About this app

Novel technologies like Silverpush build upon ultrasonic sounds to exchange information. More and more of our devices communicate via this inaudible communication channel. Ultrasonic communication enables to pair devices, exchange information but also to track users and their behavior across several devices similar to cookies in the web. Every device with a microphone and a speaker is able to send and receive ultrasonic information. The user is usually not aware of this inaudible and hidden data transfer.

SoniControl is the first firewall that detects ultrasonic activity, notifies the user and blocks the information on demand, and thereby helps users to protect their privacy. Further, advanced diagnostics on detections are provided. SoniControl visualizes the ultrasonic activity as a spectrogram and gives the possibility to play the inaudible sounds in a hearable range. Additionally, firewall rules are displayed on a map for a better geographical overview.

Ratings and reviews

App's great, but lacks detailed instructions. Instructions for using the app is poor. Downloading for offline purpose, is understandable. However, the app is incomplete with poor instructions. However, poor instructions for using the features. The settings & what they mean are undefined. Correct those minor changes, and app will be Outstanding

It's only my first day I just caught my first ultrasonic sound. I get to listen to it. But I get a lot of piercing noises in my ear randomly once a day or evening or sometimes every other day it's random. I look forward to changing my review the more I use it thank you

I like it. But I have a question. Does this app picks up on energy that is being really direct toward a individual. Specifically. I need to know. If so... This a wonderful App.
