Now it requires mic access in IOS. However if you go to that section it doesn’t have the ability to enable to mic in the settings. ### 2/5 — Doesnt request mic access and wont work. *2019-08-11, version 3.2* I have reinstalled it, and its a new iphone 10x and it says to allow access to my mic and when I go check its not requested it. Used it fine before, something is bugged now...Doesn’t work... ### 1/5 — Abandon ware. Should be removed from app store... *2019-06-27, version 3.2* It hasn't been updated in YEARS and as it currently stands, it will not connect to the microphone because it no longer is able to request access to the microphone with the newest iOS versions. ### 2/5 — Error message Enable Mic *2019-06-07, version 3.2* I love this app but please can you fix the issue with it. I can’t get on Ventrilode Mic to enable using my iPhone I get an error to enable Mic but there is no option to enable mic in Vent settings, if I go to Mic settings it’s enabled but Vent is not showing in Mic settings (Facebook and messenger are the only 2 showing up) Please help ### 1/5 — Completely Abandoned *2019-06-06, version 3.2* Hasn’t been updated in 4 years. There’s no ability to give the app access to the microphone which completely renders it useless. Please take this app off the App Store until it’s been fixed. ### 1/5 — Ventrilode and IPhone 7 and 7P *2019-05-12, version 3.2* Downloaded the app this week and followed directions. I get the message to allow Ventrilode permission to access the phone’s microphone. Going to settings>privacy>microphone, the app does not appear on my screen to permit access. This is true on both my 7 and 7P. Hence, I am unable to use this app. The microphone feature is active and working on all my other iPhone functions on both phones so it’s not a phone issue. What do you suggest? I’d like to rate this appropriately but until I can get it to work, I have to rate 1 star. Hollywood Huntington Beach, CA ### 1/5 — Crap *2019-04-03, version 3.2* It doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Still can’t access my mic on iPhone *2019-02-23, version 3.2* Well the title says it all, love paying for an app to support it then I cannot even use it. Please fix this issue..... ### 1/5 — Cannot access the Microphone *2019-01-14, version 3.2* the app will not allow me to access microphone, which renders it useless. Please fix ### 1/5 — Consistently disconnects *2018-12-21, version 3.2* Whenever I use this app, whether listening or transmitting, I get disconnected/ logged off after just a few minutes. It is very frustrating. I paid $5 for it several years ago. The sound and mic quality is good. ### 1/5 — Dont work *2018-11-30, version 3.2* I want a refund immediatly ### 1/5 — Disconnect constantly *2018-11-16, version 3.2* Keeps disconnecting if phone goes into sleep mode. Even when others are talking and I’m just listening it logs off. ### 1/5 — Sweet App no 4.x support *2018-10-14, version 3.2* Great app. No 4.x support ### 4/5 — Needs update for version 4 *2018-10-05, version 3.2* It would be great if this app was updated to work with the new Vent version 4 which most servers are running now. It's a great app but can't be used anymore as it fails to connect. ### 1/5 — Vent. *2018-08-07, version 3.2* Kept getting dumped off server. Non seemed to have solution or cause or the statement it happens. A true waste of going pro sprint has better service! Don’t waste yur time or money. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work for V4.0 server *2018-07-26, version 3.2* Trying to login multiple times and it doesn’t work like you stated ### 2/5 — Needs an update *2017-09-16, version 3.2* Worked wonderfully until ventrilo did a recent update to the vent. Now this app isn't compatible. ### 1/5 — Can't connect *2017-09-13, version 3.2* Denies connection to the ventrilo server. Has never worked. ### 4/5 — Gr8 *2017-02-12, version 3.2* could add the sounds from the pc version but still gr8 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-03-05, version 3.2* Useless app, hasn’t worked for years but they still accept your money. Shameless! ### 1/5 — Why is this a thing anymore? *2022-12-28, version 3.2* Just download Discord and use it. ### 1/5 — BEWARE OF THEM STILL CHANGING YOU! *2021-02-22, version 3.2* This first part is new updated information. Below it are the other ones. I use to love this app for game play. With it started having problems and hardly get fixed and then it just stopped working. And i