Phone speaker water removal
One tap plays a low tone through the speaker to move the water out. Then Ashore hands you the tools to hear whether it worked.
Cleaning needs no permission and no connection. The full version adds the speaker test, the tone generator and a sound level reading.
What it does
No setup, no account, nothing to read first. Open it and press start.
Free, unlimited, always
A pulsed low tone through the speaker. Turn the volume up, lay the phone screen down on a dry cloth, and start it. The tone loosens the water; the cloth takes it from there.
There is no daily count, no cooldown, no session cap and nothing that degrades after repeated use. No advertisement, paywall, permission prompt or upsell appears before or during a run.
How to run it
1
All the way. The tone works by moving the diaphragm as far as it will go.
2
The tone loosens the water. The cloth is what takes it away.
3
When it finishes, play the speaker test and listen.
Do not hold the phone to your ear during a run, and disconnect headphones first. The signal plays at the maximum media level the platform allows, and Ashore never attempts to bypass a platform volume or hearing-safety limit.
Then hear whether it worked
Ashore does not claim that, because it cannot measure it. The full version gives you the check instead: three tools that let you judge the speaker with your own ears.
A swept low tone, played to one output at a time so you can compare them directly.
Listen for a rattle, a buzz or a rasp that is not part of the sound, or one output sounding duller than the other.
A clean sine tone at any frequency you choose, held for as long as you want it.
Useful for checking a speaker, a room or a pair of headphones, and for anything else you would reach for a tone to do.
A live reading of what the microphone hears, with the current, average, lowest and highest value over the measurement.
Indicative - a phone microphone is not calibrated, and the app says so on the screen at all times.
All three are part of the full version, bought once inside the app. Cleaning stays free and unlimited either way.
What is free
A person reaching for this app usually has a wet phone in their hand right now. That path is free, unlimited and unobstructed, and it stays that way. What you can buy is what you do afterwards: the tools to listen.
Ashore cannot tell you whether the water is gone. It can let you hear it.
The sentence the app shows when a run finishes.
Sold in the app as a subscription or a one-time purchase. The current price is shown in the App Store or Google Play before you buy anything.
Questions
Play a low tone through it. The tone moves the speaker diaphragm far enough to push the water out of the port. Ashore does that for you in one tap. Turn the volume up first and lay the phone screen down on a dry cloth, so the water has somewhere to go, and repeat it as often as you like.
It moves it. That is why the technique is used widely and why phone makers ship their own version of it. What Ashore adds is the part that usually goes missing: once the run has finished, it hands you the tools to listen for yourself instead of telling you it worked.
Cleaning is free and unlimited, permanently, with no advertising and no account. The speaker test, the tone generator and the sound level reading are part of the full version, which is a purchase inside the app.
No. There is no trial and no introductory offer on any option. Cleaning being free permanently is what stands in place of one.
Both, as one product. Where a platform genuinely cannot do something, the app says so on that platform rather than claiming it anyway.
No account, ever. Cleaning works with no connection at all. The only request the app makes over the network is the one that checks whether a purchase is active.
No. The sound level reading reduces each block of audio to a single number while it is still in memory and then discards the audio. Nothing is written to a file and nothing leaves the phone. The microphone is only ever used while that one screen is open, and the app asks before it asks the system.
It is indicative. A phone microphone is not calibrated, so the number is a guide and not something to rely on for a decision that matters. The app states this on the screen, permanently, in every state of it, and it is not something you can dismiss.
In App Store subscriptions on iPhone, or Google Play subscriptions on Android, at least 24 hours before it renews. Ashore never takes the payment itself, so cancelling is always done in the store that took it.
Free and unlimited. No advertising, no account.
