Ratings and reviews

Finally, the noise from my fan is gone, and I can attend meetings without getting hot, hahaha.

Very satisfied. My Zoom and FaceTime correspondents report a noticeable improvement in my voice.

The app is working awesome but draining battery soooo much. Do you have any options to fix that? 2h of call on google meets normally takes 25% of my mac baterry, but with joycast runnig it takes 60% of my battery, thats a lot!

This is an ideal app. I have an SMB7 mic setup for real recording stuff, but I’ve hated having an entire audio setup cluttering my workspace for the day-to-day zoom-meetings (which is a major part of my work). This app makes the iMac microphone functional, especially in my reverby room. I’ve been getting LOTS of compliments from my colleagues about the sound. One caveat: the AI doesn’t seem to like additional white noise; I have a noisy fan in my office that I sometimes run and my colleagues tell me that sound is not as good when I am running my fan. I think that kind of limitation is to be expected.

This is an amazing tool, so helpful. Thank you!

EDIT: Uladzimir is incredibly responsive, he baked a proper uninstaller in no time. Nice app, but it isn’t significantly better than the built‑in voice isolation. The audio sometimes flattens my voice and makes it sound higher‑pitched, muffled, or even nasal. I wish the audio quality could be closer to professional standards.

Klingt wirklich hörbar besser! Kann man mal installieren.

With the latest version, I am experiencing an issue in my daily use: when I set the Joycast virtual microphone as the input for Google Meet, my voice does not pass through, and nobody in the meeting can hear me. This is a daily problem. Note: I am using the wireless OnePlus Pro 2 buds with a MacBook Pro. This should work properly right?

Joycast appears to conflict with Microsoft Teams, resulting in no audio after ten minutes of a call.

So happy with this app addition. I can use this now instead of Krisp.

Fantastic application - team collegues can understand me clearly and now I do not need the ridiculous microphone beam anymore.

I honestly don’t like the way it makes the audio sound through my built in macbook air mic 🤷🏼‍♂️, but it’s great on my Rode Broadcaster mic and Rodecaster Pro setup.

Would love if quality can be like Adobe Podcast v2 someday, rest super good. Just need Adobe Podcast Tuning vibes here

So far, excellent sound. Congratulations!!!

Works great. Only downside I have is that I frequently switch from my wired EarPods to wireless AirPods. In that case, I need to manually change the input device in JoyCast, because there is no “system default” input device option. You specifically have to select an input device. It would be nice if it can switch automatically.

JoyCast really surprised me, and works extremely well. I’m also experiencing a heavy hit to system resources / battery life on my MacBook running JoyCast, so I kill the app when I don’t need it. It would be great to be able to run it all of the time in the background if that can be optimized. I would also love the option to disable the video/mirror feature from the menubar. It feels a bit like feature-creep, that in my personal case, I would love to turn off if possible in the future. Great job, keep up the good work.

Joycast is a great app and I really enjoy using it for my broadcasts. It’s clean, stable, and easy to set up, which makes the streaming experience smooth and enjoyable. However, I would love to see the developers add a few features that would make the app even better especially for audio-focused streamers like me. It would be amazing to have the ability to use multiple audio inputs at the same time, or even a dedicated “Audio-only” section for those of us who stream voice and music without video. Right now, I have two microphones connected through different audio apps, but Joycast only allows one input at a time. Having more input flexibility would make the app much more powerful and versatile. Overall, I really like the app, and I hope future updates bring these improvements. Joycast has a lot of potential, and I’m excited to see how it grows!

It works! I have an echo in my room and this app totally reduces it. I am very glad to see such results. Thank you so much. However, the privacy policy is not clear to me. I hope nothing from my microphone leaks to the network

Thank you!

I suspect the ratings are somewhat manipulated. JoyCast severely disrupted my ability to use recording features in Cursor, VSCode, Aqua, and many other applications. After uninstalling it and restarting, none of these apps could record. If you find yourself in a similar situation, here is a script to clean up after this issue. Personally, I am not angry with JoyCast, but SetApp should conduct at least a minimal amount of testing before releasing an app. A clean uninstall should be the bare minimum.
