Airfoil Satellite for Android: Another fine Rogue Amoeba product

Ratings and reviews

I bought this product after expiration of the few minutes that the trial version allows before noise is introduced. My mistake was just listening to streaming music. That wasn't really time to evaluate in every scenario. I was interested because my hearing aids use bluetooth... but only to from my Android phone. I figured I could play videos of Zoom meetings on my Mac and airfoil there to push them to satellite for android and listen to them from my hearing aids, instead of putting on headphones. The sync time is pretty slow. Even after adjustment downwards, what people are saying on-screen runs about a second or two ahead of what I can hear on my hearing aids. It's disconcerting. If I'd had more time to try it, I probably wouldn't have purchased these, though it was only $31. They do what they say, but don't work as well as I'd hoped in my circumstance, and the trial should be a day, not minutes.

Well, the thing is The android app connects with my macbook but the major problem resides in the poor audio synchronization, which has a delay of 2 seconds even after I opened it on debugging mode and set the local playback latency on negative values. Please fix that, because I do not want to spend money on an application with playback issues. Thanks.

As a remote control for Airfoil for Windows this app does a superb job. Just install and launch - if the Windows PC is running then it will be automatically detected. No further setup necessary. I use this tool to re-connect my speakers when they disconnect from my Windows Airfoil. (They are a bit older so that does tend to happen.) So I really just use one tiny feature of this app, and at the same time I am incredibly happy to have it. It's a huge added value for me. Things that could make it even better: 1. Provide a widget for speaker control so that one does not need to open the app 2. Allow disabling the recognition of the android app as streaming client, so that it does not appear in my Airfoil for Windows list of devices. I have been using Airfoil for a few years now. Thanks for the great software and please keep up the good work.
