No longer support iA9 radio

I have a iA9 and this app no longer connects.
Radio works perfectly fine, but I can no longer update the clock and date with this app. I don't think BSI cares about their old customers.
Reload on a new iPhone seemed like it connected and then said something about device not working
I will not purchase another iHome device

Loved it until I got my new iPhone!

Loved this until I bought the iPhone 11 pro max now it won’t work every time I try to set it up it says it needs to be updated once I press update it says it up to date! So now I have to donate it since it’s un usable for me now I’m extremely disappointed since I absolutely love my dock when I want to listen to music great sound quality for something so little! I really hope there is a way to make a new update for the iPhone 11 pro max so I don’t have to get rid of it!

Doesn’t work

Do not rely on this app to get your iHome iW1 working, it just crashes every time you attempt to connect it to a WiFi network.

Instead, hold down the WiFi button, then connect your iPad or iPhone to the ihome setup network. Once connected launch your browser and navigate to 169.254.1.1

From here you can select which WiFi network you want to connect the iW1 to. Once it’s connected remember to reconnect your iPad or iPhone to your WiFi network.

Gotta love that lockout image.

Got a hold of a secondhand iP50 dock that uses Bluetooth and the older 30-pin interface, which is why it was cheap secondhand.

However, on a modern Lightning equipped phone (iPhone 8 Plus) and pairing only with Bluetooth, I was greeted with a lockout screen, telling me to connect the device to the 30-pin after a few seconds of quick adjusting. The app was pretty convenient for the few seconds of using it, almost all parameters from alarm set, to tone control, to even dimming the display. Slick until it tripped hard.

Way to go, Soundesign! The iP50 is pretty good on its own, a shame about this app.

Won’t even connect

Downloaded this app to control my iHome w3 wireless speaker I’ve had in storage for about two years. Charged up the speaker and tried to connect to my new WiFi setup and the app won’t even stay open when I try to connect my iPhone to it via a lightning cable. Now I’ve got an usable speaker that I paid a lot of money for just a few years ago. I’ll never buy another iHome product again if this is how they support their products.

Only giving it 1 star because 0 isn’t an option

What a terrible company! I now have an expensive brick on my nightstand. No app update for over 2 years and now the app has suddenly STOPPED working! This isn’t my first iPhone brick. I gave them a chance a few years ago when I got my LAST iHome product. No more. The company charges $100 for a clock radio and then stops supporting the app that made it work. I am done with this fly-by-night company of crooks.

IHome is garbage in all aspects

To the developers: update the app so that your products continue to work. They’ve abandoned their customers and decided that now we’ve wasted money. Complete disrespect and consideration. Nerves again will I buy anything iHome

Horrible app.

Unable to setup WiFi for wireless connection because the app keep crashing. When I first purchased the iHome app it worked fine. No issues. I moved a year later and left my speaker packed away. I tried to setup the speakers 2 years later using app and the app kept crashing when I tried to open it. I can only operate the speakers with manual connection.

Update This App

I have iHome iW2 speakers that are now obsolete because this app is not compatible with new iPhones. Will never buy another iHome product again!

Crashes when connecting iW3 speaker on iOS 12.1

I have several iHome iW3 speakers that I use for Airplay streaming. I need to reset the wifi settings on them. When I launch this app on an iPhone or iPad running the current version of iOS and connect the speaker via USB, I briefly see the current settings of the device and then the app crashes.
