everything works nicely
The best mic I’ve ever used
I’ve probably used this mic more than anyone on Earth. I have over 30 of them now between all three generations of releases. I’ve seen bugs come and go; Michele and his team are always listening and always improving the hardware and software. If you’re having trouble with the app you need to update your firmware. This is still the least user friendly part of the process, but I know it’s something they’ll continue to improve because they’re literally improved everything else. The Pro Plus is a fantastic piece of hardware. The Instamic in general literally changed the way I work, unlocking recording potential I never dreamed was possible. I sympathize with people who have issues, I myself have had instances of frustration. But considering how many units i’ve used, how many hours of recording time they’ve all logged, it’s like 0.001% in the grand scheme of things. Every single piece of pro hardware/software i’ve ever used has had issues. In this case, I can trust Michele to do something about it. I can’t say that about many other products. Have patience, read the instructions, contact support.
No point of this app existing
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.
