It will enhance the experience of listening the songs while travelling when we cannot carry the Saregama Caravan device with us. Please update. ### 1/5 — The worst bhikhari app *2023-04-02, version 1.2.92* After paying 3500 INR for the upgraded version of Wi-Fi model …I felt like they have an app …so I can can enjoy upgraded songs … it nothing more than a loot … I’m filing a civil suit against them … ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect *2023-01-23, version 1.2.83* Doesn’t connect to my Caravan and Caravan mini. Tried a number of times. Don’t know what’s the issue. Have others too faced the same issue? ### 1/5 — Zero stars *2022-11-05* Crappy! After hours of effort, I still cant connect wifi! Strongly do NOT recommend. …Stand alone, the device serves a purpose, but without wifi it cannot deliver promised features (podcasts, etc) making the saregama device meaningless. Of course, I am unable to reach anyone for help or to return device. Suggestions: - surface device mac id for access control - easier wifi. My device not recognized by app so wifi options never available to me. ### 1/5 — App not recognizing that user has active subscription *2022-02-23* Hi team I have sent an email with my all the device details, i have the same issue like the other 15 users have paid for the subscription yet the app keeps saying i need to subscribe! Tried 20 times did all trouble shoot but same issue persists ### 1/5 — Volume control from App not working *2021-11-08* Volume control from latest ios version 15.1 is not working when we unlock phone after screen off. Downloaded latest version of app. ### 3/5 — Stuck *2021-08-14* The iOS app stuck after we click on the arrow button at the bottom while song is playing ## Frequently asked questions about Smart Remote Connect ### What does the Smart Remote Connect app do?
