It opens up my Apple Music playlist, but does not play them. I have tried several times, I’ve gone through setting etc. it just doesn’t work. It functions only as a microphone. ### 2/5 — Didn’t work well *2020-05-20, version 3.0* Their free version is better. So I guess paying for this one cancels out enough not to be too angry. The levels don’t really do anything and it’s got feed back and latency up the wazoo if you use Bluetooth. A lot better if the speakers are connected through your phone with a cable and with the phone’s mic rather than a mini mic into the phone which is impossible anyway bc that’s how the speaker must be plugged in. Meh ### 3/5 — Good but missing key feature *2019-09-14* I was looking at this compared to VonBruo’s free Microphone Live app, which indicates you can use a Bluetooth headset as a mic. This paid version does not support that, but is otherwise nicely designed. I really need to mix headset mic with music for gym instruction, seems like a killer app yet hard to find. ### 2/5 — External mike and Bluetooth speaker *2018-07-09, version 3.0* Unable to connect a lavalier external mike and Bose mini Bluetooth speaker at the same time. Why? ### 2/5 — please add: *2018-01-01, version 3.0* the function to choose the mic input. this was in the previous free version ### 2/5 — Ripoff *2017-08-08* I used to use it for discord on my laptop, but now it requires iOS 10 and I can't redownload it. Was great though. ### 1/5 — Useless and crappy *2016-11-06, version 2.2* Not worth the $0.99 at all. Crashes all the time and there is a huge delay between audio transmission. ### 1/5 — App doesn't work; deleted 5 mins after loading. *2016-08-22, version 2.2* It didn't work. Don't bother. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all *2016-07-16, version 2.2* I don't know how this can be, but the volume cannot be controlled at all, swiping up and down as per instructions doesn't do anything! Nor is there any output in the speakers, which is whole point of the app!! Looks like a total gyp. But maybe it just didn't work on my device: iPhone 6s Plus. ### 1/5 — Worst Feedback Ever!!! *2016-03-02, version 2.2* I paid 99 cents for this app, and the feedback noise is crazy. Not worth the money!! ### 3/5 — Change a little *2016-01-06, version 2.1* Two things I would change. First, give option to turn off reverb. Second, make it work with Bluetooth headsets. ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2015-12-22, version 2.1* Output sound so quiet it's useless, even when I put my mouth pretty much ON the mic. Do not buy! ### 1/5 — Waste of Money!!!!!! *2015-11-14, version 2.1* I bought this app think it would work. I was was wrong! Waste of money! Too much reverb when I used it with an external speaker. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App stopped working *2024-11-16* No update or support. ### 1/5 — Can’t disable reverb *2019-07-06, version 3.0* Purchased this app for taking people on tours, so I could broadcast my voice at a higher volume via bluetooth speaker without having to speak loudly. There is no option to disable reverb so it is probably a fun “sing-a-long” app for someone who want to purchase it specifically for that, but it is a terrible option for talking only. ### 1/5 — Problem *2019-06-15* I purchased the paid version why it was not updated like a free version ### 1/5 — No support for this app. *2019-02-23, version 3.0* Doesn’t work with Apple Music subscription songs. ### 1/5 — Apple permission for music *2018-11-22* Unable to play my music... waste of money ### 1/5 — Rip Off and False Advertising. *2018-10-20, version 3.0* The Apple App Store advertises that this app now supports Airplay and bluetooth streaming. IT DOES NOT! The app support button does not provide any link to support. It links to the app website where you are told that Bluetooth and Airplay are in fact NOT supported. Problem is I already spent the money to buy the app and £4.99 is a lot of money for something that does not work if you want to sing to yourself through the phone speaker it works fine. Otherwise don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Worse than free version *2018-08-27* The free version of this app supports stereo sound (which I need). So I paid five bucks for the full version, which does NOT support stereo! Tried to get in touch with the developers, but there is no contact info anywhere to be had. Help! ### 1/5 — Huge delay on airplay *2018-02-05, version 3.0* Don’t buy if you are planning to use with Airplay. The delay is huge - about three seconds, so unusable if you’re thinking of using it as part of a public address system ### 1/5 — Garbage. Don't buy. *2016-12-25, version 2.2* Doesn't work ### 1/5 — Poor sound quality, no Bluetooth connectivity *2016-11-12, version 2.2* Don't buy ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I give this app a Five star rating by ken Beetcher *2019-02-16* I am blind and in a short time with the payed app I was using all the settings for a perfect experience with the app to sing along with my Apple music downloads If you like to hear yourself sing along with music from apple Von Broono app is the way to go ### 5/5 — Awesome app but one more thing *2018-06-13* This is a really cool app I always wanted a app like his but can you make it so you can hear the drought that you recorded because I will play this game a ton more. ### 5/5 — Excellent app, turns your iPhone into a sound stethoscope of sorts *2017-10-27* If you need to listen to something that is low in volume and amplify it in your headset, this is a great solution. I had a problem where a device emitted a sound I needed to hear but was across the bench from me and had a low volume. I read of another person who listened to faint car noises while troubleshooting. Either way, position the top of your iPhone microphone by the source of sound you want to head and plug in your headsets. Select the iPhone microphone within the app. It worked for me for both Bluetooth and wired headset on an iPhone 6s plus. Sometimes the app gets confused when you plug/unplug/disconnect Bluetooth. In that case I close the app using the iPhone app menu and then start again. It’s great to have a solution for this problem, it has saved me a good deal of footwork. Thanks to the developer for building and maintaining this app. ### 5/5 — Serendipity *2016-05-15, version 2.2* Works with my resound hearing aids Replaces $200 external mic! ### 5/5 — Cool! *2016-01-19, version 2.2* This app let you output your iPhone microphone or external mic into your speakers. With one click. Simple and easy. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2016-01-14, version 2.2* Works great! Just what I needed :) ### 5/5 — Best app ever! *2015-11-16, version 2.1* So useful! Everyone should have it! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2015-09-07, version 2.0* A mic with feedback, music player and some filters. Perfect for singing to songs and/or practicing! ### 5/5 — This is awesome!!!!!!! *2014-12-28, version 1.3* I use it for like everything it's the life saver it's not a rip off and it works well ### 5/5 — A great Mic app! *2014-10-26, version 1.3* Before I had this I used Megaphone, which was monotoned and static feedback was a lot. With this however, stereo, high quality, and cheap. I use this to record videos now! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
