iPhone as Airplay Speaker?

Does anyone know if there is a legit App ( App Store Only! ) that allows me to use my iPhone or iPad as an Airplay speaker?


I would like to be able to send audio from my Mac, all over the house, I can get to most rooms via ATV2, but would like to use my iphone audio for the kitchen. There must be an App that supports this??


Thanks All

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

It's funny you should ask because I've been looking into the same thing all day! I remember when I first got my iphone a little more than a year ago there was a great app call AirView. I add deleted it because of lack of space but just went back in my purchase item and it's gone. Can't find it on the app store either!!!

There's a new version of Airplay coming out as part of the Sept 12th event, I really hope they'll make this a built-in feature in the new OS.

It did work great but you do need to install Airfoil on your Mac. Once running, set Airfoil Source as iTunes, make sure your iTunes airplay settings are on Computer, turn on the app on the iphone, Airfoil will see it on your Mac and you can pick it up.


I was able to play the same stream on my Denon receiver and my iPhone (connected to a JBL speaker) and it worked great.


The only thing though is that the free version only lasts 10 minutes, it costs $25 which is not too expensive. Now that i know it works, I'm still going to wait until Sept 12 keynote before purchasing, just in case Apple thought of us in the new version of Airplay.
