Works well, need refinement though
Connection issues sometimes and takes a while to see the DSR1 when powered up. Background colors make some text hard to see in daylight.
Drs1
Very disappointed in App and Drs1. Don’t know if mine has defects but nothing works. The app won’t stay connected and the Dsr won’t stay on
Good Launch but poor connectivity
Warning to whoever purchases a rockford fosgate DSR 1...the app launches good but you have to close out of it and reopen it before it will connect your phone to the unit for tuning. I love this DSP so i hope rockford improves on this!
Could be so much better
#1: App doesn't stay connected to the DSP1 very easily via BT.
#2: The presets should not be buried, but rather much easier to change on the fly. For example, if I'm listening to an audiobook I should just be able to quick tap into my audiobook preset.
#3: How about an Apple Car Play integration. This is primarily for car audio ... Duh.
Overall, it works as advertised, but it's a wonderful example of the app being an afterthought.

Rockford shouldn’t have released this yet
I hate to bash Rockford because I love their amps and will continue to buy them but this app and DSR1 is garbage for Rockford. Just getting the app to connect to the DSR1 is hard enough. My iPhone 8 with the current up to date software wouldn’t work. I had to use an iPhone 6 with an older software just to connect. Constantly throughout tuning the DSR1, making selections to crossovers and such makes the DSR1 freak out and plays high pitched buzzing and screeching sounds through all the speakers and preventing normal audio from playing. Only way to stop it is to disconnect the DSR1 from power and do it all over again. It’s basically useless. Rockford Fosgate is a really big and reputable car audio brand but this product absolutely hurts their reputation. Especially charging over $300 for the DSR1 and connections. They shouldn’t have even thought about releasing this product until all these bugs were worked out.

Needs Security Update
I am happy with the feature set to tune my DSR1, but not satisfied with the inability to set a passcode or any other security measures to protect my tune from any passer-by that has the app. Please update the app to include this basic security measure.
Semi stable needs updates
There are a lot of app crashes when going into various settings. There also needs to be an app “keep alive,” setting so the screen stays on while tuning and idle. Instead ill tweak something elsewhere or listen to a track and have to then unlock my phone and hope the app is still connected and wont crash on me. Other apps like pandora and logitech harmony keep the screen on by default

Does Not Work
Will not work with IOS 13. Disconnects from Bluetooth. Unable to change any settings.
Good features, but needs refinement
Used on a Focus ST with RF DSR1.
The app has an impressive array of tuning capabilities and features but I think it’s missing some functionality for basic users who don’t feel like tuning a 31 band Equalizer to adjust their sound. I think it’d be wise to add in some preset EQ settings like Rock, Classical, Rap, Country, more/less bass, etc. It’d be nice to see one of these audio companies step up with an app that has some level of automatic tuning built in but maybe that’s still a while out.
Another nice addition would be a way to choose from some ballpark time alignment (speaker placement) scenarios such as large/small car, large/small SUV, truck, motorcycle, school bus, etc. These measurements don’t need to be down to the inch and not every user wants to sit in the driver seat and run a tape measure from their ear to each speaker; although that is what I did.
I’ve also noticed the Bluetooth connection seems pretty touchy and the app will very often force close itself when opening the advanced tuning menu as it synchronizes with the tuning device (iPhone XR). Takes a couple attempts to get in sometimes.
Overall I like the concept and features but feel it’s buggy and needs some refinement for stability. Also maybe some basic EQ presets and preset settings for time alignment that can then all be fine tuned if the user chooses. Obviously not every situation can be predetermined but I know it would have saved me some time if there was a closer starting point.

Issues galore
I’m on an iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 13.1 and the app is constantly crashing and won’t stay connected to my DSR1 for more than 30 seconds. I’ve tested two separate dsr1s. Both gave same issues. Both are running newest firmware. Sport would be helpful
Wow Rockford Fosgate. Way to tarnish your name.
So I get a dsr1 today to complete my truck system (all Rockford T series) and the first unit could not maintain connectivity to Bluetooth. Took it back and got another one. Same issue. What a piece of crap. You took a great idea and executed it right into the ground. So now I have this $260 useless black box that I am hesitant to install in my truck. I went online only to see a ton of people having the same issues for awhile now. What’s your deal RF? Don’t you test? Can you not afford decent developers? What’s your excuse. I looked at reviews on the android version of the app and I was blown away with the 1 star reviews. You must have a macro setup because 90% of your replies are “please call support”. Maybe support should be doing your development. So freaking disappointed in the brand. I think audiophiles around the world expected much more from the brand.

Love it but please change one thing.
I love so many aspects of this piece, but the one thing I wish it had was an adjustable punch bass with respects to the frequency. Instead of being fixed, it would be awesome if you could adjust it from say 30-70 hz?
iPad issue
App will not open on my new iPad Pro 12.9”. I have no issue with my new iPhone 8. Is there an update being worked on for it or am I the only one?
Broken on IPad Pro
App immediately closes on my iPad Pro. Had to use Android Tablet to configure DSR1.
Has gotten better with time...
I’ve owned the DSR1 for over a year now and have seen this app go through some significant improvements over that time. I did have to re-flash the firmware on the unit after the last update, which solved any connection issues that had arisen.
I look forward to additional improvements, but overall I’ve had solid experience with the DSR1 and this app.

Focus ST
I have experience building PCs, tuning cars setting up sensors, and of course messing with car stereos. The controls are easy to use in the app. The app has bugs though and doesn’t connect very well since a recent update. I have owned a dsr1 for roughly 8 months. I’m not sure why we have all of this connectivity with no auto tune attachment though. :/ I would shell out some extra cash for that feature.

Dsr1
This processor completely changed the way my stereo produces sound. Amazing product everyone should have one.
Not what I expected from Rockford
Been using their products for over 10 years but the quality of the DSR1 may make me reconsider. The app is assigning the wrong channels to the speakers. In set up mode channels 1 and 2 are assigned to tweeters, but then they actually come out of channels 5 and 6. Selecting the maestro harness doesn't seem to save and the crossover / eq keeps resetting. Trying to save as a preset makes the app crash. Very disappointing to have spent $300 on this device when the basic functionality still isn't even there.

Response from developer
We appreciate your feedback and quickly resolved the issues with that you have encountered with v1.5.1. The master EQ will reset if you are using the Maestro T-harness since the radio tone controls (bass, mid, treble or radio EQ) will override the master EQ function. We will make this more clear in the next app release by disabling master EQ on the APP while the unit is in Maestro mode. Please contact Rockford tech support at 1 -800-669-9899 if your problems persist.
Ehh
Really sad to see Rockford put their name on an app that functions as dismally as this. App reverts back to the original harness immediately after setup, the app crashes while trying to save presets, and channels under advanced tuning switch around with each other. EQ on the main page resets every time the app is closed as well. Very annoying. Needs work before it will be usable.
