### 3/5 — Cannot upgrade

*2018-10-20, version 1.2.2*

Can’t upgrade to V1.1.6 
Volume too loud but bass is too weak

### 3/5 — อัพเดท ios แล้วใช้ไม่ได้

*2018-02-13, version 1.2.2*

หลังจาก อัพเดท ios 11.2.5 แล้ว อุปกรณ์ Advanced ไม่สามารถใช้ได้ แก้ไข ให้ด้วย

พยายามติดต่อกับทางบริษัทแล้ว ได้รับความช่วยเหลืออยู่พอสมควร ยังไงจะลองแจ้งให้ทราบอีกที

### 1/5 — No updates

*2018-01-02, version 1.2.2*

I was part of the Kickstarter to get this company off the ground the product does not work properly you get new updates “one star”

### 1/5 — Disappointed. Not supported

*2017-12-07, version 1.2.2*

A delayed receipt of the product, application doesn’t work and neither does the plug, even with the application that doesn’t recognize it. A huge let down.

### 1/5 — กรุณาแก้ไข

*2017-12-01, version 1.2.2*

ทำไมเชื่อมต่อไม่ได้ สัญญาณหลุดตลอด ต้องถอดออกแล้วเสียบใหม่ ล่าสุดไม่ใช้ได้เลย

อัพเดทเวอร์ชั่นใหม่แล้ว ก็เหมือนเดิม ขึ้นชาร์ทแบต 3 วินาที ก็หลุดหมด เรื่องฟังเพลงเลิกคิด ขึ้นที่แอพ disconnected ตลอด

Why can not I connect? Signal dropped forever Must be removed and then plugged. Last not available at all.

Update the new version and then the same battery charge 3 seconds to get out of the music listening to stop thinking at the app disconnected throughout. No good

### 1/5 — Musicians will have a big issues with this

*2017-11-14, version 1.2.2*

After so long it still doesn’t work and forget to use it with the accessport at all! I give up! Andvanced what a useless company another one to add on the list...

### 1/5 — Sooooo about that update

*2017-11-06, version 1.2*

Finally it’s here! It just doesn’t work.  The app still says disconnected when the device is plugged in and I still get the error accessory not supported. I wanted this to work so badly. This device is great in theory.

### 1/5 — Never a smooth update

*2017-10-20, version 1.1*

Locked up at 10% this time. This app has never worked properly. Not a single firmware update was without issue (on two different Accessports). On top of that, the Accessport still emits a hissing sound on high-end headphones. 
I highly recommend avoiding the Accessport as well as this app. 

Update:
I was able to update the Accessport by completely resetting the iPhone's memory. You can do this by restarting your device or, the faster way, press and hold the power button until the power slider appears on the screen, then press and hold the home button until the screen is dismissed. That worked.

Update 2: still hear hissing feedback on sensitive headphones, the kind that audiophiles like to use, the same kind of people who would buy the Accessport.

### 3/5 — ファームウェア更新後はiPhoneの再起動が必要かも

*2017-09-14, version 1.1*

このアプリを使って購入したばかりのAccessportのファームウェアをv1.1.2に更新したら、ボリュームを最小(ミュートの1つ前)に絞っても爆音で再生されてしまうという不具合が発生していましたが、iPhoneを再起動したら改善されました(とはいえ、それでもまだそれなりの音量で再生されますが)

### 4/5 — Works

*2017-09-10, version 1.1*

As with 95% of all software problems this froze when I first ran it but was easily remedied by rebooting my device (shut down / restart), connect dongle, launch app, then use down arrow button to update firmware.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2017-08-31, version 1.1*

Fix your app!!!

### 1/5 — Not working...

*2017-08-23, version 1.1*

Not loading update, plz check you app and release in appstore. Unbelievable.

### 2/5 — Not on iPhone 6

*2017-08-21, version 1.0*

App doesn't work on iPhone 6 as advertised. Had to connect device to iPad Pro to update firmware to v1.1.1. Tried again on iPhone 6, still not recognized by app.

### 1/5 — Calls is almost inaudible

*2017-08-01, version 1.0*

Call is inaudible. Reported to the creator hoping to get the call problem fix.

