USB Microphone with Android?
Does OAD have any plans to make the Audiomoth USB Microphone compatible with Android phones? I mistakenly purchased one thinking it could be used in the field as a better microphone than my phone's inbuilt one. Now I release it's only compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux - my fault for not reading the details. I bought it because I wanted something light and portable. Having to carry around a laptop to use it while hiking defeats this purpose.
I've tried some Android apps which can record with USB microphones but they don't detect it. I will try sell it if there's no plan for Android compatibility. Thanks,
Peter

Hi Alex,
Thanks for that. Bat Recorder is no longer available in Google Play, but the developer has kept it available on GitHub, and as an APK on his site:
https://www.digitalbiology.com/BatRecorder/
Installing the APK required editing permissions in Android, but all good now, the microphone is working fine.
For anyone with Android 11 or higher there is BatGizmo, which looks similar to Bat Recorder, but I wasn't able to try it.
Regards,
Peter
