Ratings and reviews

Used to work but not anymore. I loved this app because I used it for listening for electrical tester noises when the breaker panel was far away from where I was working. Now, latest version of app and Android all it says is Bluetooth isn't connected, go into settings and connect. I've tried with 2 sets of Bluetooth headphones and a speaker with a mic, same result. Very disappointed as it's not something I used often but when I did it was great.

Have to admit, after a short use, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Minor drawbacks, 1) A slight delay, but this will always happen using a Bluetooth device and can't be helped. 2) You will hear your own voice very loudly, ( Maybe put your phone closer to the subject you wish to hear, away from yourself) But otherwise, very simple, very easy to use, does exactly what it says, and does it very well. :)

I think you did not understand me. When the app is connected to Bluetooth and the screen is turned off so you can hear live approximately for 1 minute. Then after 1 minute i can't hear anything. When I turn on the screen it's working again. I think it should work while the screen is turned off. Thanks
