I made my first two recordings this weekend using two A10s (one SBD, one AUD), and not only did bluetooth control work seamlessly, but I was amazed get home and find that the two clocks seem to have been in perfect sync — I didn't need to do any time stretching to line them up in Audacity.

Anyone else know if this is an unreported feature, or if I just got super-lucky with my two devices?

Are you saying you hooked up multiple A10s to one device?

To one phone, yes. You have to alternate which one you're connected to, obviously, but it's not hard — just go into bluetooth settings and select the other one, then back to the REC Remote app. Takes maybe five seconds.

So they aren’t “in sync” per se. you still have to manually sync them. But once you do, their timing matches up and you don’t need to stretch one file or another?

Correct. I may have just gotten very lucky - the M10s I owned were certainly never in sync like this - but wanted to see what others have experienced.

Shane aka SEC1968 has a set of recorders which are a "lucky pair" that's too close to bother correcting for. His are Tascam DR-7's.
I can't think of any other instances!?

The Roland R-07 app allows simultaneous BT start/stop and monitoring of up to 4 devices iirc.
I only own 1 so I don’t know how synchronous they would run.
Roland R-07 -> FEL Communications Clippy EM172 Omnis or pair of RØDE Lavaliers.
iPhone 14 -> Shure MV88 or Sennheiser AMBEO Smart Headset

I've generally had good luck until there's a file split.

BT isn't a syncing protocol, it was made for consumer electronics, so if one controller and two receivers, the start-stop will likely be off a few clicks.

Largest card size someone has used? 

I have a 64gb card with about 40gb of jazz CDs I converted to FLAC.  Some live recordings too, but many more to add and the card will more than max out.  Not sure on the sound quality thus far, but I'm happy the A10 syncs with my truck easily.
A lot of people run a race to see who is the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.

I tried using my A10 as a player in that way but I found that it took a very long time to boot up when there were a lot of files on the card.  In the end it was more trouble than it was worth so I wiped the card and reverted to using it as a recorder only.

Only gone up to 128GB. As I feel like that is suffice for anything. I usually dump the recordings right after the show anyway to my computer.

Thanks for the stock update, I want to try one of these out. B&H runs a great operation, got a FedEx tracking # one hour after placing the order with free shipping.

Edit, arrived on Sunday and this thing is small. I know it's been said b4 but it's smaller than I imagined.
