Doesn’t work with thump sub go

Works ok with my 2 x thump go tops but not with the sub

Does not connect to 215XT in Nov 25

Two brand new Thump 215XT speakers up and running and successfully linked and with BT connection to iPhone 16e running ios 18.7.1. But the app will bot connect to either speaker. In 2025 this is unacceptable.

Nice app

Just got the Thump go. So downloaded the app. Nice to see features that can help with setting while not next to the speaker. In an update I would like to see a better eq , roll off some of the Mids (10 o’clock) and a reverb to channel 1. It can be a firmware update to the go as well.

App Won’t Connect. Works fine on Android.

Works as intended. Like mentioned before, make sure the app has Bluetooth enabled in your phone settings or the app won’t connect.

Horrible sound

it’s loud muffled and overbassed. Full eq might help

Does not connect

The app just won’t connect to thump go 8. Brand new speaker that is connected to the Bluetooth fine and it won’t connect to the app

Just tap the screen after connecting…

The app works fine. After you confirm your connected to Bluetooth in settings to your speaker, open this app, on startup, tap the screen and it’ll start up normally… that’s been my experience. It does still say searching, I just tap the screen and it’ll start moves on… great… it does what it’s supposed to do after that…

Pesima e inutil aplicacion

Poseo 4 thumpgo de los cuales son muy buenos para cubrir eventos pequenos al aire libre, sin embargo la app es una porqueria nunca conecto mis parlantes. Esta aplicacion no sirve.

App Bug

Just Downloaded the app, connected with blue tooth but for whatever reason the app is not working on my phone, the Mackie thump Go is a great speaker, just wish they can fix whatever bug that’s causing this

App doesn’t connect

I was never able to connect it properly to my iPhone after several attempts.

Useless

Won’t even connect to the speaker. Very poor, Mackie.

Needs better documentation

Had the speaker for just over a year, had no luck with the app for a few. Decided to give it another shot. Speaker was connected via BT and working. Installed the app, app was not able to detect the speaker. Uninstalled the app, removed the spkr from BT. Added the speaker on BT, installed the software again, still no good. Decided to power off and on the phone. Now connected. I will test at home, still dont trust the functionality of the app on a paid gig.

Works perfect

The app + speaker is great. I downloaded the app, allowed it to connect to Bluetooth and was instantly able to control the speaker.

I use it in a basketball gym and the app works from anywhere inside the space.

Connection

Will not connect to the mackie thump go. Stays on connecting to speaker.

Unstable

Never connects properly.

Worst application

No connect or sometimes

App won’t connect

As with legion of frustrated comments here I can pair my iPhone 14 Pro Max to speaker but the app won’t connect

Very poor...

Doesn’t connect at all..!! Very disappointing..😡

Pains me to say

Initially, I was a huge advocate of Mackie products because they seem to work favorably well and we’re not bank busters, but when I got to the Mackey Gump, my opinion changed dramatically. First will address the defects in my Mackie Thump Go. Originally purchased in late December. It was only recently that I was able to set it up because Mackie does not provide you with any documentation instruction manuals or anything like that. They are online. If you’re online they can be downloaded if you’re able to download and of course you can print if you have a printer. I don’t have a printer. My Internet is spotty at best and I couldn’t download them because I’m operating on the Apple iOS. When I set it up today using My also recently purchased Mackie pro effects 10 and played the first chord of my guitar. It sounded as if the whole thing was going to come apart. There was obviously something wrong with the speaker it rattled, and was only producing maybe a quarter of the value that one would expect, fortunately the retailer I purchased it from was very kind and swapped it out. And I started searching for all the manuals that are referenced in the main manual, which I can only read online and lo and behold. There’s several of them. The one that I still haven’t found is the one for this ridiculous app in the main manual it makes reference to the fact that the, Thump Connect 2 is an intricate part of the thump go and is a necessity. If you want to use it, you need to use the Thump Connect 2 reference guide they say this is if you know it’s right there in front of you it’s not anywhere I looked on the webpage. I looked on this general Internet, nothing.Maybe I’m old maybe I’m crotchety, but this kind of customer service just pisses me off and I will not be doing business with Maggie again in the future so let mine pay your lesson. Don’t even bother with Mackie. It’s not worth the headache and a is going to treat you that way they’re not worth dealing with.

Check settings

If you can’t get the app to work check that 1) in apple settings for the app, it is allowed to use bluetooth. You might have your phone itself connected to the speaker to play music, but that does not mean the app is allowed to use bluetooth. 2) Then pair the speaker with your phone by pressing and holding the “pair” button at the back of the speaker for 5+ seconds. Once the phone is connected to the speaker then 3) start the app.

The app doesn’t do anything special but it’s useful for controlling the volume from your pocket.
