## A2DPblocker Description
WHAT IS IT? 
------------------------------------------// 
A2DPblocker is an audio player that blocks the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) (i.e. Bluetooth Stereo Profile) from connecting on a Bluetooth enabled iOS device without completely disabling the Bluetooth hardware. This enables the iOS device to continue to perform other Bluetooth functions like default audio output from another audio app (dictation, audio books, podcasts, GPS, music streaming, etc.) to a Hands-Free Profile (HFP) enabled Bluetooth car kit, headset, etc. as well as make phone calls over Bluetooth, and wirelessly control the iPod with a paired AVRCP enabled Bluetooth accessory. 

A2DP was introduced in iOS 3.0 and this app simply blocks A2DP from connecting and maintains the default audio output device when it's running in the foreground (including when the screen is locked on iOS 3.1 or later devices) or background (requires iOS 4.0 or later).

You can finally disable A2DP once and for all with this app and stop manually changing the default audio output device each time your car kit, headset, or whatever A2DP enabled Bluetooth accessory you have connects to your iOS device. 


FEATURES 
------------------------------------------// 
- blocks A2DP.
- defaults audio output from another audio app to a HFP enabled Bluetooth car kit, headset, etc.
- maintains the default audio output device. 
- built-in iPod controls. 
- audio Playback Queue (requires iOS 4.0 or later). 
- suppresses audio notification alerts (only on pre-iOS 7.0 or earlier devices). 


HOW TO USE 
------------------------------------------// 
1.) Pair your Bluetooth enabled iOS device with your Bluetooth car kit, headset, etc.
2.) Launch A2DPblocker and ensure “A2DP Blocker" switch is ON.
3.) Add a downloaded non-DRM (i.e. not copy-protected) audio track from your music library to the Playback Queue on iOS 4.0 or later and adjust the independent volume slider to guarantee A2DP is blocked.
4.) Ensure “Remote Control" switch is OFF.
5.) Set Default Audio to “speaker+” / “receiver” / “speaker” to block A2DP or “headset+” to default audio output via HFP.
6.) Play Playback Queue.
7.) Launch and configure your other audio app or begin playing the iPod with the built-in iPod controls or an attached accessory.

Now your Bluetooth enabled iOS device should block the A2DP connection from occurring or audio should now be streaming via the HFP connection as long as A2DPblocker is active. Successive launches of A2DPblocker doesn't require reconfiguration and it will not interfere with the phone call function or transport controls (AVRCP).


NOTICE
------------------------------------------// 
HFP enabled Bluetooth car kits, headsets, etc. that only support the phone call function may configure A2DPblocker to utilize the same connection to playback audio (see HOW TO USE). However, the audio quality of the HFP standard is designed to be low bitrate, mono, and frequency limited to voice ranges, which is why music streaming may sound a bit lacking, but streaming dictation, audio books, podcasts, GPS, etc. for example would sound normal.


REQUIREMENTS 
------------------------------------------// 
- requires iOS 7.0 or later. 
- Bluetooth. 
- microphone or other audio input. 
- works best with the audio Playback Queue active.

## A2DPblocker Reviews in United States

### *---- "Crap!"
Bought to play out of 2 speakers. Doesn’t work.
-- BillMidlo, 2023-08-10

### *---- "I need a refund"
The audio streaming is very poor when you run it through the app, it loses audio quality when compared to the Bluetooth steaming. Plus you only limited on streaming your own music. You can steam Pandora or spotify. I request a full refund from the developer since it didn't meet my expectations. Thank you!
-- El Realtor, 2020-07-19

### *---- "Will not work in background"
Battery drainer. The app has to be actively displayed on your phone. You cannot use your phone for ANYTHING else if you want to listen.
-- db17766, 2019-01-14

### *---- "DOES NOT WORK"
Do not waste your time or money, does not work!
-- Chokonen, 2018-09-14

### *---- "Not worth the hassle/money"
Tried this, it is not seamless. Expected to launch a podcast and listen without needing additional step of also launching this app. Don’t know how to request a refund!
-- Rose Lynch, 2018-09-11

### *---- "Does not work, want refund"
Does not work and I want my money back
-- Magic Farm, 2018-05-07

### ***-- "Works but could be better"
It’s annoying that the app doesn’t run in the background. If you leave the app (go to home screen or maximize any other app) it will disconnect from the Bluetooth device. 

More annoying is if you try to use navigation with this it will disconnect and stop working after the first set of directions (again probably because the navigation app takes priority and this won’t stay on in the background. Android has free apps that work better than this paid app for iOS. 

It works but it’s not stellar. Unfortunately there aren’t many alternatives, as far as I can tell
-- doctor sparks, 2018-04-20

### **--- "Does not work with iOS 11"
I got this thinking I could play music like normal through Bluetooth. Technically it does play music but when you click “next” the app plays the next song... while still playing the current song simultaneously! This is a bug that needs to be fixed.
-- Nocturnal Bliss, 2018-01-26

### *---- "Worst ,never buy"
It never works with my iPhone ,waste of money
-- Chokaye828*, 2017-08-03

### ***** "Best A2DP blocker"
By far best way to play Bluetooth audio on a headset!
-- HyShai, 2017-06-06
