Without any doubt, this is an excellent recorder, mostly because it's multifunctional and universal. Suitable for interviews, nature sounds recording or music recording. The sound is good, although there is a little amount of background white noise, but this is not critical. It's rather easy to tune, each channel has its own settings (input, level, FX). There was SD card included for 4 GB, better than nothing (I instantly replaced it with 64 GB one). Direct wifi function works properly via special app, so you are able to control the device remotely, within basic functions (rec/pause/play, basic settings, etc)... but unfortunately sounds are not transmitted to mobile phone (neither life playing/recording sound, nor in the form of wav/mp3 files), this is sad, but also not so critical. In general I definitely recommend this product, it worth its price for sure.

2022 Tascam 22WL Update
I have owned the Tascam 22WL now for four years. I played around with it quite a bit in 2018 and 2019 but then it went into a drawer and I just got it out again in 2022. I found the Tascam wireless app for Android and have really enjoyed using it to test the quality of my recordings on my phone where I can actually hear it as opposed to using the lame speaker on the Tascam. I recently bought a nice tripod and will be taking the Tascam out into the field and mounting it to my Sony Mirrorless camera to get some better sound instead of the built in camera mic. For a simple audio setup I use the Rode VideoMicro which is great for closeup audio. I'm hoping the Tascam 22WL can capture better distant audio. I also ordered a dead cat for the Tascam. After doing a test in the wind yesterday, it was awful. The Rode VideoMicro had a dead cat on it in my test and it sounded equally as bad. Anyways, after four years I can honestly say that I still love my Tascam 22WL and I have found that the wireless capability works great once you figure out how to use it correctly. It can be a little difficult connecting wirelessly to a PC but if you just need to transfer audio files, then a USB connection from the Tascam to a PC works great. Connecting wirelessly to the mobile app is very simple and you can transfer the audio files to your device and listen to them. However, I was unable to play them through the app which may be a bug? The app also has lots of great options to control the Tascam wirelessly instead of having to deal with the Tascam's orange and difficult to read screen. You can also download and install firmware updates to the Tascam using the app.

After a lot of research on different audio recorders, I finally--and happily--ended up purchasing the Tascam DR-22WL recorder. My main purpose for this recorder was for recording work meetings, lectures, and audio overlays for making video tutorials. Though I believe this is intended for music recordings, I would say that for my purposes it does everything I want and even more. The quality of the recording in rooms that echo or rooms that have white/background noise is excellent. Voices are crystal clear. The manual mode allows you to adjust for any scenario as well as having the preset modes. The menu navigation on the device is highly intuitive. The size of the recorder is perfect. It fits well into normal sized pockets. The recording is far superior to an iphone recording app. Odd ball use case: if you are having weird sounds in your engine, this recorder will perfectly pick them up and allow you to send the file to or replay for anyone for diagnosis. The one down side, but not a big issue, is the speaker for replay on the device itself is not very loud. The wifi ability is awesome! You can download the apps for transfer for iphone or Android to control the tascam or to file transfer. There is a program that you can download from the tascam website for the product that allows wifi transfer of files to your computer. I have downloaded it but have not transferred anything over yet.
