I sometimes have to open and close it multiple times before it connects to my Klipsch 3. It’s not my internet. I would have given it two stars, but it got a little better after I installed an update a while back. Plus, when it works, it’s great. I would think with all the competing play-fi products out there, Klipsch would really try to get it right. ### 2/5 — Great hardware; very weak software *2019-02-20* They call it the future of streaming music cause it sure ain’t the present. Even freshly updated I have to reboot the PowerBridge multiple times a day to keep it paired with my phone, and even then it sometimes can’t find the device. Very frustrating, to say the least. I love that I can stream local radio, though, that is a plus when it works. Now, about incorporating Apple Music into the app... never mind. ### 1/5 — I Expect More From Klipsch *2018-12-03* This app is no where near what it should be from a company like Klipsch. I’ve had the same experience as others with dropped speakers, etc. Come on guys! Either figure it out, or make everything Bluetooth and drop the dts Play-Fi. ### 1/5 — Spotify users beware *2018-10-19* Several capabilities are extremely limited when using Spotify. No zones and very difficult to use surround sound. The Klipsch support guy said “it would be fine if I used literally any other music service.” Then don’t advertise compatibility with Spotify... ### 1/5 — Please fix! *2018-06-17* I love this app when it works. Unfortunately, more times than not, it drops a speaker or the music stops while it tries to reconnect. Not a great experience in the middle of a party. ### 1/5 — Speakers should not stop working every time there is a software ‘upgrade’ *2018-05-17* This update, just like the last, turns a perfectly working speaker into one that does not work at all. The last update required several hours work before the speaker was functional again. Why do you repeatedly release updates that do not work? I was perfectly happy with the original version. It’s a speaker. It should play music regardless of what updates are pushed through the apple store. ### 1/5 — Maby the worst app ever created *2018-04-18* I get to use this great sounding, EXPENSIVE speaker. It demands updates almost ever time I try and mostly give up. For every update it ask for the serial number on back that is microscopic. The sound is amazing the few times it works. ### 1/5 — Great hardware. Awful software. *2018-01-16, version 4.38.171201* I wish I had read reviews before trying to go wireless with Klipsch. Love the sound, am very frustrated with everything else. Hours wasted for what now feels like overpriced speakers. Not while wired cause the sound is great. Wireless though? Not worth your time as the apps are finicky at best and a month in I’ve spent more time trying to troubleshoot than I care to think about. Make better software and I’ll change my view. Right now I’d offload these for a very expensive loss if I had the heart to put this on someone else... ### 2/5 — I wish this was more reliable *2017-09-15, version 4.1.170726* It would be a 4 or 5 if the app would stay connected more reliably. Some days it won't connect at all, others it connects fine but loses connection after a period of listening. When it works, it works great, I just wish that was more often. ### 2/5 — So close to being awesome it's frustrating. *2017-08-20* I love this thing and has so much potential. System is very unstable from a software perspective. If the update it keeps telling me I need was ever available might fix it but the update never works. System disconnects all the time. Great sound powering my elacs. Bad software. Hope the update comes through and will be much more stable aystem. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please fix! *2026-06-21* I love this app when it works. Unfortunately, more times than not, it drops a speaker or the music stops while it tries to reconnect. Not a great experience in the middle of a party. ### 1/5 — Broken! *2023-06-21* Upgraded to latest version which required a system update to my Three. No longer plays music from my media server! Seems to be totally broken! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t like to connect via wi-fi *2023-04-01* Always having connectivity issues through wi-fi which causes me to divert to another product most of the time. The sound quality of these speakers are fantastic; software is terrible. Lots of potential to compete with Sonos but the software/app is just not good ### 1/5 — PowerGate *2022-12-23* This app no longer recognizes my Klipsch PowerGate. Used to work wonderfully. Do not update. ### 1/5 — App constantly crashes & drops play *2022-01-19* Wish the quality of the APP for Klipsch speakers was at least half as good as the sound. It’s really incomprehensible how horrible this app is. Sometimes is works - most times is wants to constantly crash/drop recognition of speakers/devices and the use of channels/music apps (like Pandora, Amazon, etc). The troubleshooting BOT is a joke. Looking for new speakers with solution— so that I can actually use them. — too bad we currently we own 8 Klipsch speakers of several sizes. ) : tired of hoping they’re going to finally fix it. ### 1/5 — It’s not really good *2020-10-28* This app needs a lot of work, please fix it ### 1/5 — Super glitchy *2020-02-09* Bought Klipsch The Three. Speaker sounds amazing but this App and it's connectivity with streaming services and the Alexa app are really horrendous. Klipsch needs to fix this app ### 1/5 — Klipsch fails to deliver *2020-01-28, version 5.11.190918* Klipsch used be a reference. Now they are a pale comparison to their legacy. Just look at how they let down all the T5 buyer who were expecting the necessary app for their not so well designed headphones. Wasted money for the last time with them. Will find a proper replacement and despise their money grabbing scams. