absolutely useless. The app has successfully connected to the soundbar twice in three months. you are unable to adjust any extra settings because of this. it's paired to a Sony TV as well which also had a faulty motherboard replaced after just three months. basically it's all going to be changed. I won't ever buy Sony again. Don't buy it! it's unusable!

Pain full process of registering device... The app detects the TV flawlessly but while connecting by selecting from the list.. It never connects. By luck if it connects, then it will haaoen only once. Next time you want to use the app, it might or might not connect. Very unreliable behavior from the app. Not sure if it is only related to the app or there is something not working from TV as well. The troubleshooting steps never helps.

Continues to be the absolute worst piece of garbage app. So slow, so unintuitive, takes forever to connect. The most recent update somehow has made the connection far worse. Takes so long to connect and then either the soundbar or the tv doesn't connect. Continues to be useless garbage. TV connects maybe 1 out of 10 times. Absolutely pointless garbage
