It strictly uses the phone mic, which defeats the purpose of AirPods or any mic being connected to the phone. Please fix this! Otherwise it works fine! ### 2/5 — BUG *2024-05-29* Bonjour je comprend pas je n’arrive pas à connecter c’est trop compliqué quelqu’un peut m’aider ou pas ### 3/5 — IOS 16.0 Freezing *2022-09-18* Freezing up on iOS 16.0. Receiver version of app is working. Both still working with iOS 15 connected to a centralized setup on banana/potato voicemeeter handling VBan mix/routing. ### 3/5 — Issues *2022-02-08* As wireless mic you can't change the stream name and expect it to work and the audio can get very choppy. **Developer response:** You should be able to edit the stream name. If you still have problem,  thanks to use our different support resources: https://vb-audio.com/Services/support.htm ### 1/5 — IOS15无法使用 *2021-10-11* 如题，赶紧处理呀，还是收费应用呢。 ### 1/5 — horrible *2021-09-27* does not connect the microphone without potato voicemeeter from the computer. I paid 50 reais not to work, I want the solution. **Developer response:** For any technical problem, you may use our different support resources: https://vb-audio.com/Services/support.htm ### 3/5 — Needs to be improved *2021-06-04* The app isn’t working well. The audio is 100% choppy to say the least . I’m a huge fan of your voicemeeter app but this really deserves 0 stars as of right now. I really want this to work well so I will come back later and improve the score if needed. On VM VBAN I see all errors and my network is gigabit without issues. My iPad is also not that old 2018. Pc-iPad ping is a constant 12 30ms . Other network based apps work fine. I’ll give 3 stars not to destroy the overall score ### 1/5 — Erzeugt ohne Headset Echo, AirPods funktionieren nicht *2021-05-30* Ist kein Headset angeschlossen, wird der eingehende Ton über das Mikro wieder aufgenommen, so dass ein Echo entsteht. Hier scheint es keinerlei Filter zu geben, so wie das bei anderen Apps üblich ist. Wenn ich die AirPods verbunden habe, wird die Verbindung instabil und es gibt andauernd Paketverluste. Scheint noch nicht wirklich ausgereift. ### 3/5 — PC端连接不上 *2021-04-20* 可以接受PC端信号，PC端连接不上手机端发出信号 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AirPod Pro 3 *2026-03-21* Can’t use the airpod mic, without turning on use external in the menu the app will lock up and eventually crash. Causes AirPods to disconnect and reconnect until use external is turned on which effectively makes this a more expensive version of receptor. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work with bluetooth headset *2026-01-15* Tried with my Beats Fit Pro and the app just freezes and fails to use the bluetooth microphone. ### 1/5 — Incompatible with AirPods *2025-11-01* AirPod microphone not supported. ### 1/5 — 不好用或者是我太笨了 *2025-04-26* iPhone连接不到PC ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-01-21* Latest iPhone, latest iOS, latest AirPod Pros. App just freezes and somehow makes my AirPods constantly disconnect and reconnect. ### 1/5 — 无法正常使用 *2024-12-18* 卡顿严重 ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas. *2024-04-09* Version 1.0.8 de VB-Cable Control Panel installée sous macOS Sonoma, sortie audio VB-Cable sélectionnée pour l’audio, l’application iOS m’indique qu’elle ne reçoit pas le stream. J’ai relancé toutes mes applications audio. Dans « Driver Info », « Ouput » indique : ch: 2, sr: 48000 et res: 32. Les 2 appareils sont évidemment sur le même réseau. ### 1/5 — Aktuell nicht nutzbar *2024-02-09* Wenn ich (iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17.2) versuche die App zu nutzen, ist diese leserlich eingefroren und reagiert nur äußerst langsam. So la scam, das ein effektives nutzen nicht möglich ist. ### 1/5 — 无法使用 *2022-07-13* PC无法接受手机的麦克风声音 ### 1/5 — Unresponsive *2021-12-10* The application is constantly polling the microphone, even on mute, and sluggish when entering fields. No audio is received or sent to Voice Meeter Potato. Was really hoping this was going to work as well as the MacOS app does especially after paying for it. Please improve and post an update soon. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Truly Impressive *2025-05-02* Just got a VBAN network going (over a Tailscale split-tunnel VPN) from site-to-site and the whole suite is very impressive, including this iOS app. It’s like self-hosted CleanFeed Pro, but with pro-grade control ### 5/5 — Superb, but needs Shortcuts support *2023-02-26, version 1.4* This app is a gap filler for my workflow to get my iphone act as a microphone. One thing is painful though, having to manually turn the mic on in the app's UI. It remembers the mic's state in itself, but triggering Siri outside of the app turns it off, and there's not way to control the mic automatically in the workflow... ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2022-05-21* This is a great app. Great for sending audio to pc’s. Cheap alternative for wireless mics an very flexible too. Thank you for creating all you app Vincent, pc and phone - great job. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-05-09* I love everything new I see from VBAN! Amazing and underrated products I feel ### 5/5 — Great app by a great company. *2021-01-14* 👍 ### 4/5 — Good stuff *2024-07-19* Work fine with wired headphone or speaker. Very usefull for keep monitoring vBan with 2 way communication. Work better on local network. ### 4/5 — Performs As Advertised *2022-07-13* The app works as intended quite well. Was a great way for me to have audio from my PC get forwarded to my phone so I could use my AirPods as headphones. Gives me the freedom to walk around the house and still hear the conversation with my friends over discord. Some of the other reviews talk about an issue with Bluetooth audio. This is an old problem that has been fixed, so please disregard any mention of that in older reviews. As of July 13th, 2022, the version of the app for iPad Mini 6th generation has some funky UI issues. This does NOT affect the app on the iPhone. The problem is some of the buttons and sliders are on top of each other making them hard to use. The app is still usable, but looks weird. An improvement that I would love to see in the future would be the ability to have a “listen only” mode. As to why this would be a useful feature, it has to do with the audio quality over Bluetooth. When using a Bluetooth device to playback audio as well as transmit microphone audio, the quality drops to accommodate the microphone. Having a “listen only” or similar mode would allow the user to only have audio transmitted to the Bluetooth device without picking up microphone audio from said Bluetooth device, preserving the quality of the transmitted audio. You can currently do this in a roundabout manner by turning on the “use external mic” switch. The only reason to have another switch would be so the microphone isn’t actively picking up audio just to be muted and unused (as a bonus, apple’s handy recording indicator won’t annoyingly show up). I do understand there is a separate app for just receiving audio but feel like having to use a whole separate app for times that I don’t need to use the mic is quite inconvenient. ### 4/5 — Fonctionnalités son téléphone *2022-07-12* Il serait très utile de pouvoir partager seulement le son du téléphone via VBAN. Sans le micro du téléphone. Serait-ce possible ? Sinon l’application est nickel :) ### 3/5 — iphone 14 unstable *2023-10-20, version 1.4* on iphone 14 latest ios17 the app is freezing constantly, when it worked last time airpods pro microphone was not working but the phone mic, please patch these issues so i can continue using this app ps voice receptor lite and paid versions are working OK ### 3/5 — Nice Try *2022-09-30* The app seems promising, but there just were too many problems with dropout to use. Perhaps it would work better with perfect Wi-Fi. Worked ok with EarPods, but was too buggy to use with a Bluetooth headset. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
