About Airplayer

Airplayer brings Android to Apple's Airplay/Airtunes family. This application lets you...


- stream audio playback from your favourite iTunes (Windows/Mac) to your Android device (Phone/Tablet/Set-top box)
- show track info, cover artwork and playback progress currently playing in connected iTunes
- tune your phone/tablet's volume from the connected iTunes
- auto mute audio playback for incoming call

This application DOES NOT let you...

- remote control (play/pause/shuffle/etc.) music currently playing in connected iTunes
- browser library in your Android memory storage and stream music from Android to iTunes

Why another Airplay/Airtunes receiver?

- smaller memory footprint
- less cpu usage
- zero configuration, keep it as simple as possible
- user has full control of when and how service is running

The application provide a basic solution for home media integration between Android and Apple. It is perfectly used, for instance, when you have an Android compatible dock speaker, or an TV set-top box running Android, and let you share your media content over the air without coping them everywhere via cable. Note that this application only work under WiFi network.

This application is specifically designed for phone, however, install and use it on tablet is not restricted.

It works great. No bloatware or unnecessary features... just receives an Airplay stream on the local network, which is exactly what I wanted. Took about 5 seconds to get set up. Thanks for your work developing this app for us to enjoy.

But that's really it. One thing I miss is the ability to rename the device as shown in the airplay devices list. It will show the device model regardless of the device name setting or anything else.

Worked consistently streaming system audio on Yosemite, but is completely unable to connect after Capitan update

M70%
by M####:

Works well. The only thing Id recommend is allowing it to run in the background. That way you can use it with retune and only have one app open

F70%
by F####:

I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS! IT ABSOLUTELY WORKS!!! Why only 4 stars?... For my needs, I'd like the option to Start the Server on app launch. This way, I can set Llama to start Airplayer when my old repurposed phone turns on. :-) This really is a great app, though!

To the person below, the people who rated the app low were probably looking for an app that allows them to play off of Apple Airplay speakers. The title of the app would lead an android user with old AR speakers to download this app and rate it low.

I use this in my room. i can stream from my 5s from my bed all the way across my room to my speakers. Great job guys!

It messed up my macbook, made it laggy, and after u just turned it off my Mac says no output devices found.

Works perfectly on Samsung galaxy s5, and it's completely free

C70%

The app does not work. I am unable to get any audio to stream. Android 5.0

N70%
by N####:

Discoverable but stream closes right away. Galaxy 3 and 1 (old devices).

S70%
by S####:

So far works awesome on my note4. This app paired up with an iTunes remote app to control itunes does all I need!

S70%
by S####:

It'll stream fine for a while but then randomly disconnects

S70%
by S####:

I think this is a heavy application and seems to conflict with Retunes. As a results music stutters.

Sometimes works

V70%
by V####:

This is probably the easiest app ever. Open the app, there is only one button which is shaped play, press it and bam. Your Android device is now an airplay audio receiver. Thank you for making this app free

S70%
by S####:

Works very well in conjunction with an ITunes remote app to allow me to use my iTunes library on the Mac on my android phone.

V70%
by V####:

Great app, works perfectly on both my Motorola XT926 and HP TouchPad. Requires no unnecessary permissions. A way to increase the stream buffer and a way to rename the device would be nice. You can't skip tracks, pause/resume, or adjust the stream volume in this app, but Retune can do this. It's still a really great app that does exactly what it's intended to do.

It works every time and I have never had any problems. Install if u are looking for a android airplay reciever

N70%

sadly, will not launch at all.. despite rebooting Android.

This app does one thing and it does it very well. Let's me stream music to my phone from iTunes. Don't need to restart iTunes, it just appears. Used on two phones without issues. Thanks for a great app!!

W70%
by W####:

Allows me to cast to my Apple TV both Plex for Android and the YouTube app. It does not seem to cast the native video player on my smartphone or the VLC app. Everything plays well and smoothly at great video quality.

N70%
by N####:

AIRPLAY is a PROPRIETARY and LOCKED DOWN trademark and streaming compression technology for use only on Apple and Apple-approved products. Having an app like this in the Play Store that promises compatibility is illegal trademark and copyright infringement along with being degrading to both the Apple iOS and Google Android names because this app is not always compatible even though the app description says it is and if Apple changes the RSA key to AirPlay, the app will have no chance of working at all.
