Unstable Connection
My gf and I are on the same motorcycle. After some time, the circles get further away from each other and the call drops intermittently. It will regain but seems very unpredictable. I paid for the full version on both phones because I like the idea and I hope this gets fixed
Response from developer
Many thanks for the feedback - I'll try to understand what's happening, hopefully it can be fixed. Could I ask the model of the phones you're using and the versions of iOS running on them? Also if you're using wireless headphones - the model of the headphones you're using would be useful too (wired headphones do tend to work better - if this is an option for you). UPDATE: Version 2025.9.19 is now available and has some significant improvements in the stability of connections. If you get the chance to try it, try enabling the experimental Lyra codec too in settings - it should sound better).

A brilliantly executed mesh audio tool!

Thank you so much for the positive review! Really pleased it's working well for you.
Good for motorcycle-ish
But:
Trying to play music just completely stops the call. Also overtime it creates its own feedback loop then loses connection with passengers phone it seems like it’s real easy to pick up on 2.4ghz/bluetooth interference at one point I was hearing audio from some device that wasn’t either of our phones it sounded like really really muffled radio music. It’d be nice to have a more secure channel that didn’t have that issue. It’s really hard to mess around with and restart the app on both phones while riding a motorcycle so we ended up just not being able to talk for the last 30 min of our ride.
Please add:
-Auto Healing connection so you don’t have to try and fix it while doing your activity
-maybe channel hopping? I know some LE voice systems will automatically switch around to whatever channel has the least interference. That would be really nice.

Many thanks for the feedback, I've made some improvements in the latest release, if you're able to try it I'd be very interested to know if it fixed the problems you had - I think I spotted something that could have created the feedback loop you described. Please make sure 'Mute Background Apps' is off in the settings if you want to mix the call with music - otherwise it won't share the audio route. The app is secure - all connections are encrypted and signed so it would not play audio from another source (or would another device be able to pick up your call without your password). Perhaps you had a radio app playing in the background? Mixing audio does lower the volume to avoid clipping. Bluetooth LE actually requires channel hopping, so Murmur does this already. It should also auto heal if you give it time. If the app is backgrounded on both phones it may be slow though - this is an iOS limitation unfortunately. Thanks again, and I hope you see an improvement in the latest version.
ok overall.

Many thanks for reporting the password regression. This has now been fixed in v2025.1.11.
Solid app can’t disable jokes
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback - I've updated some of the purchasing logic, and am hopeful it may have resolved your issue - if you have a chance, could you try v2025.1.5?
Works great!
Response from developer
UPDATE: Version 2024.7.8 now makes muting background apps optional. If you're using wireless headphones - music won't sound great (using the microphone with the Hands Free Profile forces a lower sampling rate and mono), but it'll be fine for navigation voice prompts. Wired headphones and speaker don't have this issue.
Not compatible with our Bluetooth headphones
App works great with a few bugs
The main “bugs” we found: The app would not find the other user (group) with anything but short group names and no password. When we used a longer group name and/or one with a password the phones never found each other.
Response from developer
Many thanks for helpful feedback - those certainly sound like bugs! I'll take a look at what's causing that and hopefully have them fixed this week. UPDATE: Version 2024.6.7 should hopefully fix the short group name/password issue you identified. Many thanks for letting me know - a regression in the UI framework Murmur uses had disabled the input filtering I'd not spotted. Do let me know if this isn't resolved.
Great family app
It Works (kind of)
Doesn’t work
Response from developer
Version 2024.5.17 should correct the issue you had with missing audio from Bluetooth microphones. Apologies for the delay in tracking this down, it only occurs on iPhone 14/15.
Can’t connect
Amazing
Great, but crashes a lot
Really handy as a baby monitor
Doesn’t work
Response from developer
UPDATE: Thanks for the feedback. Version 2024.6.13 has resolved an issue you might have had, if you'd like to try again?
I don’t recommend it
Great Bluetooth comms without PTT
This is the first app I have found that does it but isn't subscription
Only request would be to boost headset volume as it is a little quiet
