4/5Nice but no mp3
It’s everything you would want except a lot of audio is required to be mp3. I’m surprised that it’s not available. Other than that it’s great.

3/5Wonderful App - but…
Being a professional sound tech, I searched for a long time for no-frills professional recording app. Hindenburg does the job. A no-nonsense interface fills the screen the moment the app opens up. Setting levels is a snap and the volume level indicators make it obvious immediately whether you’re recording in mono or stereo. Sharing files is also just what you’d expect from a well-designed app. Hindenburg has just what I need - and even more importantly - I don’t have to wade through a bunch of cartoon-like garbage to make a recording. One MAJOR omission, though (which is forcing me to use another app) is its lack of ability to recognize and use a Bluetooth mic. If you fix this one fault, I’ll come back home to Hindenburg… thx

5/5This is an ideal field recorder
This is an ideal field recorder. Foolproof recording, and surprisingly robust editing functionality. Direct integration with the desktop app make this a no-brainer. I wish all apps had this great functional design and power.

5/5Good but needs to be updated
Please update this app. It needs mp3 functionality at the very least. Thank you.

5/5OH, THE HUMANITY!!!
(Come on, someone had to say it.) Hindenburg Field Recorder is what I would consider a perfect app---IF you need what's known in the industry as a "field recorder." See? It's right there in the title of the app: Hindenburg FIELD RECORDER. If you don't know what that is, or if you're trying to edit your latest dubstep download from Pirate Bay (or wherever these young whippersnappers are downloading their sick beats from), then . . . move along. Nothing to see here. But if you're in need of a kick-a** way to record flawless audio in a streamlined manner with an awesome U/I, and the ability to edit the audio ex post facto (that means "after the fact," by the way), and you have the need for crossfades and all sorts of nifty cool stuff like compression and limiting, then you will not find a better app. Ever heard the expression: You get what yo pay for? Some say the expression is merely a cliché, but it's a cliché because it's frickin' true in 90%+ cases. Hindenburg Field Recorder costs $30 because no other audio recording app can touch what it does. Don't believe me? Download the free version first and check it out. Originally, I downloaded the free version, and within 5 minutes of using it I shelled out $30 for the paid version; I was *that* impressed with it. That's just my opinion, but I'm sticking to it. Now buy the app before the zeppelin explodes!
