It's a complete schmuzzle. This is the worst app and the fact that there are absolutely no compatible apps that you can use with this is ridiculous. I paid for these Galaxy Buds Pro and had so many issues: - connecting to Windows devices - disconnecting randomly - having to search and find different driver packs There's absolutely no support with an iPhone. You need to have a Samsung device. What a load of rubbish, zero stars ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-07-30, version 2.1.1* Перестали работать наушники, не видит даже айфон их. Что делать? ### 1/5 — Doesn't detect galaxy buds *2026-07-29, version 2.1.1* I bought the newest galaxy buds available and couldn't get it to connect no matter what I did. Connected to the bluetooth option on my phone with no issue and I even disconnected and reconnected to see if it was an issue on my end. App needs work ### 1/5 — wtf *2026-07-17, version 2.1.1* I just got a pair of galaxy buds and now I can’t even connect them to my phone because there is no “galaxy wearable” app anymore and this app doesn’t have the older galaxy buds as an option on it???? i’m super bummed ### 1/5 — Not good. Tsk tsk tsk. *2026-07-16, version 2.1.1* App is terribly useless. Cannot connect to my earbuds. Almost $300 pair of headphones that can’t connect to a simple app to use its functions. Disgraceful. First and last time trying for a Samsung product. Apple all the way. ### 1/5 — Not connecting with new samsung galaxy buds core *2026-06-24, version 2.1.1* Well, i purchased the galaxy buds core and i try to connect with buds app on my iphone 17 but its not even detecting the buds i don’t now why , i just wanna know if it is compatible or not ? ### 1/5 — Basura *2026-06-21, version 2.1.1* No sirve ### 1/5 — Galaxy Buds 2 *2026-06-10, version 2.1.1* Won’t even recognize the device. At least my phone pairs with them via Bluetooth. That’s about it, though. Oh well. ### 1/5 — Absolutely useless *2026-06-08, version 2.1.1* Not compatible with earbud 4pro ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-06-03, version 2.1.1* Just doesn’t have the option to find my buds pro ### 1/5 — Very unlike Samsung *2026-06-02, version 2.1.1* This app is so bad. Doesn’t even have support for any of their earbuds except for one pair that came out like 6 years ago. Very strange ### 1/5 — Limited Support *2026-05-19, version 2.1.1* Only supports old models of buds. If you have a newer model then it’s basic connection only or throw them out and buy something Apple or third party. This bs between Apple and Samsung is really annoying. ### 1/5 — ゴミなんです *2026-05-14* 何の価値もないアプリ。 ### 1/5 — The app does not work! *2026-05-07, version 2.1.1* I cannot connect my buds to the app no matter how hard I tried! FAQ and chat is a joke. They said there is something wrong with the buds and I need to send them for repair. They work perfectly fine and pair to my phone. I wish I could have access to the settings. My partner has no problems with the android version. I ordered a second pair of buds because of this issue. It’s the app. PLEASE FIX. ### 1/5 — They Suck *2026-05-06, version 2.1.1* These things suck if you want to modify them on the app. For whatever reason I cannot get the earbuds to pair to the Samsung app on my iPhone so I can’t control the nose cancellation. I brought them at the airport so I don’t know how to return these. But it’s been a headache since purchasing them. ### 1/5 — Buds 3 Pro *2026-04-27, version 2.1.1* Why is buds3 pro not supported :( ### 1/5 — Not connecting *2026-04-23, version 2.1.1* So I am on a iPhone 17 and I have the galaxy buds 2 and there isn’t a option to pair to them and I find it frustrating and would like to know if the buds are the problem? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Save yourself the time *2026-08-26, version 2.1.1* My buds won’t link to my iPhone regardless of what I do. They connected just fine to an android but they will not pair for apple. Please consider before getting if you’ve got an iPhone. ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-08-24, version 2.1.1* Not sure why this app exists, nothing works, nothing connects, and there are no options to change anything. Last galaxy product I buy. ### 1/5 — Could not find my buds at all *2026-08-18, version 2.1.1* Active noise cancellation is lousy . This app can’t find or merge with Galaxy buds . I give up ### 1/5 — No options *2026-08-17, version 2.1.1* This app SUCKSSSS. I recently got an iphone again and it wont detect my galaxy buds 2 pro. There are no options other than 2 on the home screen. The help page doesn't offer anything helpful. I have no way of changing the settings on my headphones. This app is a joke. ### 1/5 — No Galaxy Buds FE support *2026-08-17, version 2.1.1* My bud stopped pairing and I’d like some support on iPhone ### 1/5 — Sucks on ios *2026-08-16, version 2.1.1* I am gonna go back to an Android device because after an ios update, my right earbud no longer works. Tried different earbuds and issue persists. I don't want airpods, so back to Android ### 1/5 — Can’t get the app to recognize my earbuds *2026-08-14, version 2.1.1* I’ve tried everything. The earbuds connect to my phone fine, but the app won’t recognize them. ### 1/5 — No support for Buds4 Pro *2026-08-05, version 2.1.1* Need update to support new Galaxy Buds4 Pro!! ### 1/5 — outdated *2026-08-03, version 2.1.1* title about sums it up this app is for something that was used years ago and hasn’t been updated in such a long time. honestly, update it ### 1/5 — Removed so many older buds *2026-08-03, version 2.1.1* Would be fine if they didn't regularly prune older bud models for no reason. Can't even connect to my buds anymore. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It works! *2026-06-08, version 2.1.1* I had to connect again after it connected. Once you connect it through the app, you have to go back to bluetooth and then connect though other. It will show again that there is another live option to connect to. Then you will hear the beep sound to confirm that its connected. So their are two separate Bluetooth’s to connect to. ### 5/5 — Please *2026-04-01, version 2.1.1* Galaxy buds 3 pro.. ### 5/5 — Can you guys pls make buzz 2 just normal? *2026-01-06, version 2.1.1* Pls ### 5/5 — ㅜㅜㅜㅜ *2026-01-01* 기종이 왜 +랑 라이브밖에 없죠.. 프로랑 se도 넣어주세요 ㅜㅜ ### 5/5 — Update *2025-07-28, version 2.1.1* Really needs an update got Samsung galaxy buds 3 pro but no whee to connect it since I’m on iOS ### 5/5 — Actualización *2025-07-03, version 2.1.1* Actualización ### 5/5 — 버즈 프로들도 가능하게 해주세요 *2025-06-03* 버즈 2 프로쓰고 있는데 연결이 안되어 불편합니다. 버즈 프로 시리즈들도 연결되도록 조속히 대처 바랍니다. ### 5/5 — Can we get another app update? *2025-05-08, version 2.1.1* I was wondering can we get another app update that lets us track our earbuds and find them while our Bluetooth is on? ### 5/5 — Great ear buds, work better on Galaxy ecosystem *2025-04-18, version 2.1.1* I mean when I use them on Apple iPhone they work really worse, they work amazing on all other phones including old windows ### 5/5 — Hm *2025-01-06, version 2.1.1* It’s good but I can only see the percentage of my buds+ and not the case. It’s fine though because the light in the case tells me roughly how much battery it has left.
