Hi Neil, The RØDE app you linked to is not new. RØDE Microphones have been using an app patterned on the FiRe 2 app since December of last year, which may also explain their interest in purchasing the rights to FiRe 2 from Audiofile Engineering. The rather unflattering descriptions I have heard of their app is that it's like the FiRe 2 app, but one or two versions behind, and with bugs.
I'm not going to pay the $5.99 to try their app out at the present time, unless there's new information, and this app gets better reviews than it currently has. I'll just state that I tried the free (RØDE Rec LE) version of their app earlier, including the last version (2.7.5, released in May 2913 )that was available when FiRe 2 was still in the app store. every version of the RØDE Mic LE app that I tried since January lost VoiceOver when I started a recording. The only good side result of the discussion about how to work around the glitch in the last release of FiRe 2 where VoiceOver's volume went down to 0 when you accessed the setup for recording is that the fix of doing a two-finger double tap to start music playing, which coincidentally would bring back VoiceOver, also works for the RØDE Mic LE app. I would check the free (Light Edition) version of the RØDE Mic app for accessibility issues before trying thie paid app. For now, I'd rather stick with the version I have of the FiRe 2 app, which I can still make work, and which doesn't crash on my iPhone 5. If you try the RØDE Mic app, remember to do a two finger double tap to try to get VoiceOver back when you lose speech. Since this has happened upon staring a recording for every single version of the RØDE Mic LE app that I've tried, I doubt things will be different now. (Sorry to be so cynical. RØDE may make good microphones, but their apps ca use a lot of improvement.) Cheers, Esther, Neil wrote: As you may recall, I sent a message to the list some time ago about the fact that Rode had purchased the Fire 2 recorder. Well, here it is. I guess it's not an update to fire 2 and I think you have to purchase it all over again, but I'm not sure. All I know, is that I have not gotten an update and I just saw this on the web. I have no clue if it is accessible.
