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.
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!

Really bad at managing devices
I got over it when it was tedious and required several restarts to bring my devices online in the first place, but the latest update *forced* me to update devices which are already working... And now it can't find them because apparently it loaded bad firmware? They no longer show up in Spotify either. The Play Fi team apparently needs some capable developers.

Apple Music not working
Amazon music works.
Apple Music not working, throws file format unsupported error.

Always stuttering and stopping
It seems that without updates the speakers are always giving issues. They keep pausing the music and stopping.
I have troubleshooted and the issue is not my wifi it is with the speaker. Usually after an update the problem goes away, but the issue seems to be that updates are always late!
I cannot depend on your speakers at all. I may have to switch to Sonos.

Works well has a few issues
It works well but has a few issues with Spotify. Can’t use any of the playback controls like the equalizer and the cross fade function. AIRPLAY just doesn’t work, skips 3 seconds out of every 30.
Update not so “up”
I just recently updated my phorus speakers and the app (Jun 3 ‘20). The system worked great before the update, but since updating, there are constant “skips” or momentary loss of signal. Funny because the update was to enhance the streaming of music within the app. It’s not my system either, like I said it worked great before and also my speakers work seamlessly when I use airplay. Please fix the update or send out a re-update of the previous app which worked great.

Please fix outages and delay
Spind is ok. App needs evolution to come close to nowadays standards. I am afraid Play-Fi is being phased out.
Versatile and easy
Phorus is Uber-compatible with all kinds of music apps and works well with Alexa. It is just so easy to use!
Unreliable
The app just isn’t that stable or easy to set up and then it just stops working. Should be more intuitive
Good but needs improvement
This app works relatively well, reliable, but the menu is not intuitive.and difficult to get back to radio favorite stations.
Used to work...now it doesn’t.
This app doesn’t work with the latest version of iOS, and may not work at all besides. I used to be able to play music from my DNLA server and my iPhone, but now all I can do is browse my library, because I get ‘this file is unsupported’ errors all day long.
Just awesome.
The new app update is just amazing..
Poor 'update'
Terrible 'update' a couple weeks ago. I see why market share is so small if they can push such a difficult to navigate app. Makes me want to return all 9 speakers. Please fix this!
Current version=terrible
Please fix the bugs. I can't listen to it since I was forced to update new version without thinking that I'm listening to a faraway radio station or a scratched up LP
Latest update problems
With update can't get more than two devices PR1s and PS1s working at a time. Also some device not working at all. Please fix!
Brilliant
Simple Setup + Fantastic Features + Awesome Audio = Completely Captivated Customer
