Fantastisch!
Deze app werkt fantastisch!!! Gemakkelijk te gebruiken en te verbinden. De betaalde versie is het 100% waard.
Great app!
I love how I can connect my music to this app!
Finally my B&W speakers works
It’s only taken 11 years for me to get my Airplay 1 B&W A5 and A7 to work without dropouts and now with Apple Homepods, iPhone, iPad, Macbook and Apple TV in mixed whole house Airplay 2 and 2 with no dropouts. And …. it all now works! The sense of satisfaction after years and years of frustration makes this my favourite app!

Works Immediately
As an airfoil user, I thought to myself “I wish I could control my session with my phone.” In 10 seconds I was doing it. Fastest any app has ever met my need.
In a world where everything requires several logins and ends up not working anyway, I was amazed at the seamlessness. I would give 50 stars if I could.

Hello…
Hi,
I stay very frustrating with this. Because I can’t put one song in different speakers with this app in mac and in my iPhone.
Help me please and update.😔

Meh
You can’t stream audio from your pc to your iPhone but you can stream anything from your iPhone to your PC with airplay. Audio quality is good (I’m not an audiophile, I don’t know if the app changes the sound at all). The first thing is a dealbreaker for me but in its current state the app is good enough.

Absolutely not!
The app was not working correctly!
Works great
I’m impressed how well this works with my Apple devices.
Thank you amoeba once again. My only biggest miss is the Radioshift app. It was amazing back in 00’s. Wish you could fill the hole in my heart with this.

Excellent! Worth 10x its price.
This is an EASY 5-Stars.
I’ve been using Airfoil Satellite on iPhone in conjunction with Airfoil on the Mac for around 5-10 years.
I absolutely love Airfoil / Satellite
I will add: it is central to my own, “roll your own” DIY super low cost BUT best quality whole house sound system.
There is simply no better solution for setting up your own highly controllable DIY multi-speaker setup. (like Sonos)
My setup is to play audio (Sound Cloud or Spotify) out from MacBook Pro via WiFi out to WiFi speakers throughout my house and property.
Having a rock solid mesh WiFi system is key. A must.
Play out is controlled by Airfoil on a MacBook Pro. I remotely use the Satellite iOS app to control volume, playback on the fly as needed.
To receive the audio signal being sent out I use Speakers with WiFi capability like the Google Nest Audio speaker.
Or even much better: use an Apple AirPort Express with audio jack to connect to studio grade monitors. Like amplified Mackie it Dyn Audio.
Put the $$$ in best quality amp & speakers. Not the software & connectivity . Let Airfoil / Satelite and Apple do the rest.
note: I don’t use Bluetooth speaker in the mix. Although tempting to put good/cheap BT speakers all over my property, they get out of sync, loose connection too often.
Kudos to the awesome people at Rouge Amoeba. Over many years, any time I reach out there are super responsive, knowledgeable and well versed in the tech they support. A++

Why drop Windows support?!
Was it that difficult to maintain? You know Windows can run software from 90s…
Super come tutte le App Rogue Amoeba !
Adoro le applicazioni di questa software house !
Satellite e’ un’altra di quelle applicazioni che quando scopri non puoi più farne a meno !!!
10 e lode !

cant connect to windows version💀💀💀
Terrific!
Been using this app for years. My Mac becomes the media player. Cast to my HomePods, appleTvs, iOS devices!, Sonos speakers and wiim device. Whole-home, customizable sound solution. Remote control everything from my iPhone. Just LOVE it!
Latency tooo big
About 2 to 3 sec latence so not good enoufh
Didn’t work at all
there’s literally no way you can change settings, everything is “automatic” on both platforms so when it doesn’t work, you don’t even know why
developers really need fix this issue and actually put in some work into this app, if i could give it a 0 star rating, i certainly would

Cool app!
It works! All is okay, off course on Mac OS)
Thank you for good and helpful app!

THE audiobook solution
This is one of those apps that you ignore because it seems irrelevant to your life, until you realize how well it solves a particular problem.
My problem is that I want to play audiobooks in my bathroom while I shower and shave. This may seem trivial but all of the Apple solutions are terrible. In particular playing to a HomePod from either an iPhone or a Mac breaks the connection as soon as the audio is paused for more than about 20 minutes or so. I did not want to have to futz around with trying to connect to the HomePod every day when I start shaving.
Airfoil removes this problem by maintaining a persistent connection. So my solution is
- Airfoil running on an old mac, playing audiobooks on that mac, sending the audio to the HomePod.
- Airfoil satellite running on an old iPhone essentially mounted on the wall (think like a carphone mount).
Now I just tap the iPhone to wake it up, the lockscreen shows Airfoil Satellite, I hit play and audio starts. 20 minutes later I hit pause and audio ends. Nice and smooth!
Extra bonuses I did not expect:
- Books.app (apparently as part of its general incompetence and user contempt) reduces the volume of audiobooks substantially compared to Music.app, so you can't get full volume out of your HomePod. Airfoil restores that full volume.
- I didn't know or care about the ability to send audio to multiple speakers, but once I experimented with it, I decided to send the audiobooks to not just the bathroom HomePod, but also the source iMac and to my aTV (which in turn plays it through the soundbar). Now the audio is essentially present through the entire house at an even volume, and I can leave it playing after I finish showering as I then get dressed and wrap up other things.
.......
Much of this functionality (playback on homepod, synching across multiple speakers in different rooms) is available in one form or another IF all you care about is listening to music.
The problem is if you want to listen to non-music content (eg lectures or audiobooks, acquired and curated by you). That's where Apple's (and other companies') solutions fall apart, and that's where Airfoil shines.
It's also possible to send the audio to whatever other speakers you have lying around. I tried this to a Jambox BT speaker and a Chromecast Google Home Mini. It absolutely works, and if those speakers are all you need, life is good. However I found that the audio to both of these tended to be slightly out of sync with the Airplay audio (ie what was being sent to HomePod and Apple TV), so while experimentally this is cool, it wasn't actually useful to me.
I expect that it's hard to ensure that different protocols stay in sync, regardless of what you do, though it would be really cool if they could do the same sort of thing as Apple does to sync HomePod audio with your TV/Apple TV, to get a one-time delay calibration across all speakers. But maybe that's not helpful if the latency varies from run to run?

Unbelievably Useful
If you work with audio and need to quickly test how something will sound on other devices- this is THE app for you. It functions perfectly, plus I find the interface intuitive. There is latency, but that’s to be expected. I don’t think there’s a way around that, and it doesn’t matter for the app’s intended purpose- quickly testing audio on multiple devices. I absolutely love this app. It’s hard to imagine what I’d do without it.

Einfach eine fantastische Software
Einer der besten Softwarekäufe für mich überhaupt! Nach vielen Jahren immernoch perfekt mit alter und neuer Hardware ein echter Quell der Freude 🍀
Ganz herzlichen Dank an die Entwickler ❤️

Buggy und kein mehrwert zu AirPlay
Musik streamen geht.
Alles andere geht nur wenn man noch Treiber anderer installiert (z.B. blackhole) um audio von anderen Anwendungen zu Airfoil zu routen, die eigenen Treiber lassen sich garnicht erst installieren. Hat man dieses nicht gerade unkomplizierte setup dann installiert kann man sich über kabelloses Audio mit gigantischer Latenz (2-5sec) erfreuen.
Bei AirPlay hat man jetzt auch nicht mehr Latenz, das ist dafür aber kostenlos un intuitiv ohne kompliziertes Routing nutzbar.
