Update?!?!

Can’t install due to “developer needs to update to iOS 11”

Outdated

Loved my Philips Dock Station but they won't update the app. Very unhappy with Philips because of this.

Update needed.

Seems to be an issue with this app
And it needing an update to iOS 11. What’s going on? Why is this taking so long??

Not updated

Was a great app, sadly not updated anymore

No More Phillips Products

I have a docking station I bought years ago. I was pleased with its’ performance but now the app is outdated and there is no update available.

Please fix the app!

I’m giving a one star rating because Phillips does not seem to want to support its products. This will be the last time I ever buy a Phillips product. Why would anyone invest in a speaker that one can no longer use with their phone after such a short amount of time? For anyone looking for a good speaker for your iPhone do not buy from Phillips.

Terrible update

It's not working now at all

Please update this app!

I would love to keep using this app. Works great.

IPhone 4 Not Compatible with this accessory

Thanks for wasting my money Philips. As a professional IT guy, I cannot get an iPhone4 or 6 with adapter to work with this dock station! Either you are a terrible tech company or you purposefully made it so I would HAVE to buy another product. Never buying another Philips product again.

so disppointing!

can no more use my iPhone6 with 30 pin converter with this old speaker

Terrible update.

Before, I could actually sync the time to my AS111 over Bluetooth. Not only does it no longer work, the option to connect to the dock within the app to sync it is gone now. It doesn't even read that it's connected via Bluetooth to the speaker from the app so they don't communicate. Now I have a dock that I paid all that money for way back when, and can't put the correct time on it because Phillips hires horrible app designers to make their apps. Absolutely unacceptable. Never buying Phillips again.

Speaker dock useless with iPhone 5.

Had a glitch a few months ago with streaming music, but resolved the issue. Now I am unable to find a fix to enable me to listen to anything using my iPhone 5 and my original speaker dock. Very disappointing.

Useless with iPhone 5 and 6

Does not support apples 30 pin to lightning adapter. Apparently they expect you to upgrade your iPhone and then upgrade to a newer speaker.

Very pleased after my update

Read various reviews regarding this app of which most appeared quite negative. Was very apprehensive about updating my iPhone 4 and iPad. Updated my phone's operating system first. Works wonderfully for me. The music options are what are most important for me. I dock more often now and still continue to thoroughly enjoy the wide variety of internet stations available to enjoy.

Bring back the old backgrounds!

I really valued and enjoyed this app before the latest version update. I enjoyed the photo backgrounds that correlated to the current weather conditions and time of day, all day and all night long. It was really lovely. Now, I can only use social media or my own photo slideshow. That might sound like a good idea, but I'd rather have a dimly glowing moon, clouds, or rain on my nightstand, not pictures of my family and friends cycling through all night. I don't even use the app anymore after this update; I really miss the previous version and can't find a suitable substitute.

What were they thinking?

The previous version of DockStudio had its bugs, notably a tendency to lose the <pause> option when changing playlists. There was cludgy workaround—restart the app—but it *was* annothing. This version solves that—by eliminating playlists altogether. Bad idea. Here's some shortcomings of the new version.

1) lack of dimmer control so the screen isn't too bright for the dark adapted eye.
2) no alarm clock
3) no access to downloaded mp3's
4) inaccurate location and weather data. My DockStudio thinks I live in another town. I'm glad I don't, since the temperature there is, apparently, always -1° F. When I try to type in the name of my own town, DockStudio says I'm not on the network. It lies.
5) bizarre defauls. I mean, Centigrade temperatures and 24 hour clocks?
6) sleep timer that won't run in the background. Check the weather and the timer conks out. OK, this was a problem with the earlier version, too, but that don't make it right.

The newly added features, e.g. the slide show, aren't of any use to me.

In summary, a tolerable app has been transformed into a useless app.

Horrible update

We used the DockStudio every night as a way to help our children go to sleep. They removed the ability to select songs, such as lullabies, from our own playlist, and now we can only use their radio application which is not suitable at all. They also got rid of the sleep timer which was a terrific function. So, basically this update removed the main two things we used the app for. We have now deleted it and will have to use more than one app to replace it -- Apple's own music app and timer app, neither of which have a built in dimmer function. At any rate, this update turned one of our very favorite and definitely most used app into something completely useless to us. The definition of FAIL, for sure. Wish I could check 0 stars.

Alarm?

Okay then. This used to be a great alarm clock app with the speaker dock. I would have given the last version a four star because it was a great app I would have like it better if it could make the screen darker even with the backlight switch activated so it is dim. With this latest version I don't even think it is an alarm system anymore. All it does is how you pictures in a slideshow and stuff like that. It is a dumb app now that it is no longer an alarm system. I am definitely going to uninstall this app within the next week if I don't get help with this problem soon. I am one of the first reviewers so I know that the pop makers or somebody will read this review. I am very unhappy with the update. What happened with the alarm clock feature? I do like the dock though.

Love my dock, hate this app

It's basically a watered down version of the music and the clock app combined into this terrible piece of crap. The pictures on here show that you can customize your background and add your own pictures. You can't. You can only choose between a metallic look and a black look. The alarm clock doesn't work at all because your iPod has to be dim the whole time so unless you want to constantly be tapping the iPod screen to keep it from locking, the alarm is useless. Don't get this app. It's the crappy version of the perfect music & clock apps. The only reason I downloaded it was so my dock would stop asking me to download it every time I put my iPod on it.

Needs iOS update!! No sound!! 😞

I've been super pleased with my little Philips speaker dock until today when I updated my 4th gen iPod to iOS6. I no longer have any sound & it acts only as a charger now as another reviewer recently posted.

Granted the app is simple at best I do like the bass booster feature selection which gives my speaker dock a great sound. You can definitely tell a difference without it. The app has lots of potential but it definitely needs some updates & fixes.
