## What is Tunity?

TUNITY allows you to hear any live muted TV. You simply scan the TV with the camera in the app, and let Tunity do its magic: identify the channel and the exact timing of what you’re watching, and streams the synchronized audio to your headphones or bluetooth speaker. With the new Quick Tune feature, channels you (or anyone else in that venue) listened to are automatically saved in Quick Tune, so you can listen to it simply by choosing the channel from the Quick Tune list, without the need to rescan!

Where Should I Use Tunity? To put it simply—ANYWHERE! At bars, restaurants, gyms, airports, hotels and anywhere else where there are muted TVs. 

If you are a venue owner, Tunity is the perfect audio solution for your venue, with no hardware installation required. Go to www.Tunity.com to learn how you can become a Tuntiy partner venue.

Please note Tunity only supports live TV and doesn’t support online content like YouTube, streaming services, etc.  

For live TV, however, it works like magic. Don't just take our word for it:

Ryan Hoover - Founder, Product Hunt: "Really clever. This would be a great companion at the gym to listen to muted TV's in front of rows of elliptical machines"

CNET: "Tunity streams TV audio to your smartphone…and it's darn cool…the app has the potential to be a huge hit"

Touch Arcade: "Tunity feels like magic- Particularly when paired with AirPods, and you seriously just have to try it."

### 2/5 — Audio issue

*2026-07-14, version 2.3.0*

Great app and great idea it just doesn’t work at all no matter what channel I do, the audio stutters every 2 seconds and doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — This app just keeps getting worse

*2026-06-01, version 2.3.0*

The concept for this app is great. But somehow the app has gotten worse over time, it’s so frustrating to try to use.

### 1/5 — Almost useless

*2026-05-29, version 2.3.0*

Tried it out, doesn’t give you enough customization to sync up the sound.

### 5/5 — Worth Another Look

*2026-05-23, version 2.3.0*

I gave up on Tunity. It was not fuctional. For like a year. But now it’s back. And working pretty well. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Great idea… doesn’t work

*2026-05-23, version 2.3.0*

It would be nice if it worked.  0/20 times.  I give up.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-05-02, version 2.3.0*

Tried it out, doesn’t give you enough customization to sync up the sound.   Basically worthless.

### 2/5 — Stuttering often

*2026-04-18, version 2.2.0*

Great idea. Works 30% of the time.  I travel some-  But it stutters for nearly everything.  I’ve tried rescanning or sources.  Sometimes sources work better,  but hard to nail down.  How hard can this be ?   
I would to use it & have it work, if possible.    Having an ability to skip ahead/behind a small amount is great(!!!) when it works.

### 2/5 — Hasn’t worked yet

*2026-04-17, version 2.2.0*

I tried getting this to work at multiple locations and channels and it has failed every time

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-01, version 2.2.0*

After updated and no longer picks up TVs. Always the wrong channel that is broadcasting.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-25, version 2.2.0*

I couldn’t even get it to scan a live tv channel. Deleted.
