Doesn't play music

It used to play music now it doesn't. I don't care about controlling the light it's supposed to be a SPEAKER.

No music ?

The whole point I got this bulb vs other smart bulbs was for the music feature.. I even went out of my way I got Apple Music thinking it would be more compatible and nothing. Not sure what I could be doing wrong.

TERRIBLE

Bought the PLAYBULB and the app will not allow playback of music via Bluetooth now because the developers can’t be bothered. Instead, they create new PLAYBULBs and stop supporting their older ones. Why on earth would I buy another PLAYBULB when you have done what you have with the first one?!

Update for iPhone 7 and onward needed!

Playbulb original chrome

Please update for the iPhone 7! I can’t use it again as it doesn’t appear to be compatible with my new phone.

Please update for the newer iPhones!

Losing repeat buyers by not supporting older models

I would love to invest in other Playbulbs but it concerns me that once newer models come out the older ones are no longer supported.
Update this app to work with newer iPhones !!!! Was temperamental at best with Iphone 5, now it's no better than a normal bulb!
