Lowsy

One of the worst app i have ever used Since the day I bought this speaker about 6 years ago till now I have not been able to hook up this peaker smoothly. I have since bought an Amazon Echo and is happy. The Phorus is just a very large paper weight.

Garbage

This app is absolutely useless

Terrible app

I wish they would stop “updating” this app because the updates don’t fix any of the issues, and only mean that you need to spend the next hour or two manually resetting every device (because the updates don’t actually get pushed to the devices).

Terrible, useless app.

Garbage, useless

This crappy app (and their tinny-sounding, ridiculously-overpriced speakers) don’t work. Buy a song from Apple? Phorus cant play it. DUMB.

Support non-existent

I used this app to play Amazon music and Pandora with their PR5 receiver. Was working well until the last firmware update. Now I can’t connect, nor can I reset the receiver to a factory state again. It is just bricked. Tried to contact Phorus support multiple times without hearing anything back. Frustrating!
