VBAN Receptor App Reviews

I love this app/system. It allows me to listen to music, YouTube and Virtual meetings in the office & at home wirelessly where the WIFi will reach. Only 1 problem. Audio sounds horrible using vban on iPhone with AirPods. VBAN -> iPhone 10 -> AirPods. Using wired headphones or any other Bluetooth headphones with vban on iPhone are fine. When using AirPods the audio is very bad. If this were to be fixed, this would get a perfect 5 score. Thanks, Customer for life.

The app works perfectly when using the phone’s built in speakers but the same cannot be said for AirPods or other wireless headphones. The audio becomes extremely crackly and distorted when using wireless earbuds.

iOS 14 network privacy has changed. This does not mean that the will never work again. The developer responded to me and said that he if fixing it. It’s a good app and I’m sure will work in no time.

Works well for what I needed 👍 FYI for those complaining about airpods; This is due to the latency introduced by bluetooth itself. There simply is no solution available for very low latency high quality audio via Bluetooth. When using this app, it’d be best to stick with hardwired headphones. But this is not a limitation of the app’s performance, so much as bluetooth. You could try ramping up the latency to lessen the dropouts and crackling.

Did not work on Chinese model iPhone. I reported the issue and gave a solution to the developer but no response. (Update in 2020: This problem is finally fixed after 2 years. Thus I am changing my rate from 1 to 5 stars. You need to update to iOS 14 to be able to acquire the network permission.)

Works as advertised. I use this for nanny cam audio so I can be in mobile meetings while still monitoring my kids. Have to restart the audio stream once another audio app kicks in to have iOS provide them both at the same time. Continued check and re-start audio streaming would be a great improvement to the app for audio reliability. May not be possible on iOS though. WiFi will affect signal as it’s a UDP stream instead of TCP, so dropped packets will not “catch up”. This is by design and is a

I use it everyday, works as advertised and never drops audio. However better features could definitely be implemented. One example is if you take out an AirPod it’ll automatically pause the audio in the app, however the only way to play audio again is to unlock the phone, open the app and click play. The notification play button doesn’t do what it supposed to, and the play button shortcut on the AirPods themselves won’t resume the audio either. Small inconvenience. App works great

Audio gets extremely garbage if you use Bluetooth headphones. I tried every setting to solve this but it made little difference. Higher bitrates, lower bitrates, higher latency, lower latency, etc. Nothing fixes it.
