Hello everyone. Are there any development plans for the R20 control for android? I know it's available on Apple Store, but I need it for android, because we don't have any apple products, plus I'd bought a Bluetooth adapter :/ Make a port of it, please!! 🥺 Best regards.

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 It's overall very responsive! I am genuinely surprised and impressed.

Does not connect on the Pixel 9 XL pro. The app opens but does not display the option to connect to the F8n Pro. The app does not accept any touch input.

Zoom should add to this app a "remote display mode" or something similar to a simplified remote control. Indeed, if you want to start or stop a recording remotely, on a smartphone, there is too much information, the buttons are too small. Once the settings are done, a "Play - Stop - Rec" remote mode with big buttons would be very useful. Everything else is not necessary during sound recording. With a music group, we hope for that...
