Leave a Review JBL OnBeat
Who needs it?
I bought the Radial Micro because it not only looks stylish, but it sounds great for such a small device.
I downloaded the app expecting extra features to be unlocked and the only thing it does for this particular dock is add an 'ORANGE' clock! what??? I have clocks galore for my iPhone, ALL of which look better than this one, and I certainly won't be using it! The app will be deleted until JBL at least offer a clock in keeping with the understated looks of their Docks.Show lessStrawbis
Don’t get Beat On this one!
Someone must have been asleep! And it was me!!!!!! Because I overslept twice thinking I missed my alarm, when it was plugged into my brand new JBL OnBeat recharging and speaker system. None of my alarm clock music apps work because of the JBL OnBeat’s auto off which turns off all music feeds after 10 minutes of none use, like when I’m asleep, duh!!. Can you say Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!!!!! I cannot call this a design flaw, because it is obviously a throw together before the holiday rush for sales!!!! Corporate dummies at the highest level of incompetence and greed!!!!
This app and the products which bear its name are both disasters and should not be purchased or used even if it is free!!! I bought the system to be a night stand musical alarm clock, but not one musical alarm clock app works when plugged in, including this app by Harlan JBL. It’s for the birds, like the ones you cannot hear once this app goes off and it’s plugged into an OnBeat recharging because of their auto-off. Did I say the auto shut off even kills this JBL app’s bird twitting alarm when it is plugged in to the OnBeat recharger. Can you say what a waste of money, time and effort? This app and the systems it is intended for must be a Joke! Joke! Joke!!! Stay away until they post an official apology and change the firmware for all past products. I work hard to earn my money and obviously, they didn’t bother to work on this product before release.
Don’t get Beat up On this app or the products carrying its name. I believe they used the same name to confuse people and make the product sound like something it cannot deliver, intelligent cooperates. Yah you Beat me up On this one.
I won't of even give this 1 star, but I had to enter something.Show lesszigname
JBL OnBeat Overrides iOS Autolock Settings :(
Someone was asleep-at-the-wheel when they went over the features for the OnBeat speaker dock. It has it's own auto-lock feature and it overrides that which is set in your iOS device. I'm surprised Apple let this product display the 'approved for iPhone' badge. Many, if not most, would use a speaker dock primarily as a charging station and alarm clock -- but the JBL OnBeat overrides any autolock settings in place on the device and puts it to sleep after 10 minutes. To make matter worse, system events like alarm sounds don't wake up the speakers.
The JBL OnBeat is fairly useless, and again, how could Apple let a product like this bear it's stamp-of-approval...?!?! :(Show lesschazview
Dock doesn't wake from standby :(
Great app/dock except in one thing.... The alarm clock functionality is useless as it doesn't wake the dock from standby mode and therefore defeats the purpose of using it as an alarm clock because no sound comes out of the dock unless you manually wake up the dock...VERY DISAPOINTED, love the dock and the sound but will have to return this dock unless this gets fixed in the app, it's unusable for alarm clock...will update rating if this gets fixed.Show lessShinook9808
I need to wake up
I'm a DJ that needs a loud alarm clock and was hoping to use the on beat with iPad to get me up....please jbl allow the speakers to wake up to wake me up.Sound Event DJs
Rubbish
As above - just a marketing stuntRubyonone
Wake speaker
I bought the onbeat to replace my clock radio for my IPad. Unfortunately, none of the nightstand/alarm clock apps (including this one) has the ability to wake the speakers from sleep mode, which the on beat automatically goes into. This prevents from the alarm being loud enough and waking me up. So please, JBL, fix this so that it will wake your speakers with the alarm! and I will be glad to give it the full 5 starsShow lessArtisanx

App
Nice app. Although it does do anything more than iTunes has to offer. It's hard to organize your playlist/music. I do not recommend it.BQapp
