I bought them at an Estate Sale. They were a steal. They work, the play whatever my phone aims at them. Why can’t I make them do Stereo. Why are your instructions to get the speakers into Stereo mode so terrible? I’ve tried several times to make them be something other than a single speaker. NOTHING WORKS! I have two speakers and I can only use one at a time. I can’t even get them to play in dual mode, stereo or spatial. You guys need to get to work and m make your good speakers, great. I do not recommend your stuff. I push JBL and others. Yours, not at all. I worked in retail. ### 2/5 — Better than a stick in the eye *2025-12-03* I constantly have to force quit the thing and the sliders are really twitchy so it’s impossible to do fine adjustments. It’s better than nothing but it’s clear Oontz has no intention of continuing to support their products (4 years no updates) so when I buy more, it’s going to be something else, if for no other reason than eventually this will just get delisted when they’re too far behind in iOS versions. ### 2/5 — Does not support OontZ Curve *2025-04-27, version 1.0.9228* I’m sure this works fine in supported devices, but how can you not even recognize older ones (even if all features might not be available) ### 4/5 — Never knew oontz had an app for there speakers *2025-04-12, version 1.0.9228* Comes in handy surround mode works when it wanna works tho and the eq ### 1/5 — Will not find the device *2024-12-28, version 1.0.9228* Can to my angle 3.. There is no way to contact the developer for help ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-07-23, version 1.0.9228* Unable to connect through app. Speaker is connected. Sound is good. App is useless. ### 1/5 — App worked last summer - broken this summer *2024-06-20* I got a new speaker for the pool last year and the app worked to change the equalizer functions. Pull the speaker out of storage for the season and not only does it say my speaker (which worked last year) isn’t supported, it looks like the company just stopped updating it all together. Now the speaker bass is stuck on super low because the kids messed with it last summer. ### 2/5 — App usage *2024-03-31, version 1.0.9228* The app doesn’t always open to adjust settings but as long as both speakers connect I’m ok but would like to be able to use the features on the app ### 1/5 — Unable to EQ *2024-03-01, version 1.0.9228* Not able to access the eq bass and treble controls. Not a big deal you say? I’m using as a shower radio, I’m up before the wife, In order to hear the music over the shower I have to turn it up a bit, bass is thumping like a teenager driving around with a sub. Controls are in the app but keeps telling me to select a speaker then defaults to the Alexa app. ### 1/5 — Junk *2023-11-27, version 1.0.9228* App and device will not connect. No supprt ### 1/5 — Does work *2023-11-25, version 1.0.9228* The app does work at all ### 1/5 — Worthless *2023-11-24, version 1.0.9228* Breaks constantly, worst experience I have ever had with a blue tooth system. How haven’t these people been sued into oblivion for this trash yet? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work! *2023-11-21, version 1.0.9228* It doesn’t even find my speaker! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2023-10-12, version 1.0.9228* When connecting a speaker this app asks you to sign up / sign in for Alexa, if you decline it crashes. It might work if you want Alexa listening to you, but I’m good, I’ll just delete the app. ### 1/5 — Worthless!!! *2023-10-03, version 1.0.9228* App only works occasionally. Have to delete and reload every day. Still works rarely!!! Do not waste your time!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-08-12* Doesn’t recogognise my angle3 ultra. Embedded links in the app, meant to help, link to error 404. Doesn’t appear to be a way update firmware via iOS ( iPad or iPhone ). Doesn’t appear to be a way to update firmware via macOS. The speakers are good, especially for children, but are forced into obsolescence in some ways because the app won’t work. Firmware updates shouldn’t require windows only. ### 1/5 — App has not been updated in 2 years. *2023-08-09, version 1.0.9228* It works ok for iPhone but it doesn’t even work on my husbands android. You have to have the app to use Alexa capabilities as it won’t work through Alexa itself. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Connect *2025-11-29, version 1.0.9228* Nice idea I guess but doesn’t find my speaker, tried suggestions from other reviews. Deleting app now. ### 1/5 — App no longer finds my Oontz A3S *2025-10-02, version 1.0.9228* The title says it best. It used to work about 25% of the time, usually requiring multiple attempts. This ought to work, but doesn’t. Zero stars if I could from this customer. ### 1/5 — App stopped working *2025-09-18, version 1.0.9228* The speakers I have work. The app used to work but now everything says “feature unsupported” and the app does nothing ### 1/5 — Sound ok but app doesn’t connect *2025-09-04, version 1.0.9228* These little speakers sound OK and they in stereo without too much trouble. However, the app could never find them despite having spent half an hour trying to get the app to find them ### 1/5 — App doesn’t recognize speakers *2025-06-30, version 1.0.9228* Speakers are nice, app is worthless. Doesn’t connect. ### 1/5 — Nope *2025-06-29, version 1.0.9228* Not useful. Could not find speakers. Web page was broken ### 1/5 — Useless app hasn’t been updated *2025-06-10, version 1.0.9228* This app hasn’t been updated in YEARS. Absolutely zero support from OontZ. I will never buy another product from them again. ### 1/5 — Just horrible *2025-06-09, version 1.0.9228* This needs a full rewrite, and a significant user experience redesign. Honestly, had I known had bad this app was, I wouldn’t have bought the speakers. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-04-28* Very bare functionality for features you can use right on the speakers themselves. You have to open the nav to access each feature which is a poor user experience. Mine couldn’t even pick up the slave speaker so it was unusable so I deleted it. Useless “home” screen on top of everything else. Great speakers though. ### 1/5 — No connectable device found *2025-04-16, version 1.0.9228* Please add support for the OontZ Angle 3! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great, simple app *2025-01-08* All the links do in fact work if you “click” on the appropriate section. I found the app to be very helpful and easy to use and had everything in it that I needed. ### 5/5 — Increíble sonido! *2024-07-11* Me encanta la calidad de sonido y la manera de conectar en stereo las bocinas. La calidad de los materiales es súper buena y el peso me ayuda a llevarla a todos lados. ### 5/5 — took 5 minutes to figure out, works great so far *2023-12-15, version 1.0.9228* took 5 minutes to figure out, works great so far and it’s free ### 5/5 — App works great (read if you are having trouble connecting) *2023-07-14* The app works great, and has a simple enough UI for most people to understand with no experience. If your speaker isn’t showing up in the app, try going to your Bluetooth settings and connecting from there first,after that initial connection, it should pop up in the app. Any time you turn it on, and you can activate your surroundsound connection or dual connection by pressing the Bluetooth button on both your speakers. ### 5/5 — Great App? Why all the complaining? *2023-06-23, version 1.0.9228* Game changer! These speakers are great and the dual parring is great as well, but to connect more than 2 the app makes it a breeze! Recommend 100% ### 5/5 — Works great for OontZ angle 3 ultra *2023-05-31, version 1.0.9228* Nice eq I haven’t tried dual mode or surround but I like the eq and the app in general ### 5/5 — Great *2023-05-31, version 1.0.9228* Works for what it is meant for. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly, sounds great!! *2023-01-17* I was definitely skeptical after reading some of the bad reviews. But I read and followed all the instructions and was able to easily connect and pair two speakers and can say these things are pretty amazing!! You can’t beat this quality for the price!!! ### 5/5 — Old reviews? *2022-07-04* I suspect that a lot of these terrible reviews are for an older version. The app works perfectly for me and adds a lot of functionality to my Angle 3 Pros. I’m glad I gave it a chance. ### 5/5 — Effortless *2022-06-08, version 1.0.9228* Recognized my speakers immediately, synced automatically and works perfectly. Good to go. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
