User reviews

At least it worked

I used the app a while ago, so this may not be entirely accurate, but it worked fine, transmitted my voice well. Only issue was latency, but that could be expected as it was transmitting wirelessly, which isn’t known for high-speed, high-fidelity data transfer.

Don’t waste your money it doesn’t work

I tried everything, can’t believe they charged me $4 for an app that just does not work no matter what you do. Please nobody waste your time or money with this

Can’t use with Bluetooth

I have a pair of headphones that won’t connect to my computer. I thought this might be the answer. Connect my phone to the computer and then use the Bluetooth headphones. Nope. This app won’t allow you to send the audio through Bluetooth. Waste of money!

Too slow

Great idea, but it’s too slow. On low quality audio streaming there was a 4 second delay, high quality audio streaming even longer. Hope they improve this, but for now I’m uninstalling.

SIGNIFICANT Audio Lag

Audio lags roughly 5 seconds. Pretty useless app given the significant audio delay.
