My most used app
I use this app more than any other. Like another reviewer said, I initially found it a bit tricky to setup but now that it is(and has been working for years)I couldn’t live without it.
Stops Working
Will randomly stop working and won’t work until I restart the phone. I paid money for this and it looks like it was thrown together in two hours by a monkey.
Most used app on my phone(s)
The app looks weird and the first couple times I tried to set it up, I failed and set it aside while continuing to use VoiceMeter
It was my strict firewall rules dropping the connection. Since I sorted it out, I have used VBAN almost everyday. If you don’t have any weird firewall rules, you should be able to set it up by watching a YouTube video
4 stars cause there should be some basic instructions in the app or directions on where to find them

Great app
I don’t usually write reviews for apps but seeing the small amount of reviews on this great app motivated me to write this review.
This app is awesome!
I love working with my AirPods but connecting them to a windows machine is just horrible:
Audio quality is bad and pairing them with the computer each time I switch is a nightmare.
This app solves this issue perfectly!
I’m able to have a low latency stream of the sound of my computer in real time! It’s great! I even do Zoom meetings with it with no noticeable latency!
The only issue I would have is that the audio becomes laggy when I lock my phone (I just leave it unlocked).
Anyway I’m literally using this app every single day, thanks for solving this very niche problem!

有延迟
Delay 有延迟，音乐把不准拍子
tvos version
when this app available on tvOS?
It works
I use it everyday, works as advertised and never drops audio. However better features could definitely be implemented. One example is if you take out an AirPod it’ll automatically pause the audio in the app, however the only way to play audio again is to unlock the phone, open the app and click play. The notification play button doesn’t do what it supposed to, and the play button shortcut on the AirPods themselves won’t resume the audio either. Small inconvenience. App works great

Works fine
Works as advertised. I use this for nanny cam audio so I can be in mobile meetings while still monitoring my kids. Have to restart the audio stream once another audio app kicks in to have iOS provide them both at the same time.
Continued check and re-start audio streaming would be a great improvement to the app for audio reliability. May not be possible on iOS though.
WiFi will affect signal as it’s a UDP stream instead of TCP, so dropped packets will not “catch up”. This is by design and is a limitation of wifi reliability impacting UDP packets and not the application.
Recommend cable connection to voicemeeter PC as your walkie VBan “hub”.

Really great app for listening to audio
Amazing app for listening to audio on the pc
Spatial Audio support
Hope the app can support Spatial Audio when multi channel sound streamed.
Works a Treat
So happy with this, linked instantly!
Great as a wireless headphone amp and monitoring live video production.
It would be fantastic to add a video stream in a future update - love this app - brilliant!

Works okay as long as you do not use AirPods.
Audio gets extremely garbage if you use Bluetooth headphones. I tried every setting to solve this but it made little difference. Higher bitrates, lower bitrates, higher latency, lower latency, etc. Nothing fixes it.
Response from developer
yes, next version will support bluetooth / AirPods.
Did not work on Chinese model iPhone (Fixed)
Did not work on Chinese model iPhone. I reported the issue and gave a solution to the developer but no response.
(Update in 2020: This problem is finally fixed after 2 years. Thus I am changing my rate from 1 to 5 stars. You need to update to iOS 14 to be able to acquire the network permission.)

you may test the latest version 1.4 to let us know if your problem is solved...
Now with iOS 14 Support!
Works great for me and now finally with iOS 14 support! One amazing feature would be to use AirPods Pro while using the app. That will be a whole wireless connection ;)
Response from developer
Current update should have fixed the iOS 14 compatibility problem
Was a good app
Don’t know if it’s recently but can’t seem to connect to a stream coming from my desktop

Very cool app but compatibility issues with iOS 14(?)
Can‘t receive any audio on iOS14, possibly due to Local network restrictions.

Great
Works well for what I needed 👍 FYI for those complaining about airpods; This is due to the latency introduced by bluetooth itself. There simply is no solution available for very low latency high quality audio via Bluetooth. When using this app, it’d be best to stick with hardwired headphones. But this is not a limitation of the app’s performance, so much as bluetooth. You could try ramping up the latency to lessen the dropouts and crackling.

To anyone seeing this using iOS 14
iOS 14 network privacy has changed. This does not mean that the will never work again. The developer responded to me and said that he if fixing it. It’s a good app and I’m sure will work in no time.
Headphones not usable
The app is effectively unusable with AirPods. The audio is distorted and crackly.
Response from developer
You may remake the test with the last version (1.4)
I really wanted to like it
Over the years I’ve used this app off and on with multiple iPhone models and multiple pc’s. After all that time I’ve come to finally delete it as it causes massive battery drain and heat buildup on my phone, even when paused and not streaming anything. My upgraded 2300mh battery tanks in half a day just sitting on my desk not streaming anything with the screen off and gets warm to the touch. Multiple pause/play, forced restarts or manual turn off and reboot, forced closing the app and turning off background play, nothing helps. As soon as I deleted the app that problem instantly vanished.
I’m also a little annoyed that it doesn’t use the built-in iOS audio engine so you can’t play/pause the stream from the lock screen or from the control center if you want to hear something else on your phone real quick.
And the last thing, I’m really annoyed at how unstable the stream is. I always thought it was down to my bad WiFi setup in the past in combination with a failing computer. Not only have I tried this on multiple networks over the years but I now have enterprise-level network gear and just built a new powerful computer and the app still can’t reliably handle a 100k/sec audio stream in real time without the ‘overrun’ and ‘underrun’ signals showing packet loss and the audio degrading into an inaudible mess.
Oh and don’t even think about using Bluetooth headphones with this app. Even if you somehow managed to get them to work (it glitched once when a call came in and got routed to my headset) the audio gets so distorted it’s unlistenable.
Overall I really wanted to like this app. To be able to use my phone as temporary portable speakers for a computer I only have headphones plugged into was awesome, when the app worked. But the battery issue alone is enough for me to stay away from it, let alone the other issues I’ve had repeatedly for as many years as this apps been available across 3+ networks, pc’s and iPhones shows this is not an isolated incident and never getting resolved.
