Update: Perfect! resolved. ... Here was my request for help: Unfortunately, I can't connect over Wifi. The Android device connection starts and waits, but the Windows client just says "Fail to connect to media stream." But it says this immediately, there is no pause for it to try to connect. I turned off the firewall, but anyway, WOMic is allowed for all connections in the firewall. Also, I can't use wifi with the phone's hotspot; "Wifi is not turned on"

I love WO Mic and I use it all the time as I am too poor to buy even a half decent mic. Ever since I changed phones (using a Galaxy S5 rooted with Lineage OS) the app disconnects from my PC when my screen locks. I've changed my timeout to 30 minutes so it doesn't happen to often but when I forget to touch the screen before the 30 minutes is up it disconnects as soon as it locks. If anyone from Wolicheng Tech could help me that would be great! I'll change the rating from 3 stars to 5 if I can fix this issue!

The app has been working OK so far and serves it's purposes. It has helped me so many times when I didn't have a mic that I would actually pay/donate to use it, but the problem of the app constantly running in the background even when you quit it is really annoying. Only way to end it is to actually go into the app settings and force stop, which is a pretty inconvenient thing when you have to do it multiple times a day.

works very nicely, my wifi reach is not perfect and sometimes is disconnects - thats alright because it asks to reconnect - do not click on it though, cause it freezes the app and then you have to restart your computer to get your mic to work again .. Click "no" instead and manually reconnect and you're good to go again. Its fast, reliable and doesnt slow down your system. It doesn't have cam though, but it works very nicely just as a mic (except thst one annoying issue)

Honestly, this app is a life saver! I use this application as a substitute for my microphone because my headset broke. It works very well and pretty easy. I am not sure why all of the butt hurt people are giving this app 1 star just because they can't set up an application correctly, you do however, need to make sure you are on the same Wi-Fi and make sure the port is open on your Windows Firewall (not to be confused with port forwarding). Paying for mic adjustment monthly is a bit too far tho..

It works. Unfortunately only as long as doesn't lose connection - if it does, while there is an auto-reconnect option, it leaves you in a state where both the desktop application seem to believe they are connected, but no audio is transmitted. In other words you suddenly stop speaking and don't get notified of it. When you do, you have to grab your phone and disconnect and reconnect. Rinse and repeat every 20-60 minutes.

it's really Good. 👍 But I would like to suggest an additional feature that the developers should add. Feature ~ The option to choose the input device (voice input). I want to connect my earphones to mobile and use my earphones ~ as voice output device and my mobile's mic ~ as a voice input device. I tried to find a good app for this purpose but many didn't work and if they worked, they reduced the sound quality to trash. I would really appreciate it if the developers add this feature😇

This app is super useful, been using it for 2 months now, only encountered some minor problems that can be solved with a few clicks! Connecting has no issue. Only these past two weeks I notice that my mic is suddenly silent, although it still says I'm connected. Not sure what todo about that. Hopefully the devs have a solution. Overall, love the app.

Hey, before you get lied from any other opinion: they're saying the Windows version contains malware, but in fact it is a false positive, they're f*cken dumb*sses that don't investigate before saying stupid things. So, talking about the app, it is really useful while used with the Windows program, because it lets you to use your phone as the mic for your computer, by connecting it with your charging cable. Works perfectly for recordings, which is why I use it, awesome quality, no bugs! 5/5 :D

Likewise to other reviewers, it is very good! Especially if your phone mic is very good (Rocking a LG V30). It is miles better then built in internal mics, and even rivals stand alone mics (excluding studio mics of course) Very straightforward to use, with no issues just one, which is the inability to turn off the application. So when I use it I have to restart my phone to kill it off from running in the background every time. Other then that it is a pretty perfect solution

Why make us subscribe to make volume louder? That doesn't need to be a paid feature that you pay monthly. You aren't using any servers. We are hosting this on our devices.

Personally didn't face any issues regarding the quality. The latency was good enough. The app does what it needs to do.

Been using this for a year now... and i absolutely love it. no issues works great. was able to save a ton of money by using this app with my expenaive cell phone, instead of having to buy an expensive mic too. I wwish this app had a one time purchase for ownership and not a subscription. I would support this app with a one time purchase but not a subscription.

works, it's perfect, it has a small delay, I wish it notified me when it disconnected. (If the app gets stuck streaming, or the app crashes the moment it connects to the pc. Unnistall and reinstall the app. This usually happens because of other factors, such as firewalls, vpns, and battery savers. Disable the android battery saver on this app)

serves its purpose fantastically, but does suffer from one major problem. the app doesn't fully quit when you close the window, so it sits in the background and drains your battery pretty badly. when you're done using it, you have to go into your phone settings to force-stop the app. this would be a 5 star app if fixed, so hopefully it's covered in the next update.

Used this when i didnt have a mic, i connected with USB and on the PC client, you can reduce the buffer time, resulting in a lot less latency/delay you would see in other apps. Also, even though the app runs in the background, it does NOT use your mic unless you are connected to your pc, i use a custom rom that shows me all apps that use the microphone

I love this app and I recommend it. I've been using this app for my PC during discord sessions and I've been told that the sound quality is great (of course it also depends on the phone) and there's barely any latency through WiFi. It's easy to set up and get it working. Now I don't have to spend money on a separate microphone for now because this app works great for me. Also, if this works great for you, don't leave one star and complain about ads, just support the developers or get an adblock

Update: via a VPN into my home network, I'm able to use this from my phone's data connection. It still works well with Dragon for voice recognition. There are weird glitchy sounds sometimes...but that happens over wifi too. I'd love to get rid of those.... Original review: Had to figure some things out. Might sound weird, but this app plus VirtualBox plus Dragon NaturallySpeaking plus aRDP plus a headset add up to a real game changer for dictating fiction. Totally cool!

I've been using WO Mic for about 2 years now on Windows and it works. There are some underlying issues with the app though, like it continues to run in the background even when nothing has connected to it for hours. There are also just some weird design decisions like you HAVE to disconnect from the app before being able to close the Windows applet. My biggest complaint is that even with a paid subscription I still get ads on the app. I would happily pay 10x more for more polished experience.
