Stuck on Repeat Track
This is a great concept and exactly what we need to play a single track announcement over a PA system using an iPhone but it’s buggy in that it repeats the track continuously (regardless of whether this option is selected or not) and the user must manually stop the track after a single play. Frustrating!!!

It works
Props to Dayton audio for building these apps for so many products and actually having them work (cough cough KEF)
Adding
can you please add youtube to music service thanks. i love your app
Worst sound system ever
This app don’t do nothing with all the hype.tried connecting it but it don’t stay longer and sometimes it don’t connect at all.what a waste of technology
Doesn’t stay connected to Wi-Fi or reconnect very well at all
This came in my apartment. It doesn’t connect to the Wi-Fi very well. It’s not like something you can just open the app and play music unfortunately. Sometimes it’ll connect but usually not. Sometimes it’ll connect a few hours later and you know because it announces over the speakers the Wi-Fi is connected. Sometimes you try to connect and it won’t and then three or four days later you’ll get the announcement that it’s connected.

It’s ok...
I came here to look for other people’s reviews on this app but saw there was only one?! Surprising considering the apps been out for ages. I did notice that the last update was done a year ago though.
I bought a couple of the WBA31 audio receivers to trial to hopefully buy more of for home audio distribution.
I do have a few Sonos speakers and a Connect and was hoping to expand in the Dayton gear instead.
The WBA’s work ok once I could finally get them connected to my wifi. I needed to join the same network as the unit itself via the WAP and then point the unit to the network I wanted it to join to.
I find that the devices are a little slow to be “found” once you close then open the app.
There are times when one of the devices just drops off the network.
The app controller doesn’t have any EQ control.
The balance between left, right and stereo doesn’t seem to make a difference which is annoying as I run each channel into separate speakers and want to control them individually.
The app does a fairly good job of controls and looks but it definitely doesn’t compare to other controllers unfortunately.

Needs a revamp
It works as advertised but sometimes need to swap the “master” and “slave” units to get the effect of whole home audio. Furthermore, the app interface is VERY poky and it makes joining zones annoying because sometimes it times out. I have one amplified module and one non amplified and am adding a stand-alone AERO speaker next week to test further capabilities. Granted it is much more cost effective than a SONOS setup but that interface is much less buggy and integrates much better with different streaming services. Better support for pandora is hopefully coming in future releases of the app???

Dayton WBA31
Was a bit confusing to set up at first, most likely user error. Works as intended. It did crash on me the first 10mins of installing. Pairs well w Spotify but you have to go to Spotify itself to add the device, not the app. Some people might not recognize that workaround.
Recent problem
The app, while not perfect, was sufficient to run the two Dayton Audio devices we have for two years and streamed from internet radio and a local DLNA server. The devices themselves are great. Recently we updated our network and now the app can no connect to multiple DLNA servers that are present on the network. It only detects one. I have used another app (VLC) and can see both servers. Using VLC, I can stream to both devices from either server. The Dayton Audio website seems to be “under maintenance” for several weeks and there is no response from to emails.

Bugs
The app won’t let me link rooms together and also has difficulty turning the volume up and down at times
