ATS2090

Love this remote works great, can change soundbar settings, play music, bunch of other stuff also works great.

Not work for AST-1070 soundbar

Should indicate app works only for selected models and device must be WiFi enabled. App description use the word β€œSelect” is confusing and correct one should be Selected.

Difficult app

Half the time you cannot find how to get back to the main menu to turn off the Sound Bar. This app has a mind of its own. Very difficult to navigate. Garbage.

Switching between devices and other things a bit clunky

WiFi hard if not impossible to connect.

What is the point…,

of having a firmware update facility built into the app when is constantly fails to update. No pc to download firmware onto a usb stick and update manually - then tough as you won’t be able to update the soundbar past the version it was built with! Very disappointing from a big brand.
