Do not waste your time

There is atleast a 4 to 5 second delay in between the signal leaving your PC/Mac to reaching your phone's speakers. This severe lag makes the product very crippled and not worth your time. Do not waste your time!!

Doesn't work

I am a very computer savvy individual, and for whatever reason, after enabling everything on my firewall, and rechecking Wi-Fi settings, I still can't get this to work. Very frustrating.

iPhone: 5S w/ iOS: 7.1.1
Computer: Windows 8

Cool idea, a shame I had to pay for it

This app is a great idea. My computer’s left-side audio stopped working when a headphone jack is plugged into it. I would love to be able to listen to my computer through my phone, but this app has at least a 10 second delay, which makes it impossible to watch any video at all. It’s ok for listening to music, but I have access to that on the phone already. Really disappointed and can’t believe this thing actually costs money because it is not ready for consumers yet.

5+ second delay

I knew there would be a delay when I purchased this app, but I was expecting it to be measured in milliseconds. For me, the delay was over 5 seconds. I also wanted to use it to hear a garage band file through the speakers, but it doesn't appear to work with garage band. It did work with iTunes but had the significant delay and dropout issues.
