Worst app ever

So Oppo, or whoever for them designed this app that has so many issues to work with such a nice streamer as Sonica?! Absolutely nerve wrecking piece of garbage. Same goes for Oppo repair centre. Thank God they are out of business for high quality hi-fi gear.

I think I hate Oppo

Worlds biggest mistake buying this. Picked up a used device on eBay not realizing it was 100% dependent upon the app. The app just shuts down every time I try to launch it. I just bought a $1000 paper weight.

If I had someone from Oppo in front of me right now I’d disembowel them.

Doesn’t pair with my IPhone

Bluetooth issues. Very very frustrating. I am using iPhone. I used to pair it, not anymore

Crash after crash

Please fix this app
It crashes each time you launch
It’s useless!

App keep crashing

App keep crashing on iPhone XS but work fine on 11 Pro max with same iOS versions 14.7.1

Major Disappointment

iOS 13 deemed the app inoperable. While this device is no longer produced, the developers could’ve at least pushed out a final stable build that would work for future OS updates to come.

This is not the case. Shows that the company doesn’t care for the satisfaction of its long standing customers, but instead just the revenue they produce from their current product line up.

For reference, when I tried reaching out they replied “thank you for bringing up your concern”. Have not received any further correspondence since.

Unusable in ios 14.5

The app keeps crashing with in seconds of launching on iOS 14.5 both on iPhone and iPad, rendering the app and my Sonica Dac completely useless!!

App no longer works

Setting up a speaker didn’t work as the app hasn’t been updated to use the new iOS hooks for wifi discovery. In other words it’s broken.

Stereo pair of speaker now bricks

Well, what a bummer. I bought a stereo pair of speakers that I use heavily, based on my years of great experiences with many Oppo products. Unfortunately, they decided to get out of the hardware business shortly thereafter. But they still supported the app for a while, so it was not a total loss. Until now. After iOS 13 came out, the app crashed right after startup. Which renders the stereo pair totally inoperable. I can play through one speaker without using the app, but strangely I only get one channel of audio. So basically I have two very expensive bricks.

Update. So a year later they released a new version, claiming it fixes the iOS 13 problem. Do not believe it. The app still crashes on startup. Two expensive speakers are still bricks.

"Remote control" function

After the latest update of the application on ios 13 it crushes when try use the function "remote control". So you did not fix ios 13 issues but created the issue. Please fix it asap!
