Sound Devices has announced Wingman, a free iOS wireless control app for 6-series mixer/recorders. With Wingman, users can view meters; start and stop audio recordings; enter and edit metadata; arm, disarm, and rename tracks; circle a take or designate false takes; and create sound reports quickly and instantly email them directly from your iPhone or iPad.

In addition to the app (available in the Apple store now - requires iOS 8 or higher), Wingman requires firmware version 4.00 (downloadable from here) and purchase of the WM-Connect Bluetooth dongle, which begins shipping this Friday, September 9th. Update, 9/14: The WM-Connect is currently backordered through mid-October 2016. Orders will be fulfilled in the  order received.

Here's a fuller Wingman feature list from Sound Devices:

• Remotely start / stop audio recording
• Edit metadata, circle takes, and designate false takes; updates instantly reflected on mixer
• Edit track names, arm/disarm tracks
• Edit sound report headers & create sound reports in “current directory” (as defined by MENU > File Storage > Folder Options), stored on “target media” which is either CompactFlash or SD card inserted in mixer
• Email sound reports (CSV format) directly from mobile device
• Monitor levels from multiple meter views on mobile device
• (688 only) Monitor auto mixing activity from mobile device
• From within the app, easily switch control from one WM-Connect-enabled 6-Series mixer to another one on set with a couple taps of a fingertip.

The Zoom F4 offers great sound recording for an indie budget, with 6-input/8-track recording, super-low-noise mic preamps, and time code with pinpoint accuracy. Check out the details here!

We'll be closed Monday. September 5th for Labor Day. Enjoy the holiday!
