### 1/5 — Freeplay live

*2025-07-12, version 1.1.0*

I can’t connect so with the speaker

### 1/5 — NO SUPPORT

*2024-12-23, version 1.1.0*

Potentially the best, but they abandoned it... seems

### 1/5 — App inutile

*2024-09-07, version 1.1.0*

Sur le papier c’était bien mais ça ne fonctionne pas.  L’application trouve bien l’enceinte mais impossible d’accéder à la table de mixage, du coup impossible de relier deux enceintes.
Applications inutiles pour l’instant en espérant une MAJ bientôt ??

### 2/5 — Failure

*2024-06-03, version 1.1.0*

App has stopped working with speaker and devices after latest iOS update.

### 1/5 — Total joke of an app

*2024-05-03, version 1.1.0*

I connected to my Mackie speakers with my iPhone, played music to make sure I was connected and then opened this Freeplay App and it just spun nonstop trying to connect. NEVER did. Again my phone was already connected to the speakers so the app not connecting is absolutely ridiculous. This app is GARBAGE. Do better Mackie, you’re an embarrassment

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-07-12, version 1.1.0*

Took this to a small gathering and it wouldn’t connect to my iPhone or my iPad. Left me in a lurch. It worked a grand total of 3 times. I’ve updated the software and still nothing.This is crap. Save your money.

### 1/5 — Good idea - if it worked properly..

*2023-05-04, version 1.1.0*

As everyone else says.. the app doesn’t connect or stay connected well at all… I have been pro Mackie for many years but this is unacceptable… it’d be great if they could fix it 🤞😅🎸

### 1/5 — Won’t connect to Freeplay Live

*2023-04-19, version 1.1.0*

Used to work. No longer connects.

### 3/5 — Enfin la mise à jour

*2023-02-13, version 1.1.0*

Cette mise à jour est incomplète, Elle ne permet toujours pas de pouvoir associer les 2 enceintes entre elle sous IOS et c’est bien dommage… mais que font les développeurs

### 4/5 — Good with some small problems

*2023-01-05, version 1.1.0*

The App worked Fine for me til the Update in Winter 2022, but as gar as i reset the freeplay box and delete the olé bluetooth Connection in my Smartphone and give her an hour the Bluetooth connection worked fine again. Took me some hours but at the end it’s fine.
