### 1/5 — DO YOU READ THE REVIEWS???

*2019-05-01*

On Beat has not been updated for the latest iOS and repeatedly fails to connect to my iPad. I then spend 30 minutes resetting/rebooting everything to get it working again. 
Is it too much to ask for an update or are you content with bad ratings and soon to be ex-customers of JBL/Harman products??
