Ratings and Reviews
Performs As Advertised
The app works as intended quite well. Was a great way for me to have audio from my PC get forwarded to my phone so I could use my AirPods as headphones. Gives me the freedom to walk around the house and still hear the conversation with my friends over discord.
Some of the other reviews talk about an issue with Bluetooth audio. This is an old problem that has been fixed, so please disregard any mention of that in older reviews.
As of July 13th, 2022, the version of the app for iPad Mini 6th generation has some funky UI issues. This does NOT affect the app on the iPhone. The problem is some of the buttons and sliders are on top of each other making them hard to use. The app is still usable, but looks weird.
An improvement that I would love to see in the future would be the ability to have a “listen only” mode. As to why this would be a useful feature, it has to do with the audio quality over Bluetooth. When using a Bluetooth device to playback audio as well as transmit microphone audio, the quality drops to accommodate the microphone. Having a “listen only” or similar mode would allow the user to only have audio transmitted to the Bluetooth device without picking up microphone audio from said Bluetooth device, preserving the quality of the transmitted audio. You can currently do this in a roundabout manner by turning on the “use external mic” switch. The only reason to have another switch would be so the microphone isn’t actively picking up audio just to be muted and unused (as a bonus, apple’s handy recording indicator won’t annoyingly show up).
I do understand there is a separate app for just receiving audio but feel like having to use a whole separate app for times that I don’t need to use the mic is quite inconvenient.
Needs to be improved
The app isn’t working well. The audio is 100% choppy to say the least . I’m a huge fan of your voicemeeter app but this really deserves 0 stars as of right now. I really want this to work well so I will come back later and improve the score if needed. On VM VBAN I see all errors and my network is gigabit without issues. My iPad is also not that old 2018. Pc-iPad ping is a constant 12 30ms . Other network based apps work fine. I’ll give 3 stars not to destroy the overall score
Amazing
I love everything new I see from VBAN! Amazing and underrated products I feel
