App was OK until the last couple of TV for more updates

When I first got my Bravia 7, this app seem to work OK. You can use it as a remote and it connected consistently.

I don't know if it is an app issue or a TV issue, but after the last two Bravia TV firmware update updates, this app no longer connects more than once

I have to make the app forget the TV, then I am usually able to reconnect and it will work. But if I close the app and open it again, it says that it can't find the TV.

So the app is essentially useless unless you want to pair it every single time you use it.

Edit: as of August 1, 2026, the app never finds my TV anymore so I can't use it at all. TV is on and working fine otherwise, but the app never sees the TV anymore.

Highly disappointed

I am a fan of Sony products. But the app will not communicate with my theater. Sound bar seven. Been trying for hours to get this thing to work.

Sony App

The Sony APP is one of the most difficult to use. It asks for verification via a code sent to your email which requires you to close the signin app. When you you return to the app it requires you to start over. It would make a lot less difficult if the app would text to you a code which IPhone iOS would automatically recognize and fill. The instructions for HDMI hookup is also very poor. Come on Sony for a premiere product you could do better.

A no glitch app

Best remote without a glitch for Sony TV and sound system

It works but…

It functionally works, but it’s not intuitive. I typically only either want to adjust brightness or turn on night mode since the rest I haven’t touched since setup. Adjusting brightness/picture mode is not as simple as it should be. I never really use other remote functionality that they offer.
