Only three of the eleven AI interview copilots compared here have a native app in the phone stores today: LockedIn AI and Cluely on iPhone, and Hedy AI on iPhone and Android, as listed on November 13, 2026. Verve AI, Parakeet AI and Interview Sidekick work in a phone's browser instead, Final Round AI handles phone interviews by having the computer hear the call, and Sensei AI and Interview Coder publish no phone option. CoPilot Interview, which we make, has an iPhone app in Apple's TestFlight and an Android APK beta, built for practice, and it is our pick for practising on a phone and taking the call on a laptop.

Competitor details are as each vendor listed them on its own site on November 13, 2026. Items marked October 2026 come from our earlier reading of the same vendor's pages, used where the page did not show the figure today. They change often, so confirm on the vendor's site before you pay.
What a phone can and cannot hear
A desktop app reads the audio the computer is playing, so it hears the interviewer as the meeting app delivers them. A phone hears through its microphone, which picks up you, the interviewer on speaker and the room. Verve AI's own docs say as much: its mobile version captures both voices from one source, so audio quality is lower, transcription is compromised, and you must tell it which speaker is the interviewer. That is fine for rehearsal and weak for a live call. Does an AI interview app work during a phone call? goes into the details.
Three ways to handle a phone interview
- Phone on speaker beside a laptop. The laptop's microphone hears both sides. Final Round AI and Interview Sidekick describe this setup.
- The call on the laptop. Take the interview through a dialer such as Google Voice or Zoom Phone on the computer, so a desktop tool hears it directly. Parakeet AI and Interview Sidekick describe this route.
- A phone app on the table. For an in-person interview, Hedy AI suggests a phone on the table. Check the employer's rules first; many in-person rounds expect no devices.
- Whichever you choose, the best AI interview apps for your phone covers the practice side.
Traps to check before you pay
- Mobile often means a browser. Verve AI, Parakeet AI and Interview Sidekick run in a phone browser, not a store app, and Verve AI's phone version covers phone interviews only.
- Android is the gap. Cluely's mobile app is Apple only, and LockedIn AI's support page says its Android app is still in development.
- Store prices can differ. LockedIn AI says subscription prices in its mobile apps follow store price points and local currency, so they may not match the web.
- Minimum versions. Hedy AI needs iOS 17 or Android 12; our Android beta needs Android 10.
- Betas are not store apps. Our iPhone app is in TestFlight and our Android app is an APK beta; installing through TestFlight explains the steps.
Where a phone is the right tool
A phone is the best device for practice in spare moments: a question on the train, an answer out loud on a walk, a story rehearsed before a call. It is the weakest device for the live call itself, for the audio reasons above. Most candidates do best with practice on the phone and the interview on a laptop, using headphones. Our mobile app guide compares the phone options in more depth.
Where CoPilot Interview fits
★ Best choice for practice on a phone and live help on a laptop: CoPilot Interview. CoPilot Interview is an interview copilot built as a desktop app for Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 12 or later. It runs as a separate window, listens to the call and your microphone, and shows captions and a structured answer in about two seconds. On phones: An Android APK beta of about 8 MB for Android 10 or later, not on Google Play yet, and an iPhone app in Apple's TestFlight, not on the App Store yet. Both are for spoken practice. The free plan gives 15 minutes a day of live help in sessions of up to 15 minutes, with AI mock interviews included. Paid plans are $24.99 (Standard) or $39.99 (Pro) a month, and hour packs cost $9.99, $29.99 or $49.99. On any device, follow your employer's rules.
Also consider: Hedy AI if you want native apps on both iPhone and Android for a general conversation coach, and LockedIn AI if you want a live copilot app on iPhone.
Disclosure: CoPilot Interview is our product, so weigh what we say about it accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI interview copilots have an iPhone app?
As listed on November 13, 2026, LockedIn AI, Cluely and Hedy AI have iPhone apps. CoPilot Interview's iPhone app is in Apple's TestFlight, not on the App Store yet.
Is there an Android AI interview copilot app?
Hedy AI lists Android 12 or later. LockedIn AI's support page says its Android app is in development. CoPilot Interview has an Android APK beta for Android 10 or later, not on Google Play yet.
Can an AI interview app help during a phone call?
A phone app hears only its microphone, so it hears the room rather than the call. The more reliable setups put the phone on speaker beside a laptop or take the call on the laptop. Follow your employer's rules.
Is the CoPilot Interview phone app in the App Store?
Not yet. The iPhone app is in Apple's TestFlight and the Android app is an APK beta. Both are built for practice.
Do phone-browser versions work as well as desktop?
Verve AI's own docs say no: its mobile version has lower audio quality and compromised transcription, and it recommends mobile only when a phone is your sole option.
