### 1/5 — No update in 7 years?

*2023-04-16, version 2.1*

Is that for real?

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-03-30*

This app it is not working at all. I meep trying and nothing. 
I hope you can do something about it. Thanks

### 1/5 — Dead in the water

*2023-03-26*

Title should tell you all you need to know about the app.

### 1/5 — Unfortunate

*2022-11-05*

What are you supposed yo do when you download the app and it won’t open?  Kinda hard to use, don’t you think? Off to better things.

### 1/5 — Terrible app for decent speakers

*2021-03-22*

It’s unfortunate how tied to apps devices are nowadays because clearly all the funding went into the speaker development and not the app. This app after the update won’t even let me continue past the “Connect” pop up. Now I have a speaker that was supposed to be for Spotify streaming only work via Bluetooth. It’s unfortunate but the app makes the speaker nearly unusable. So far most RIVA speakers I’ve used sound great but if connecting is this inconvenient, I would say take your money elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2020-09-23, version 2.1*

Won’t connect to either of the 2 Riva S speakers I have!

### 1/5 — Lame app

*2019-03-11, version 2.1*

The app is of any use really .. the only thing that would be useful is an equaliser to get more clarity when listening to certain music or radio ! But sadly not there

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-09-27*

This app worked fine in the original version- then got buggy- would only work if I was listening to iTunes- new version does not link to my RIVA speaker.    Never.

### 2/5 — Slow to connect

*2017-11-17, version 2.1*

App takes forever to connect with RIVA device. Needs an update.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-01-06*

Works how it is suppose to tells me things I need to know. I just wish it would connect a little faster
