What for? After the mics turned on and connected to app you can turn the internet off and they are go on working. ### 1/5 — Requires solid internet connection *2026-03-12, version 2.3.3* Functioned as expected until I tried to record and interview in a National Park and could not use the microphones because the app requires an internet connection. I later tested and saw its streaming data to their servers. So recordings are not private. And could very likely be by Chinese intelligence. ### 2/5 — Mic and connection *2026-03-09, version 2.3.3* I bought this for making vids on yt and I got the wrong port for my phone (16e). Then I bought the usb c and it works but now I am not sure how to pair the other two that I have with the usb c. So now I have 1 working mic for my 16e and 2 others that I can’t use. Also the app doesn’t connect ### 1/5 — TRASH *2026-03-02, version 2.3.3* Absolute trash app ### 1/5 — No privacy *2026-01-28, version 2.3.3* I am returning the Boya 2 mini. After reading the privacy policy and terms of use, I found that there is no way to adjust the cookie preferences without losing the functionality that I paid for. Furthermore, it was abundantly clear that they would share my personal info to all of their 2nd and 3rd party partners and affiliates. No thanks. ### 1/5 — Poor directions *2026-01-13, version 2.3.3* Nothing indicates how to pare or how to tell if your receiver is working There is no light on the receiver to show its pared as directions indicated Noise cancellation is also power button same number of clicks turn both on and off Nothing in description indicates Lighting cable is needed for receiver to fit in phone - using lightening cable adapter to connect doesnt work I could go on ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-12-28, version 2.3.3* Even though the Mic didnt connect to my iPad it did to my phone.Quality i w ### 5/5 — Very GOOOOD *2025-12-26, version 2.3.3* I recently got a new boya mic called boya mini 2 and the mic app works very good. And the mic! ### 1/5 — Não detecta boya link *2025-12-06, version 2.3.3* Vi muitas reclamações idênticas ### 1/5 — Does not connect *2025-11-26, version 2.3.3* App does not connect to device, ## Frequently asked questions about BOYA Central ### What does BOYA Central do?
