I can hear TV! *2016-08-26, version 8.3.1* Although hearTV is marketed more towards bars & other public places, I wear made-for-iPhone hearing aids and have been waiting for years for someone to come up with a way to stream audio from my TVs & computers directly to my hearing aids. I now have five of the hearTV boxes hooked up around my house and office and they are JUST what I have been looking for! (They also work with headphones if you have normal hearing but need to listen to listen without disturbing others.) Customer support is friendly and responsive. ### 1/5 — Do yourself a favor and download this app *2016-05-04, version 8.1.1* How many times do you find yourself at a bar, in town, out of town and wanting to hear the game? We've all been there but unfortunately you can't make everyone happy...or can you? With this app you can listen to any game that is on at the bar. It doesn't matter what is going on around you, the sound comes directly to you and only you. The concept is real, it's easy and clear. With this app the sound is transmitted to your phone and with a set of head phones now hear what's on the tv. Pure genius. Do us all a favor and down load this app today..... You're welcome. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-04-30, version 8.1.1* Awesome app!! I was eating dinner with my fiancé last light at Bunker Hill in LA and I was able to listen to the NFL Draft with hearTV, my giants picked another Eli!! I'm telling my local bar about this app, very cool! ### 3/5 — Works well, for ~8 minutes at a time. *2016-04-16, version 8.1* Neat system overall, this is a decent client app for streaming audio from the host. Unfortunately, since my very first use of it, it's failed while streaming audio at nearly exactly every 8 minutes. The app does not crash when the audio stream dies, but the malfunctioning app does cause the phone's responsiveness to suffer greatly until the app is force-quit and restarted. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch!!!! *2016-02-03, version 7.4* Requires purchase of hardware, should tell you before you down load!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing. *2016-01-25, version 7.4* This is an amazing app! Such a great idea. I have had the pleasure of using this at the TechShop in Chandler. The machine I work on is clear across the shop where the tv is playing. All I do is put my headphones on and watch tv from 70 feet away. I need this in my home so I can watch tv and no disturb my sleeping children. =] ### 5/5 — I love this new app! *2015-10-20, version 7.2.1* This new app is amazing!! The waitress told me about this app that allows me to choose what tv I want to listen too. I love it! I will only be watching the game at bars equipped with it from now on!! ### 1/5 — Hear TV *2015-05-12, version 6.0.1* Realy not sure how to use it downloaded it and when I open the app it's tells me it's hooked up to my wifi and that's it So what now ### 1/5 — Rediculous *2014-10-11, version 5.1.2* Using iOS 8 App keeps asking me to be on wi fi.
