I have heard Iphone X, Filmic Pro & Sure MV88 are not compatible. Any solutions b4 I upgrade? I am currently using a 6s w/ Filmic Pro & external mic.
I am hesitant to upgrade to the Iphone X because of several forums stating there are issues with the Iphone X and MV88. Assuming the issue with MV88 & Apple is resolved....Does anyone know if the MV88 App will record audio while Filmic Pro is recording? - I am fine with syncing the audio in post production as long as there actually is a way to get good video AND audio on the Iphone X. Anyone successfully tackled these issues?

AnswerThe MV88 is not compatible with my iPhone 8 using Filmic Pro. I actually found this question while searching if anyone else had this problem. I have the Rode Mini and it works fine when I plug it in with a TRRS adapter. But the MV88 does not work when I plug it into the lightning port and I run Filmic Pro. It works with the regular iPhone camera video, but not Filmic Pro. Filmic Pro recognizes the device-- I looked under the audio tab in settings and it says that the Shure MV88 is attached....but it doesn't record any sound at all. If anyone knows a workaround I'd love to hear about it.

Could it work with facetime?
I would like to have an external microphone for both recording and work with facetime in iPad/ iPhone for high quality. I heard about if Shure MV88 is not in the airplane mode, for example, using the facetime, the quality of sound would not be as good as in the airplane mode. Is it true? Is this problem being solved? Thanks,

AnswerYes, as long as the free Shure MOTIV app is installed. I've used it with iOS Camera app and Filmic Pro. An LED on the base lights when the MV88 is recognized. Haven't tried with other apps.
