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."

The call

ScratchQ's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
