To the Hooke Audio team.
I first learned of the Hooke Verse, in Summer 2015, from an article at the Apple Vis website, written by one of it's developers Anthony Mattana.
I honestly can't tell you guys how proud I am for your perseverance, for at least 2 years. I have watched as closely as I could as this product came from an amazing idea, to a wearable reality. I also can't tell you how thankful I am to have been able to test a beta hardware unit for a little over a year, and watch as the iOS app grew into what it is today. The Hooke Verse, has, in fact, changed the way I record 3D Audio into my smart phone. As a totally blind user, I appreciate the fact that accessibility was definitely not an after thought, but was built-in to apps for various platforms from the outset of the project. That is rare, and for that I thank you.

Back story
I received my beta Verse unit in April 2016. I have heavily tested for the past year+ and feel that this gives me enough experience to give my honest opinion about the product.
I was amazed as I listened to the development team talk about plans for the product on an internet radio show some time before, developing a Bluetooth profile to record HQ stereo for one thing, creating a product to record binaural 3D audio that would pare with my Smartphone was the icing on the cake. I can honestly say after the year+ of testing that this product has in fact, changed the way I record mobile audio. It's really as easy as turning on the unit, opening the app, and placing two fingers on the screen to start/stop recording.

The Hooke Verse sets out to improve the quality of Video and Audios taken on ones mobile device, and it seriously does just that!
I give the Hooke verse **** (4 out of 5 stars).
Pros
Super ease of use:
I love how easy it is to start recording and capture something good. I have used standalone field recording equipment for years, as well as iOS interfaces and it can not get easier than the hooke.
Incredible purchase price:
A package that gives you Binaural recording, preamps and ear buds wireless? for around $200.00? That blows me away!
No computer needed to push content to the web:
This is a big deal for me, It's something I've wanted for years! It's amazing to push my audios up to Drop box or Audioboom, or shoot to a friend in a I Message, without needing to take a recorder back to a computer and upload.
Great battery life:
The dataflow does not drain my mobile devices battery. If I start recording at 100% I can care free record for 2-3 hours and still have 70%...