stopped my yearly payment to them. But i guess they decided that was not happening and charged me for another year. Had Apple and my credit card company both working with me to stop payment to this app. And to make sure my card company cancelled my card and issued me a new one. About a year later i got an email saying my payment failed and i was to log in and update my payment information. And I contacted Apple again. SO BEWARE OF THIS APP NOW! Make Sure Your Not Paying Them Still For Services Not Working for Several Years. BEWARE OF THIS APP!!! 2/22/2021 at 10:49am. This app was good a couple years ago. But now i need help with friends cant log into my vent. and i ask for help many times and never get an answer back. But they will surely take the payment every year on the date it’s due. Now im having problems stopping payment. BEWARE if you use this app..... 10/10/2019,3:46am. What horrible developers to not keep there app up to date but take everyones money still like clock work. Think they should pay back every cent plus interest for doing this to what use to be loyal customers. 6/19/2020,3:06am. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-11-11, version 3.2* The app no longer connects to typefrag servers. Needs update. As well the app is very limited in settings and features. ### 1/5 — No longer working. *2020-11-09, version 3.2* As of November 2020 ventrilo updated their client software, and as such this program which has not been updated in 5 years is currently no longer working. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2020-11-08, version 3.2* It worked great for a while but now I can’t get in on the app at all. I use this a lot and have reached out to the developers to let them know and no single response at all. Very frustrating to not be able to interact with my friends when I can’t be at home on my PC in ventrilo. Very disappointed that there’s no response. ### 1/5 — doesnt work ipad v6 (2018) *2020-08-01, version 3.2* will not work on ipad ..please update this to work on ipad... it says device does not have a speaker, which is not true. All ipads have speakers. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-04-14, version 3.2* I have an iPhone XR and every time I try to connect it doesn’t allow it to connect to the server ### 1/5 — If I could give zero stars I would *2019-09-20, version 3.2* The app will tell you to go to your privacy settings and enable microphone for the app however the app doesn’t show up on the list of apps.... don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Can’t access microphone *2019-09-11, version 3.2* It says go to settings, privacy, then microphone and give Vent access but the thing is, vent doesn’t even show up ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app when it worked *2019-02-12, version 3.2* The app worked for me flawlessly for several years. However it no longer connects to my vent server unless I’m on WiFi that has the server on the network. It used to work on cellular. The support site doesn’t come up, so I’m wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if the dev sees this. ### 5/5 — Yes--it totally works!! *2017-01-15, version 3.2* Better sound quality than my PC. Easy to use, and a good backup Vent tool, in case you get disconnected on your PC! Handy for checking into my guild when I'm late for raid night, but want to save my spot in the raid. ### 5/5 — Useful *2016-12-21, version 3.2* Easy to use. ### 5/5 — I love it *2016-04-24, version 3.2* My phone is very laggy and doesn't connect to wifi, yet this app works perfectly anyway. Using it to check in on my guild while I'm unable to get online helps a lot. ### 5/5 — It Works! *2016-02-25, version 3.2* It actually works and the UI is clean ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2016-01-14, version 3.2* Very nice ### 5/5 — Excelente *2015-12-26, version 3.2* Me facilito la conexión , se los recomiendo 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-12-02, version 3.2* It connects quickly, no annoying and lengthy registration process, and sound quality is good on both ends. Well done. ### 5/5 — It rocks *2015-11-30, version 3.2* Not a lot of choices out there. This is the best. ### 5/5 — For the ventrilo pro in mind *2015-11-24, version 3.2* Hello, welcome to the phinemall system the party you have called...no more of that thanks to ventrilo and Ventrilode free and pro make it easier than ever to connect to your favorite server with your favorite friends.
