Decent, but missing key features – RØDE Rec LE Review

I've been using this app to record on my iPad with a Focusrite iTrack Solo. While the basic recording interface and editing feature set is fine, but there is a key weakness with the app that renders it practically unusable for me. Namely: the absence of a low latency monitoring mode. Yes, my interface does have a means of "direct monitoring"--however, even with the mic preamp cranked the audio comes in at such a low level that it requires a substantial amount of gain added by the app (I believe this to be a problem with iOS and not the app, so I don't hold this against it). Having said that, unless one monitors via "play through", one cannot hear the gain being added on input, and because the latency is so severe it's incredibly distracting to perform with (especially vocals or voice over). Furthermore, the ability to reshape fades seems to have gone missing, despite being advertised as a feature. I'd have contacted Rode about these problems directly, but there is nowhere on Røde's site to submit support requests about the app. Too bad, if they addressed these features I might be inclined to rate it much more favorably.
