Leave a Review Airfoil Speakers Touch
Awesome app.
Many folks have complained about the product -- because it isn't free or because it doesn't work or because it has a lag.
The lag, I absolutely agree needs attention. There's likely not too much that can be done about it though since the product virtually aspires to unify all OS and device types on the market. Maybe there is something that could be done to find a delay that would work across all product lines. Either way, I only use it or music, so it doesn't bother me.
The free issue: this is a product that someone has poured time and therefore money into -- please respect that fact. I think the $25 I paid for a single license across multiple Macs is awesome. I'd pay it again.
And as for it not working -- I had it up and running on an Apple TV, 2 Macs, an iPad Mini, and an iPhone in less than 10 minutes. I found the UI to be very user friendly and intuitive.
I'd highly recommend this product, and I would purchase it again myself.Show lesswjoshraymond
Fine for music, not general audio
I was hoping to use this app to basically set up wireless headphones for my Mac. I would plug the headphones into my iPhone, run this app and its companion OS X software, and it should work in theory. In practice, there is a 2-3 second lag, so if you want to listen to music, that's fine, but if you want to do anything else (watch video, Skype, etc.) it's unusable. Maybe there's a technical limitation that makes it so laggy, but I don't know what that might be, since wifi is so much faster than Bluetooth, and there's minimal lag with Bluetooth...Show lessTonNekat
Makes house stereo
Airfoil Speakers along with Airfoil does exactly what I want. It streams the audio output from one computer to other computers audio output in synch. I have multiple computers in different rooms of my house and listen to streaming radio. With Airfoil as I move from room to room the audio is in synch just as if I had multiple radios tuned to the same station. I also use it with my iPod and Apple TV. I rate this at 5 stars.Show lesscgillesp
