About this app

F8 Control is an app that enables remote control of the ZOOM F8/F8n/F8n Pro.
With it, you can use an Android device as a wireless remote controller for an F8/F8n/F8n Pro.
In addition to the fundamental operations of starting/stopping recording/playback and searching forward/backward, this app allows the adjustment of trim levels and mixer pan and fader settings.
You can also use it to monitor input levels, timecode information and remaining battery charge.
Moreover, using this app, you can input characters from the Android device to edit file names and add metadata as well as transfer date and time information for use when recording.

Ratings and reviews

Finally, Zoom F8/F8n users have been asking for this for years! The app isn't perfect. 1) The track names on the recorder don't match the app. 2) Input delay, fader, and trim levels can only be changed via a scrolling wheel even though you should have an option to type the value instead. 3) Opening certain menus is a tad bit slow. The app has some small delay (as you would expect with bluetooth) but its overall very responsive! I am genuinely surprised and impressed.

The connection of Android to the device is automatically disconnected and it keeps repeating.Please give more updates, and add sound monitoring،Even if it is of low quality. Increase the settings accessible in Android for the menu.

Almost perfect, but it needs to be able to create folders inside of the app. Currently, the only way is to use the thumb wheel on the F8.
