Q: How do I use iHearNow? A: Connect a headset. Click on Group Mode if you are with people who also have the app running. Click on Solo Mode if you are the only one with the app and want to hear what others speak into your phone.
Q: Why do I need a headset? A: The app is supposed to help in loud environments. The headset helps to only hear the conversation, not the noise.
Q: Does the headset have to be Bluetooth, or can I use one with a cable? A: A headset with a cable makes sense in Group Mode. In Solo Mode, you will pass the phone araound and the cable will be an issue.
Q: What headset should I buy? A: The app was tested with the SoundPeats Q30 Bluetooth Headphones. If you want to use a headset with a cable, the standard Apple EarPods work well.
Q: What is the Built-In Mic option? A: The iPhone has several microphones and can use them to filter out noise and only record audio from the front of the phone. In some situations or with certain headsets, this can give better results than the headset microphone. iHearNow uses the microphones at the top of the phone.
Q: Does the app have to be in the foreground? A: Yes. The iPhone will will stop the app when it goes into the background.
Q: What happens if I open another app? A: iHear will temporarily lose connection. It will automatically reconnect when you bring it back to the foreground.
