New radio
My old Ridgid radio lasted a month display didn’t work now they replaced it with this new one I have and it doesn’t work with the app very annoying and the new radio has no equalizer options
Don’t.
You literally can not do anything with this waste of storage space.
0 stars if I could
Can’t change frequency. Useless
Nice feature
Nice features to program new radio and to control from your phone. One issue I found is as soon as I tried to set up and use reminders the app kept crashing. IT would not allow me back into those settings after. Had to delete the app and reinstall. Reminders not working
Hard to rate the app...
Either the app will not allow me to connect to my iPhone 8 via Bluetooth or I have a brand new dud radio. Connected once, but hasn’t since. As such I cannot give it anything more than a 3 as the app appears to be pretty well laid out.
Connects but won’t work without manual connection.
I can connect to the Control device automatically via the app. But I have to go to Bluetooth setting on my phone and manually connect to the radio as well. Then I can play music. Kind of counterintuitive.
Works great
I love this app with the radio works really well plus your battery get changed is a plus
Not updated for the last several years
July 2020 - I’ve had this radio for several years. A couple years ago was the last update that I can find, and it appears they’ve decided to no longer support or update this app. It’s mostly non-useable. I can pair the app to my iPhone 11 Max Pro, but that’s about it. Input selector, volume control, all else just don’t work at all.
Not the level of professionalism I expect from Ridgid, but oh well.
Don’t download unless you want frustration.

Only kinda works
This app will control the radio functions, but will not let you stream from your phone via Bluetooth. You can only stream with the aux cord, and if the have a newer model iPhone, there isn’t one. So you’re out of luck.
Not working with iPhone
What gives? This app is not working with my iPhone 7. It shows connected but no function work. Can’t change volume or tune radio.
Meh
Works as described , the first time the app is downloaded,yes I can still stream . but every time I want to use “ control feature “ it won’t connect or even find rigid CRTL . If it’s a bug fix it . Or this radio and app will end up going into the trash .
Anglais seulement 😟
Fonctionne très bien 👍. Mes seulement en anglais 😟. Option français s'il vous plaît 😉
Time for an Update
Great product, I love my RIDGID radio, comparable price to other quality radios except this one has some use for utilities that really give me more bang for my buck. With today’s technology advancing, I assume it would be pretty easy to add a microphone function to the app so I can use my RIDGID radio as a loudspeaker for giving my crew instructions during briefing and maybe do a little karaoke and some fun stuff with it also!
I think it would be cool if I had a rigid radio that was also a car battery jumper, and a stationary LED light fixture!

Nice in theory
This app is well put together with multiple tabs for navigation. Swiping will also bring up the menu for faster navigation, particularly useful on the larger screen iPhone models.
One issue with the app, which seems like it would be a very useful feature on the job site, is the inadequacy of the voice messages portion recording a message for PA playback causes the app to crash, either when pressing the mic button early, or letting the recording complete.
One nice feature would be allowing a longer message to be recorded, as right now (even if it worked) you can only record a maximum of ten seconds. This could be circumvented by either allowing a direct voice over without recording, or utilizing a longer recording option.
All that being said, it would be a great app if the announcement feature was better implemented.

Great app, but crashes on audio recordings
I just recently bought the Ridgid jobsite radio. I have 3 different jobsite radios, but decided to try this one because I recently bought a Ridgid hammer drill set. The first thing I tried once I opened this app was the audio recording. As soon as I went to play the recording I just made, the app crashed immediately. I tried a few more times with the same result. The app says there was a fix to this problem in April, but it's not working for me. Hopefully this will be addressed. Otherwise this is a great app, unique and the only jobsite radio I know of with something like this.

Radio won't connect to Bluetooth: App frozen
My new Bluetooth radio stopped working with Bluetooth and the app is frozen on one radio station. I will update my review if these issues get resolved. Loved this radio for about three weeks before it stopped connecting. I even liked the app. I will give a better rating when this app is fixed.
Crashes
Keeps crashing when using Bluetooth to use as a speaker

Fantastic compliment to Ridgid's new jobsite radio! Easy to set up and use instantly from any location. New jobsite radio is built more durable then their original beauty, insuring many years of productive service on project sites!
Awesome
This app isn't a necessity for the radio but it allows you completely control the radio remotely. I highly recommend the app for its simplicity and ease of use.
