### 4/5 — Some improvement needed

*2026-03-07*

This is definitely one of the more well thought out design wise be it functions grouping or the material design ish UI. Unfortunately it still suffers from two issues.

First is the debug process being not comprehensive. IOS sometimes need restart to make Bluetooth connection discoverable by apps, it's not just ak, fiio and alike too. But the debug page never wrote this so a lot of people just try disconnect reconnect and quickly  get turned away.

Second is, if there's device connected and the app already discovered it once, it really should just skip the splash screen and enter the control interface directly unless more than one device is connected 

Otherwise good work.

### 1/5 — まともに動かない。

*2025-12-07, version 1.8*

音量調整のみならずBT/USB接続偏向といった単純な動作もできない。本体側でできない作業でアプリがこれならどうやって使えと。

### 1/5 — fully does not connect to HB1

*2025-06-06*

multiple ios devices, multiple resets, multiple HB1’s. Unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect through usb

*2024-07-16*

It won’t recognize HB1 though usb, only work with Bluetooth.

### 3/5 — 起動時

*2024-07-05, version 1.8*

「AK Controlの起動中」押下、鬱陶しい。省略しては

### 1/5 — Poor

*2024-06-05, version 1.8*

For earphones that are supposed to be Audiophile quality, this app just screams “thrown together”. Every time I connect, the earphones are in mono mode - I have to toggle “Detect Wear During Playback” to get it back to stereo. Does it regardless of the setting being on or off, it’s every reconnect. Mono isn't very audiophile now is it?!

### 1/5 — ゴミ

*2024-05-16, version 1.8*

何回やってもアプリがイヤフォンを認識してくれないゴミアプリ
本体の性能がいいだけに残念で仕方がない

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2023-12-10*

App doesn’t connect.  Company response lacking.

### 1/5 — Lots to be desired here

*2023-11-10*

Hey webfam!  Wish I could write a 5 star review here—that’s all we want right!? Fantastic products and service..I’ve tried to connect way too many times with the new wireless mkIIs A&K recently launched.  The buds have only locked on 1 time so I finally just left the app alone.  Pass.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect - useless

*2023-11-09*

I’m using this to connect to the newly released HB1 Bluetooth DAC, and the app simply doesn’t connect. The device connects to my phone and will play sound, but when it comes to app connectivity, the app doesn’t recognize the device properly. May return the whole product because of this. Disappointing. Sad to see it’s affected their other products as well based on other commenters.
