The issue is that RODE designed for the fixed home button size that is no longer seen in more recent iPhone models.
Because of that, it just doesn't fit. I will need to return but more of the issue is unwillingness from RODE to even provide information for such issues. I am also seeing their recording application on iOS is receiving high number of negative reviews and people are having difficulty getting it to work. However, on my end, I am having trouble even fitting the device in.
CONS: It fits snugly to my iPhone 6 plus and I will find a new case with hollow bottom. With my current case, I had to take it out first in order to attach the mic. Also, if you use iPhone, you have to attach the headphone first ahead of the RODE mic because iOS remembers the last inserted device to be the audio input. Also, it's quite pricey already and RODE should have given a coupon that can be redeemed to pay for the cost of the $5.99 app. Regardless, I still give the product 5 stars.

For the money it represents great value.
I've managed to get this working on an iPod with iOS6 (thanks to the tip by Mr Ons) as well as my iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 (+ adapter) with iOS8.
The reason for buying the older model (apart from being half the price) is that it can be used on both 30-pin devices and lightning devices with the adapter. I can squeeze the microphone, windshield and lightning adapter into the protective case. It might look a bit clumsy hanging from an adapter, but the convenience of having this with me at all times and with the ability to use whatever Apple device I have with me is fantastic.
The lightning version comes with a slightly larger case, but for me it's large enough to mean I am more likely to leave it at home. I like the size of the case on the older model, it means I will have it with me all the time.
I take on board some of the negative comments about the software, but so far it has worked for me so five stars overall.

The App could do with being more intuitive as well.

Works on the older iPads too.
Rode provide a free app that you can use to record with but it's worth paying the £4 or so for the full on version which gives you much more flexibility and the option to upload your recordings to Soundcloud or Dropbox. You can e-mail your files too!
If you buy this, buy the little plastic clip called 'iClamp' - makes the whole affair much more stable and secure.
