DR CONTROL

New version installed April 2017 seems to be an improvement over previous incarnation. Installed with the firmware version 2.10 on the DR-44WL it seems more stable. Being able to place recorder in the best place and then having metering in sight is very useful. Transferring files to your phone for listening is quick and easy. It means you have your most recent recordings on your mobile to listen to straightaway. Pleased the app and firmware are improved.

This was awesome until the latest version/firmware broke the WiFi. I have had this for about a year and used it to record high school chorus, band, and theater. The WiFi allows me to position the recorder near the performers and control the levels, etc. The recent update it now doesn't stay connected or if it loses connection it can't get it back again. I never had that problem before. I would love to see this fixed and then add 3 more stars. The DR-22 is still fine except for Wifi but I rated this a little harsher since it is useless if it is not reliable.

It's great for me !

Button "New file" on recording is missing. Please add it.

Great to see continued improvements! The new WiFi as client feature is an excellent idea and provides a lot more flexibility by removing the need to be close. However there is some critical stability issues that cause the wifi client to frequently freeze making this new feature unusable at this point. Please fix soon Tascam.

I don't know. Seems buggy to me. It tells me to update firmware, then when I click to do it, it just sits forever and does nothing. I have to shut down everything on the phone and restart the app. Then when I CAN see and play a file on the DR-22, I see it playing in the app, the counter is moving, the volume is UP, and I hear nothing. Seems it should be intuitive, but maybe that's just me. I don't know if uninstalling and reinstalling it would make a difference, but at this point I don't see any value in it other than changing system settings via my Smartphone.

Button presses don't always work. Warns me that device firmware is too old every time I open the app, even though device is upgraded to latest firmware. Extremely annoying.

Working well for me, new interface, more intuitive than before. Like it.

But ;) Please do something about the back button; The number of times that I have pressed it and cursed whilst starting the program up and reconnecting. Please add a 'do you want to exit this program?' or similar as a minimum. Many thanks.

The app used to (mostly) work on my old Nexus 5, but nothing works at all on my 6P. The app was one of the main reasons I purchased this particular recorder, so it would be nice of the functionality was intact. Please continue fixing these issues, Tascam!

Very difficult to set precise volumes and have more of the controls on the unit available. A nice and useful start but just a start

On two different Android tablets, when trying to set levels, the level display flickers, shudders, then disappears from under my finger before I can even get the levels set. Takes me 8 to 10 tries to get the levels where I want them. It's faster to walk over to the dr-44wl and set the levels there. Plus, no monitoring remotely and no way to delete files. This app is a great concept, but with horrible implementation. I expected more effort from Tascam.

Wow weak app for what I thought was a good brand. Everything says to follow instructions in app and then there are no instructions in app. The app is very confusing and says my tascam must be connected but I am unable to find out how to connect it.

The app never connect to device, tried bunch of times, power cycle, still doesn't connect. I have a Nexus 5x with Android 6.0.1. Wi-Fi feature completely useless

Need to be able to do the following: - Change where files are stored on Android Device - i.e. SD Card - To be able to delete files on TASCAM and on Android Otherwise Rough

App a bit of a disappointment as contained hidden junk games when downloaded. Games keep coming up asking you to open your browser. I thought it might of been my phone so downloaded separately to another phone and had same problem. So avoid downloading if possible until hidden spyware etc is removed

Good looking app, but do some focus on usability. For example, downloading a file is tough. There is no way to set the destination, or know what the destination is. Also, if the phone screen times out, the download stops. Need to enable background downloads. Etc etc.

Cannot update firmware using the app!!! Tried 100 times...cannot do it. I updated firmware before so I know how to do it. This tome im downloading the firmware but it doesn't update my dr22wl....

Cannot connect the device and their support is even crapier. No response to multiple emails.

It's a great idea but the layout doesn't fit the screen. It's only good for switching dr22wl record on or of. Tascam could do so much better with this.

Great. Thank you Tascam. Installed on an HP G2 tablet. Works very smoothly. All features tried worked well.

Working well for me,

If it work it would be great

There appears to be an issue with the date format in the filenames. Filenames on the App appear to be changed to one month in advance of date displayed on recorder. One reason this App is not as useful as it should be.

Can we please have new firmware available alerts?

According to the information on your website it appears that you can monitor the audio as it's recording that is incorrect all you can do is listen to the recording after its recorded kind of useless, also you make it sound like you can adjust the imput audio from the remote, not so so basically all it is is an on off switch if you want to record yourself on a stage you have no way to adjust the imput audio so basically you turn the dial and guess and hope it's right it's a good idea too bad it doesn't work UPDATE 5/3/2015 finally you are able to adjust the in-put volume from the smart phone,thanks BUT you still cant monitor the audio fro the smart phone TOO BAD

After the 11/26 app update, the basic functionality of the Android apps does work. Remember: *Complete the first time connection steps before you start the app. If you constantly get message "Wi-Fi not available", try new batteries. With 1 or 2 bars of battery power this error can occur. 6/4/15 - I just download and installed firmware upgrades to both the system and WiFi and it operates much better. More features available. Disconnects and WiFi errors have stopped.

No way to monitor audio, no way to play back on a samsung galaxy note 4 at least, no warning to prevent an exit by mistake. Streaming option is a mystery still and file copy is primative. Pity could guve Tascam such a competitive advantage, instead, now they get unhappy reviews. Clearly whoever designed this software had no idea what the user requirements are...

Come on, who developed this garbage? When transferring files if the screen goes out it loses connection, and you have to start over. Also where do the files go anyway? Why can't I pick where to save? Why is the transfer speed so slow, 30 min for 300mb? Streaming does not work at all... I am embarrassed for the developer and tascam.

Seems I don't need to change my H1 for 22, better to buy one more H1. Disappointed.

Doesn't work

Great Control to Tasam recorder

Beats going back and forth to the recorder!

1.2.0 adds the streaming function, so you can play back a file across the wifi link, or any part of it, without having to copy the whole thing to your phone first. It works pretty well (over a tested 15 metre range here). Note that when streaming you don't see the level meters . And no, you can't use streaming to monitor when recording, but it does allow you to remotely play back what you've just recorded to check all is well (in the show interval, or during a pause in a sound check, or whatever). This app is getting pretty feature-complete now - just need that "mark"" button to earn the fifth star, so you can avoid pausing during a show but mark the places to be deleted later.

Good job

I downloaded the app and am excited to use it but soon as I open it up it says it needs a TEAC downloaded. So I click Download Firmware. And nothing it just goes back to that same screen. I do it again. Still nothing. I click the other option about sound cloud. It goes to a different screen but still doesn't allow me to do anything. What's the deal?

White text on very light blue background??

.. I didn't have the chance to use it real world yet, but it seems OK! Please continue to develop it.. It's a great feature!!!
