Application can’t see my speaker. ### 1/5 — Terrible, Completely Broken *2022-11-06, version 1.0* No connection. Deleted and re-downloaded app. iPhone connects to the speaker but the app no longer finds it, so I have no control over the settings. ### 1/5 — Does not connect on iOS 16 *2022-11-02, version 1.0* The app can not find the speaker on iOS 16. PLEASE. FIX. ### 1/5 — Free play live *2022-10-29, version 1.0* O app não reconhece mais, a caixinha free play live ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS16 *2022-10-26, version 1.0* After the update for iOS 16 the app doesn’t connect to the speaker. There should be an update for the app otherwise you can’t use it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 16 *2022-10-15, version 1.0* Pleaseeeeeee fix!!! I have 2 Freeplay Live speakers that I now can’t control ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work with iOS 16.0.2 *2022-10-10, version 1.0* You need to fix this asap! I almost had to cancel a gig because the app won’t open with this new iOS update. Thank god my wife hasn’t updated her phone yet and I was able to open it with her phone and not lose out on money! Please fix this this week!!! ### 1/5 — iOS 16 funktioniert nicht mit der App !!! Bitte daran arbeiten ! *2022-10-01, version 1.0* Bitte Hilfe ### 1/5 — Keine Verbindung von App zu Speaker *2022-09-30, version 1.0* Die App verbindet sich nicht mit dem Speaker. Seit ich iOS 16 auf dem Handy installiert habe, funktioniert nichts mehr! Und auch mit dem alten Betriebssystem gab es immer wieder Verbindungsprobleme. Das sollte bitte schnellstens behoben werden!! ### 1/5 — iOs 16 keine Verbindung *2022-09-13, version 1.0* Mit iOS 16 baut die App keine Verbindung mehr zum Gerät auf….. bitte fixen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ?? ### 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. ### 1/5 — Besoin d’une mise à jour *2022-11-22, version 1.0* Ne se connecte plus !!!! Besoin d’une mise autour s’il vous plaît ! Utilisation pour mon travail. Les boules d’avoir mis autant d’argent pour être bloquée à cause des applications. ### 1/5 — Need a fast update! *2022-11-11, version 1.0* Doesn’t connect on iOS 16! Please fix it as quickly as possible! ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2022-11-11, version 1.0* After recent iOS update, app doesn’t connect to the device. It’s gets stuck on “searching for speaker “ page. This is really terrible for a brand like mackie ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nickel *2020-02-06, version 1.0* App marche très bien et le rendue est bleuffant, merci mackie ! ### 5/5 — Really good app, but with some updates could make it excellent!! *2018-12-08, version 1.0* awesome app for sure, I use it with my Mackie free play Live. But it would be awesome if you guys could make the power status more visible! So we can take a better eye on the battery life time. Another thing that would be great is, a digital TUNE for chord instruments! Since we’re plugged in, it would be very easy to tune up our chord instruments such as guitar, bass, Ukulele, etc etc Thank you guys ### 5/5 — First Looks = Huge Improvement *2018-05-24, version 1.0* At first crack playing with the demo mode this is way better than the previous software. One thing that I really like is the ability to give each channel, including the Bluetooth, a different name! Also I can name the primary and secondary unit separately should I want to link to free place together. Again making this super easy if I hand off my phone to a friend and have them EQ and adjust reverb out in the crowd. Another big win is being able to see the queue for a channel I am on at the same time I am using the feeder. Also having two different screen views weather in portrait or landscape mode with my phone is just beautiful. I can’t wait to install this on my iPad and see how it looks that way as well. If the connection is anywhere near as salad with the free play that is coming up as it is with Mackie’s BST model Thumps this will be another game changing product. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Verbindungsprobleme *2022-12-17, version 1.1.0* Das Update hilft bei den Verbindungsproblemen…. ### 4/5 — Waiting for ios16 connectivity *2022-11-01, version 1.0* This app worked fantastic until I updated to iOS 16. Now it doesn’t work at all….. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Ne fonctionne plus *2022-11-10, version 1.0* L application free play Connect ne fonctionne plus depuis la mise à jour de l iOS 16 sur ipad. ### 3/5 — It’s great when it connects *2021-07-29, version 1.0* App is super simple and easy for anyone to use, but the app sometimes does not connect to my devices. Especially my iPad ### 3/5 — No longer working *2020-09-13, version 1.0* Device is no longer connecting to the app 😢 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
