With the explosion of iPhones over the last few years, more and more people are turning to them to use as portable electronic gadgets no matter what the need. It seems that the iPhone has now started taking on the megaphone market, with apps abound to turn your phone into a bullhorn megaphone!
Needless to say - and sorry to be sour about this one - but an iPhone will never replace the utility of a proper megaphone, at least not in the near future. Whilst a megaphone amplifies and projects your voice over great distances (and uses up a lot of battery juice at the same time!), these iPhone apps only just amplify your voice a little, and add a sort of megaphone style distortion to your voice. Definitely a cool gadget, but probably not going to win any loudspeaker competitions anytime soon.
You can check out the app over on the Apple app store, but don’t go expecting to do any crowd control with the app!
