Ratings and reviews

The app is good and simple. However without an equalizer, the use becomes very difficult as all the frequencies are boosted including the audible ones. This means that the hearing loss can not be compensated unless all the frequencies including those which is not lost is also boosted. Such a good app must have an equaliser.

Dev didn't let us know download size in description. Set to allow app only when app is open yet remains listening until Forced Quit…hmmm. Alternatively, it shuts itself off when screen times out… but as above …not all the way…hmmm. It does amplify when it works … sounds a bit grainy. I tried others, they either didn't work at all or hid their costs and had sneaky charges. This is the best I could find but needs a good amount of manual control and supervision …hmmm. Still in the range of sketchy

It works however, process need to be stopped in order to change any settings. Also I hoped that Bluetooth headset built-in microphones would transmit the sound so ambient won't be imparted. Why even use phone built-in microphone? My phone is in the pocket, I want to wear earphones and relatively hear surroundings not what I can hear in my pocket

What's new

Stability Update, Should not stop when screen is off. If it does check you battery settings for this app, set it to unrestricted. Also try to set this app as 'keep open'