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-12-23* Can’t find any networks. ### 1/5 — No support for Apple Music *2019-05-08, version 4.84.181121* We love the Rsb-14 and we’re excited to set it up wirelessly through our network. After hours of research because we couldn’t figure it out we learned Klipsch and Play-Fi don’t support Apple Music! So myself and my family are expected to switch to Spotify or something else. Don’t think so. Packaging it all up tomorrow and returning it. Back to the drawing board for us. Shame! Very disappointing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — All day good! *2020-04-21* Out ### 5/5 — Yes *2020-01-04* Yes ### 5/5 — Klipsch App works great *2019-06-27, version 4.84.181121* I have a Klipsch Multi room system and this App controls it perfectly. If you also download the Amazon Alexa App then you can also listen to your Amazon Music through your system. ### 5/5 — Tricky but good *2019-03-03* So this app definitely takes some time to figure out but once you get it down, it’s pretty amazing. I finally figured out how to hook my turntable to my sound bar and broadcast my records through every room in my house. Not to mention the endless streaming options like Spotify connect, amazon music, and iheart radio. The problem is that there really should be better instructions to help you set all this up. ### 5/5 — Finally an app for all my klipsch devices *2016-12-02, version 3.61.9726* Just got my rw-1 and I will be using it with my amazon echo dot ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2023-04-20, version 8.21.1* I’ve been using the Klipsch Stream app for several years now, and the updates seem to be hit and miss. For the most part it works well and provides excellent functionality for streaming music to multiple devices. I have tested it with multiple versions on multiple devices for comparison. I have various Stream compatible Klipsch Speakers, multiple Gates, and multiple PowerGates. It does has its pros and cons. This review is as of version 8.21.1, and I have found version 4.84.181121 to be generally most stable, but lacks some of the new features. All Klipsch devices have the latest firmware updates (which is required for the updated app versions). Pros: -Streams to multiple devices seamlessly most of the time. I have seven, including using a Stereo Pair. -Stereo Pair allows you to group two devices together as one with a Left and Right mode for each -Offers many streaming services, including XM, Amazon, and the most popular streaming services -Sound quality is great even in standard mode -Extremely flexible -Supports multiple zones -Can control individual device volume -Can control most functions from multiple devices -Latest update eliminates lag between songs allowing you to play continuous mixes without interruptions -Can stream high quality in Critical Listening mode (however it is limited to streaming to only one device in this mode) -Supports Surround Sound mode, but I haven’t tested it -Supports setting up Speaker Groups Cons: -Will not allow you to select streaming from a Bluetooth connected source -Streaming from input sources is limited to 5 devices, and is flaky in behavior -Latest update frequently lists wrong song (but correct song length) when streaming all tracks from music server. However, if you view it from another device with a previous version of the app it displays the correct song -Cuts out occasionally, but usually picks back up where it leaves off. This behavior seems to vary in frequency between the various versions -Older versions were more intuitive and easier to use. -Sometimes connects devices in a distorted mode. I have to disconnect and reconnect the device to correct. Overall I’ve been happy with the app and features, and because of this I am willing to put up with the quirks in the various versions and rate it at 4 stars overall. Will keep updating review when new versions are released. ### 4/5 — Still needs work as of Oct 2019 *2020-01-04* Last update helped when it came to recognizing the device but still needs improvement. Once this is fixed and the app finds my klipsch speaker it will be 5 stars. I use Spotify ### 4/5 — Last update made it better *2019-01-16* The app used to not work and take a series of closing it out and reopening before it would stream internet radio. Now it seems to be fixed, so I’m giving it 4 stars. ### 3/5 — Search function for Amazon Music doesn’t work. *2022-08-14* The inability to search Amazon Music makes the app’s utility very limited. ### 3/5 — Please add TuneIn Radio *2020-06-04, version 6.00.200526* A lot of great internet based radio stations are on TuneIn Radio. Please consider adding this as a music service. Thank you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
