Latest reviews of PocketAudio (Microphone) app for iPhone and iPad
Huge delay ~5s, and not working with microphones plugged in the lightning port
Using a 5Ghz WiFi network, an iPhone 5 and a 2013 MacPro... 8.5 seconds of delay. Thats waaaay beyond acceptable. The developers website says: "Dont expect to be real time". Whats the point, then? Recording? I can do this on my iPhone. Bad choice!
The utility application shows intermittent communication, delays of 5-10 seconds before echo to my headphones, and zero input level in System Preferences, Sound, thus no ability to actually record anything. Disappointing, and almost not worth the bother to get a refund.
DONT buy it!!! it can be a useless application in ur phone. the delay is terrible so it will not work at all.
lag is terrible dont buy
