User Reviews

BOYA Central for iOS shows persistent issues with connectivity and setup. Repeated themes include the app needing internet to activate mics (raising privacy concerns), frequent pairing failures and device recognition problems, and vague or missing setup instructions plus hardware compatibility challenges. Some isolated positives exist (functioning once connected and compatibility with certain mics), but overall user sentiment is dominated by reliability and support concerns.

Pros

When the device connects, the mic app can function as intended and operate offline afterward (no ongoing internet needed for use).
Some mic models work with the app, indicating at least partial compatibility with certain devices (e.g., Boya Mini 2).
In some cases, users report that initial connection issues can resolve over time, leading to stable pairing later on.

Cons

App requires internet/WiFi to activate the microphones, and there are concerns about data streaming to servers and privacy.
Frequent connectivity and pairing failures: the app often does not recognize receivers or fails to connect on iOS devices, with inconsistent pairing and blue LED indicators causing confusion.
Poor setup and lack of instructions: unclear pairing steps, absence of status indicators, and mismatched or poorly documented cable/adapter requirements.
Hardware compatibility and cable issues: wrong ports for certain phones, Lightning vs USB-C adapters that don’t reliably work, and general hardware compatibility problems.
Limited or no support: lack of guidance, no clear assistance from the developer, and insufficient documentation to resolve issues.

I tried connecting the magic mike USB-c to my iPhone to do the firmware upgrade using a usb-c to iPhone adapter cable. The BOYA app never saw the BOYA receiver so I could never update the firmware. I tried several different usb-c to iPhone cables and it never worked.

The app need LAN or WiFi connection to internet to activate the microphones. What for? After the mics turned on and connected to app you can turn the internet off and they are go on working.

Functioned as expected until I tried to record and interview in a National Park and could not use the microphones because the app requires an internet connection. I later tested and saw its streaming data to their servers. So recordings are not private. And could very likely be by Chinese intelligence.