### 1/5 — iOS 14/XS Max: Does Not Work

*2021-01-16, version 1.2.2*

Appears the manufacturer has abandoned the app - like previous post, the app doesn’t recognize it’s plugged in... tried rebooting phone, reloading app. Too bad a decent product, excellent value for the $$

### 1/5 — Worst thing I bought from kickstarter!!

*2019-11-18, version 1.2.2*

It doesn’t work anymore. I keep on getting ‘this device is not supported’ on my iPhone

### 1/5 — Poor

*2019-11-13, version 1.2.2*

Poor quality software, worse quality hardware. So fed up with it disconnecting constantly I've finally given up and binned it. So much promise, so little delivered.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t pair

*2019-11-03, version 1.2.2*

Always shows disconnected message despite being paired to mobile phone. Please help!

### 1/5 — Does not recognize my access port

*2019-09-07, version 1.2.2*

I plugged it in a few times and even restarted my phone and it still says disconnected

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work

*2019-06-26, version 1.2.2*

Headphones are connected (and playing music!) but this app just says “disconnected”.  The model is supposedly supported by this app; just doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Stucked at 10%

*2019-04-28, version 1.2.2*

😕🙁

### 1/5 — Please do update

*2018-12-27, version 1.2.2*

You haven’t done an update in over a year 
1.1 years ago 

iOS has changed 
The app was horrible and had lots of errors then 
Please do a new update

### 1/5 — Both app and Accessport does not work

*2018-10-15, version 1.2.2*

Since iOS 11, plugging in the port will result in the following error message “Accessory not supported”.   Contacting tech support resulted in zero response.   App also cannot detect device.   Either way, this venture by ADV-Sound was well-intentioned but has proven to be an utter failure and a fiasco.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2018-05-19, version 1.2.2*

Terrible support and product. It never works. Any apple product I have tried it with says it is not supported. App never shows it being connected. I tried to get my money back from the company and all they did was send a replacement unit which has the exact same problems. A great idea with a great physical design but terrible internal issues. A major disappointment.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2018-10-01, version 1.2.2*

Maybe I’m late to the game and the issues have been fixed, but I just downloaded the app and updated the firmware. Took less than two minutes in total, with it plugged in already and music was playing. No issues at all. No restarting. No weird noises. Charges just fine.

### 5/5 — Accessport High-resolution Audio Amplifier  works fine

*2017-11-11, version 1.2.2*

After uprgading firmware of my Accessport High-resolution Audio Amplifier  it works as a sound DAC-Amplifier fine. But Earphone inline volume Up and Down control  now is disabled on all my MFI headpones!!!  Please fix it.

### 5/5 — Accespoortの仕様

*2017-11-10, version 1.2.2*

Accespoortはハイレゾフォーマットをネイティブ再生出来る製品ではありません。Lightning接続可能な一般的なハイレゾ対応のDAC製品とは異なります。
単純にApple純正のLightningアダプタに高音質技術と同時充電機能を追加しただけです。ネイティブ再生出来るのはApple純正のLightningアダプタ同じ24bit/48kHzまでです。ただしAccesportは96kHzへのアップサンプリングを行っています。48kHzより上のサンプリング周波数のネイティブ再生は出来ません。

### 5/5 — Finicky, but I worthwhile!

*2017-09-21, version 1.1*

Maybe I’m just inpatient but it got stuck at 10% like someone else. I closed the app, unplugged DAC and re downloaded app, plugged it back in and updated real fast to 1.12. LOVE THIS

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2017-07-28, version 1.0*

Installed the app, plugged in my access port and voila it updates. No problems whatsoever. Hopefully this continues in the future, but for now, great!

### 5/5 — ファームウェアアップデータよりも

*2017-07-21, version 1.0*

1.1.0への更新は問題なく完了。音量がやたら大きくなった気がします。
しかし、ACCESSPORTに必要なのは96KHzのサンプルレートでハイレゾ再生できるアプリの情報だと思う

### 5/5 — Release 1.0 fixes my call issue

*2017-07-20, version 1.0*

Thank you guys. The release of the app and subsequent firmware update corrected my call volume issues. Love the silky tones provided by the AccessPort.

### 5/5 — It updated

*2017-07-20, version 1.0*

Firmware updated successfully.

### 4/5 — 좋네요 앱 기기 모두

*2020-03-13, version 1.2.2*

아이폰xs 
Advanced accessport 1
연결 잘됩니다

### 4/5 — Too loud

*2017-12-14, version 1.2.2*

The volume is too high ,even I switch to low on my phone.
