Won’t connect

Just finish setting up the bravia theatre trio.
When I go to finish set up it loses communication with home. Try to connect with my bravia tv and same issue

App

Sometimes the app don’t work and shows me that I’m connected to my sound bar, which is frustrating

Recent Update Issues

Update 3.11 disconnected my rear speakers and can no longer sync them with my soundbar since the app cannot detect the soundbar or speakers anymore. Disappointing.

Connection

Regular problems connecting phone to soundbar

Works rarely

Never connects properly and can’t maintain connection to tv.

Music

I find it difficult to use the machine for movies as I cannot get the image synchronised with the voices but as a 3d low level music player I love it. I’ve never listened to so much music.

Little Buggy

Not a bad app. But unified control often drops out.

Reconnecting

You’re constantly reconnecting your smartphone to your TV, whether it’s because of an update or just on a regular day!

Very disappointing

Sony Bravia 8ii tv disconnects from the app almost every time I use it. When it works it is so good, unfortunately this is not often. Also have issues with the soundbar connecting to the app too but much less frequently. Followed all of Sonys support articles but the issue persists. Very disappointed when you take into account how much this all cost.

Connection flip flops

The soundbar works great on its own, but recently the app keeps flipping between connected and not connected. Tried the workaround last week, this worked for a few nights. Now back to ‘on/off on/off’ all the time. The app has never been perfect but recently its trash. Edit: the connectivity is more stable but it forgets your settings from viewing the app only a few minutes after the last time. Its basically a remote on your phone rather than a comprehensive app.

Not recommended

It’s always losing connection, they had it fixed for a while then updated it for whatever reason, I guess to have something to do because it’s broke again now. Not reliable in the least, don’t waste your money on this item.

No Longer Working

I purchased a new Sony Bravia 3 II TV a few months ago. I downloaded the Sony Bravia Connect app & it paired seamlessly with my new Sony TV.
Now suddenly, the connection to the TV has been lost. This seems to have started when the new version 3.11 of the app was downloaded to my phone. I am now unable to find the TV when searching with the app & therefore no longer able to use the app in conjunction with my Sony TV.

App needs work

The app is ok overall but keep dropping single to tv only.
Sony Bravia 7 mk2 89” & home theater 6 5.1

The sound & visuals is amazing totally changed my life. But bit of nusience dropping tv signal a lot but sound is perfect never drops signal

Unreliable

It works about 50% of the time. Otherwise, I can find the TV, but it cannot connect to the TV it found. Sony support has been rather unsupportive.

Needs more customization

Bass level? For what? The sub or the quad or all of it? Needs separate subwoofer settings.

No good not bad

Would be a perfect app if it would stay connected but unfortunately half of the time it doesn’t connect.
Requires resetting and restarting the app on phone and tablet all the time.
So this issue could be fixed but it’s been since a year

Owner

We’re having to reboot the app constantly for all users in the family.

Remote app

Works horribly. It never connects. I have to manually power up the tv for each use and it till throws an error code. I've had the worst experience wirhbmy Sony

Great Functionality but Missing a Few nice-to-have Features

A more comprehensive setup guide would be preferable but it was easy enough.

However, the app has some great features, would be nice if there was an in-built soundstage setup feature using your phones microphone to tune the audio to your rooms acoustics, and also a sliding scale for the volume.

Other than those minor things, I am thoroughly impressed with the app and my new HTS 6 system.

Won’t Connect to the TV

I’ve been trying to connect my phone to the TV itself, but it won’t work, so I don’t think the app is useful for me, but it might work for other people.
