User Reviews

Users report that WaveCAST works well when properly connected but multiple updates have caused connectivity issues, especially the app failing to locate the device. Mandatory permissions like internet and location access are seen as unnecessary. A significant audio delay causes echo, adversely affecting usability in environments like churches. Technical support is lacking, with broken website links and invalid support emails. Overall, the app's potential is undermined by connectivity, latency, and support problems.

Pros

Works well when connected properly to the network and hardware.
Uses a peer-to-peer principle which should lower latency theoretically.
Useful in scenarios aiming to improve hearing accessibility, like churches or lectures.

Cons

App often fails to find or connect to the WaveCAST network after updates.
Requires unnecessary permissions like internet and location access that seem unjustified.
Has noticeable audio delay (approximately 0.5 seconds), causing echo and usability issues.
Poor technical support and broken links to product support hinder troubleshooting.
Email contact for support is non-functional, reducing communication options.
