It just stays on the splash screen. Dumb. ### 1/5 — BlowsBussloadsofHobos *2025-10-31* The thing looks nice and installs somewhat easily - however there's no actual instructions to tell you what the blue remote or the red Acc wire goes to. No worries. The main issue is the app doesn't work. It doesn't load on the phone. Just sits there on the spin waiting but never loads up. I can't play anything without the app! ### 1/5 — Nothing happens *2025-09-22, version 1.0* Nothing happens in this app ### 1/5 — Pyle of Sh *2025-06-30* Installed app to operate my pyle audio boombox the screen comes up with no options, but disconnect button when hit shows other Bluetooth devices that are not the pile of Sh ### 1/5 — Apples fault *2023-08-21* Apple should control the applications before allowing anyone put any garbage on the App Store. Anyone can put a picture with a logo there and make other people waist their time. ### 1/5 — The 1 stars are correct, it’s useless *2023-07-06* Had to see for myself. Installed the app and the screen was basically blank. Clicked on the disconnect button on the too right and it tried to list my devices. My Bose showed up, my Pyle did not. Uninstalled the app. ### 5/5 — What is this? *2023-06-27* This app is so amazing!!! What a great way to program your stuff. So many options added to make your purchase no regrets. Im so amazed they coupd do so much with a app! Cant believe every company dont make an app like this ### 1/5 — At best it doesn’t work. At worst it’s fraudulent. *2023-04-27* Nothing happens when you open this app. It opens, and that’s it. Those cool screen shots? You don’t see them. I’d imagine those are mock-ups for what they wanted the app to do. The amplifier this was meant to control is also poorly designed, and the manual is useless. Dime store stuff. ### 1/5 — Garbage!!! *2023-01-07, version 1.0* Don’t use it! ## Frequently asked questions about PyleAudio ### What can this app do?
