ListenWIFI: Features & Requirements

Features

Supported: Required hardwareListenWIFI or Listen EVERYWHERE venue Wi-Fi audio server · Venue Wi-Fi network
Conditional: Hardware functions⁹Media streaming

Open to any guest with a smartphone, but only at a venue equipped with a ListenWIFI (or Listen EVERYWHERE) system and while joined to that venue's Wi-Fi; a venue can password/PIN-protect individual channels.
The app is free with no ads or recurring payments, but it only streams audio at a venue that has installed a ListenWIFI system.
Listeners can use headphones, a neck loop, hearing aids, the phone's earpiece, or the optional loudspeaker mode; a hearing device is one option, not a requirement.
No internet connection is used for streaming, but the phone must be joined to the venue's local Wi-Fi network where the ListenWIFI server is installed.
Wired headphones are recommended; hearing-aid listening is documented through an inductive neck loop for hearing aids with a telecoil (T-coil). Bluetooth output adds latency and is not recommended where lip sync matters.
Requires the venue’s compatible ListenWIFI infrastructure and local Wi-Fi network.
Bluetooth headphones can be used, but the developer warns they add significant audio delay and recommends wired headphones or neck loops when lip sync matters.
Requires the venue’s ListenWIFI system and local Wi-Fi network.
The venue's ListenWIFI Wi-Fi audio server streams live venue audio channels to the app over the local network; optional venue beacons can switch channels automatically by location.
