AudioZone allows you to tune in to TV audio via the earphones of your phone in sports bars,airport lounges and other venues offering the AudioZone service. So, if the TV’s are muted or there is just too much other noise then AudioZone is what you need. To use the service just install this app, connect to the venue's customer WiFi or the "AudioZone" WiFi signal (if present) and press the speaker icon to start listening. The audio will only be available through your wired or bluetooth earphones - it will not play on the phone speaker. If more than one audio channel is available you will be presented with a drop down list of channels to choose between. Allow a couple of seconds for the channel list to appear. Just select the audio you wish to listen to and switch between them at any time. Switch between buffer settings to optimise your listening experience. Larger buffers will help resolve any audio breakup but may introduce a slightly bigger delay in audio. You can switch between the buffer settings to synchronise audio and video if required. The AudioZone app is completely free to use. Please contact the developers if you have any suggestions for improvements or experience any issues with using the app.

Driver Talk

Stop shouting to the back seat. Driver Talk turns your iPhone into a car intercom: speak, and your voice plays through every speaker in the car, clear enough to cut through road noise. HOW IT WORKS • Connect your iPhone to the car over Bluetooth or CarPlay, just like for music. • Tap Talk, say your message, tap again. A gentle chime plays first, then your voice through all speakers. • In hands-free mode, hold the button and you're live, with no recording step. MADE FOR THE ROAD • Voice Clarity: your voice is processed, not just made louder. Engine rumble is trimmed, consonants come forward, levels are evened out. • Quick Phrases: “Buckle up, please”, “We're almost there” in one tap. Add your own; they're spoken offline. • Cabin announcements: your message sounds like a flight attendant or a radio tower. Kids love it. • Arrival announcements: set your arrival time and the car hears “15 minutes to go” on its own. HANDS STAY ON THE WHEEL • Siri: “Tell the back seat with Driver Talk”. • Trip Mode: the play/pause button on your steering wheel starts a message, the previous-track button repeats the last one. • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen, a Control Center button and the Action button. A WALKIE-TALKIE FOR THE BACK SEAT Link the driver's iPhone with an iPad or iPhone in the back using a QR code or a six-digit code. Passengers can call the driver, and their voice plays through the car speakers too. The devices connect directly: no internet, and nothing leaves your car. MADE FOR • Families with kids in the second and third row • Minivans, SUVs, RVs and camper vans • Tour guides, shuttle and minibus drivers Driver Talk is designed to be used without looking at the screen. Follow local traffic laws and keep your eyes on the road. PREMIUM Premium unlocks every feature with a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
