This is a great example for free speech and free software development in general. ### 4/5 — Love it! Just one flaw. *2021-10-21* I love the fact that you can turn your phone into a mic for Bluetooth devices! But can you add a feature where you can reverse it? Or reroute the mic to another Bluetooth device and make it play on a different Bluetooth device? If you could, I would be using this app a lot more! If you could add that feature, o would definitely recommend this to a lot of people! And it would make it more unique and original! Since I have seen a bunch of other apps do the same thing, and only that thing. Thanks! -Fellow iEavesdrop User ### 5/5 — This app is pretty awesome. *2012-08-20* I wanted an app exactly like this! The range is pretty good for Bluetooth. And the app is really easy to use. Best part about this app, is that it is free! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No good *2022-05-18* Nothing but feedback. Does mot work as stated ### 1/5 — Don’t waste time or money *2021-07-25* I tried the app and it did exactly what another reviewer said it only shows your phone and your phones speaker and when you click on your phone it’s silent and when you click on your phones speaker it makes the feedback sound I even had my friend in the room and tried to see if I could pick up on his iPhone and I made sure his Bluetooth was on and i repeatedly tried to see if his phone or speaker would show up and not never did also I tried it while walking around the grocery store and other places and nothing EVER showed up except for my iPhone and my iPhone speaker Total waste of time and money because I even upgraded to the commercial free one thinking maybe it would make a difference and work but sadly it was no different it just doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Not able to understand *2021-05-08* Could not understand what was being said thru Bluetooth ear buds ### 1/5 — Fake *2020-06-29* Totally fake app it will show ur phone and another device on the connecting thing and when u press the other one it plays a eerie kinda scary ringing sound **Developer response:** That is no at all what this app does. I think you may not have understand the purpose or the function. ### 1/5 — Devices won't connect *2015-01-24* I only managed to get it to work ONCE. After that, the devices just couldn't connect anymore. ### 1/5 — Eavesdrop *2014-11-23* Why even offer this?? It NEVER works!! ### 1/5 — I HATE IT!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 *2013-04-15* It doesn't even connect with anything, like iPads iPhones and iPods! I tried to connect it for an hour and it was still loading, and all I HAVE TO SAY is don't get this app EVER! And it's sooooo confusing also, I wouldn't spend anymore of my time with that HORRIBLE app, ### 1/5 — Bad app needs looking at *2013-02-11* I downloaded app and it connects but continually drops connection ### 3/5 — Works as a microphone or amp... *2021-05-04* Yes it works, but you can only puck your output device! Need to be able to select a microphone too! ### 3/5 — It'll be good if it worked *2014-01-09* Can u give me an in depth tutorial please? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s simple and it works, period *2025-02-21* This works exactly as advertised. I use bone conduction headphones instead of AirPods, so I couldn’t use live listen. But with this I can replace live listen and place this near the TV when the volume has to be low, or if I need a quick baby monitor! ### 5/5 — Need this for the watch! *2025-02-14* This would so bad to have on the iWatch ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-05-20, version 2.1* Recently my mothers hearing has gone down hill and i jave been searching for an app to pair with my bone conductive headphones. Seems like all the hearing aid apps want 80-100 dollars or subscription, even before knowing if the app actually works! This works like a charm! ### 5/5 — Ok *2024-04-16* I wish I could hear more but ok at same time. ### 5/5 — Feedback???? *2024-03-17* App is awesome, works just as expected so anyone giving a bad review due to feedback GET YOUR PHONE AWAY FROM YOUR EARBUDS as that’s what happens when you put ANY speaker too close to a mic. ### 5/5 — People don’t understand *2023-11-07* This app is great. At first I thought you could hook it up with a nearby phone and record that audio but then realized it uses your phones audio. This is great if you have Bluetooth headphones or earbuds because you can leave your phone out and hear people’s conversations when you walk away. ### 5/5 — Very good *2023-09-13* I Wanted to find out if my partner was cheating because she doesn't have my time anymore so I contacted this very reliable hacker (hightechcyber7 @gmail . Com ) who helped me in seeing how unfaithful she was.. He does any type of hacking so I'm recommending him to you. ### 5/5 — Works well! *2013-02-25* Love it! ### 5/5 — Love it!!!! *2012-08-25* This app is one of my favorites I love it I spyed on most people already it took long to find players but I did it anyway!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2012-08-24* This app helped me pull a sneaky and spy on my girlfriend. I found out she was cheating on me. Great help! But, a bad situation. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
