### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-01-04, version 3.0*

I tried to use the app but it didn’t work for my purpose. That’s not an issue. The problem is it forced me to use my email address to use the service, then, conveniently, somebody immediately tried to start logging into various banking and crypto sites hoping I have accounts for them

### 5/5 — Vinyl to HomePod

*2025-12-03*

Got a second hand record player for cheap and wanted to be able to listen to my records without having to buy a whole new set of speakers. This app +  a $20 adapter was all I needed.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2025-10-10, version 2.5*

Just reacquainting myself with Dark Side of the Moon and realised I never gave a review in App Store. Far as I know, this the best, and possibly only, way of playing vinyl through HomePods, and it’s great!

I use it with an old iPhone 6 and a dual input lightening adapter, one USB to connect the Pro-ject Debut Recordmaster II turntable, which has a USB input, the other lightening to charge the phone.

I just need to temporarily switch the audio output setting on Apple TV to tv speakers to free up the HomePods, manually select the HomePods in AirChord, and that’s pretty much it. I use Siri for volume control (hey Siri reduce volume to 25%) or the phone controls.

The audio quality is fine for me. Theoretically it’s better through my iPhone 13 but I can barely tell the difference.

A fantastic option for anyone wanting to get the most out their HomePods and avoid the clutter of having an extra pair of speakers. I can’t you enough!!

### 5/5 — Works with AT-LP120 USB

*2025-10-06, version 2.5*

Got this working fairly easily with an AT-LP120-USB turntable via the USB connection. Now I can broadcast that through the house. A bit of an audio sin? Maybe, but the app works great.

### 5/5 — Hilfreich

*2025-09-25, version 2.5*

Eine einfach zu bedienende und sehr hilfreiche App 🎵 🙏

### 1/5 — Stuttering sound

*2025-08-24, version 2.5*

Sound drops since last update. Too bad. Switching back to Quanta. 
(Used with shairport-sync)

### 5/5 — Great choice to combine analog & digital audio with Airplay

*2025-08-08, version 2.5*

It is a great choice to listen to your LP collection via Airplay. Sometimes the audio connection will not work but on 2nd or 3rd run it works good.
I really like also the new features :-)

### 5/5 — One of my most used apps

*2025-07-19*

I seriously love this app. It is so easy. It has made my dad’s Kenwood from the 70s the main music source in our home. Can’t recommend it enough.

**Developer response:** What’s old is new! Thanks Andy!

### 5/5 — Fantastic to see the development

*2025-06-22, version 2.5*

I’ve been using AirChord for a few years now. It is an awesome use-case for an old iPhone 8… mine is permanently plugged into a turntable and allows me to turn the turntable into something that’s multi-speaker airplay capable… truly amazing.

I noticed the new song detection feature and it’s very nice to have. I would love if you could tap on the album art at the bottom of the screen and have it expand to a nice full-screen view. The iPhone I stream from is hidden away, but I could imagine with a nice album art visualiser I could display AirChord right next to the record player.

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2025-05-07, version 2.5*

Thank you for helping me bring to life my turntable. It’s amazing that it can airplay cast across so many devices, flawlessly. I’m using the Behringer U-Phono UFO202 and a USB A to C adapter to my iPhone. Using a Bluetooth remote I can control the audio level remotely!
