Try using 'open camera' app with the microphone
Tried it for my Google pixel 3, only seems to work when using the 'open camera' app from the store, and clicking audio from another source (if present). I haven't been out with it yet so may need to update review. To hear audio back in a video you need to unplug the wire and restart it. It came quickly and was nicley packed.

Poor quality
I make YouTube videos and needed a better mic for quite vlog phone videos. This mic is terrible and created a crackling background noise on every video filmed. In the end, the built-in mic on the Google Pixel 3 is better, as agreed by a few thousand viewers!

Faulty
Doesn't work. I needed it for my master's thesis video abstract and by the time I got around to using it the return window was closed.

Doesn't Work
Doesn't work. I tried using this with my Pixel, and the audio quality is the exact same with it without the mic.

Works With Pixel 2, Read Updated Instructions, Very Quiet
Update: I originally had trouble using this microphone with my Pixel 2 XL, but now got it to work. Follow the instructions in the Product Description for the USB C mic and it should work in your default Camera app for Pixel phones. The key was to make sure I removed Camera from my recently used apps before attempting to connect.I have bumped my rating from 2 to 3 stars. I would like to give it 4, but the low volume of the mic as well as the lack of response to my original support email is problematic. Cubilux was quick to reply to my review on Amazon however, so I give them praise for that. If you need support, I would attempt to reach them on Amazon.This is basically the only affordable USB C mic available. It plays well with 3rd party apps. The sound quality does seem good with little background noise, but it is very quiet overall and you will likely need to boost it in post. It actually does pick up environmental noise, but at quite low volume. You can read my full original review below.My final verdict is that this is a great mic for lapel usage or very close proximity recording. If I have better luck with general video recording in the future, I will update my review.Original Review: I bought this to improve audio quality in videos made with my Pixel 2 XL. Unfortunately, I can find no way to use the microphone with the default Google Camera app.The microphone does work with the 3rd party app Open Camera. I also tried it with the audio only app Voice Recorder and it worked. It will probably work with other apps as well, but I have not tried.The next problem with the microphone is that recording volume is too quiet. Works well as a lapel mic, but if moved further than a foot or two from your face, it's very quiet. I will say the audio quality seems quite good, with little background noise.Build quality seems good, metal microphone and clip, very thin and flexible cord. Longevity is unknown since I have used it very little. Includes lapel clip, Velcro strap, dead cat, foam cover, and small carrying bag.Overall, I cannot recommend this mic for smart phone users with USB C. The exception is if you plan to use it exclusively as a lapel mic. I am very disappointed it does not work well with the Pixel 2 as advertised.I also contacted Cubilux customer service through their website, which funny enough shows the Pixel 2 XL in their advertising images. I have received no response weeks later.I really wanted to like it, but it has basically added hassle. Crazy how hard it is to find a USB C microphone that is actually smart phone compatible.Pros:-Good sound quality-Low noise audio-USB C connection-Metal construction-Decent accessories-Works with some apps-Good lapel mic-Low priceCons:-Does not fully work with Pixel 2-Too quiet especially at distance-Questionable compatibility-Questionable advertising-Poor customer service

Broke on first use
I was able to get one recording done on my 2018 iPad Pro with this mic which sounded pretty clear but when attempting to remove it, my finger slipped off the smooth plastic housing and pulled the cable which immediately popped out with hardly any effort. This thing is way too fragile, DO NOT PUT ANY TENSION ON THE CABLE!
