Mobile App
Listen from the native app.
The PulseMesh app allows you and your viewers to receive synchronized audio right to the phone. The app has a very simple user interface which filters for displays within 0.5 miles of the user's current location. The user can then click on the display to begin playback of the display audio.
iOS
Install
The iOS app can be found in the Apple App Store here
Airplay
Playback through Apple AirPlay is supported. To start playback over AirPlay you must configure it on your device, in control panel, as the PulseMesh app does not currently have a built-in selector. When a song starts playing over airplay you may notice it run faster than normal for the first few seconds, this is expected as PulseMesh adjusts to the 2 second delay imposed by the AirPlay protocol.
Android
Install
The Android app can be found in the Google Play Store here.
The app can also be downloaded directly here.
The APK file should be downloaded on your device and opened. You may receive a warning about needing to adjust a setting to install "unknown apps". Follow these prompts to enable the app to be installed.
Sync accuracy
The app and the web player use the same sync engine and hold the same accuracy. On our test rig, which records the show and several phones at once and reads timecode from each, the iPhone app, the Android app and the web player typically stayed within 10 ms of each other, song after song.
Song changes land on time on both platforms. Each Android phone takes a slightly different time to start audio, so over its first few songs the app learns that phone's start delay and removes any error with one small correction in the first second. After that, songs start on target. When a viewer joins in the middle of a song, both apps make the same one-time correction within about a second.
PerfectSync
Bluetooth speakers and car stereos add delay after the phone plays a sound. The app and the web player both correct automatically for the delay those devices report. Some devices report it wrong, and for displays on Pro plans and up, the app offers PerfectSync: it plays a short chirp through the speaker, listens with the phone's microphone, and calibrates to the delay it measures. The calibration is saved per device. See the car audio guide for more.
