Not really bashing the Spire, but I can see the problem with anything that has firmware or is controlled via phone app as far as being a quick-n-EZ recording device for capturing song ideas and "first drafts". That's probably still ruled by the small handheld recorders like the Tascam DR-05.
If I have a Zoom R8 and a pair of headphones I can go "multi-track" under a shade tree in the park, leaving the smart phone at home. It might be because of my familiarity with these recorders that I think they require so little effort to use.
Doing project sharing over the internet is of course a whole other thing and seems to be one of the selling points for the Spire.
