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.

Never Connects

I’ve tried multiple times, over the last 2 years, and the apps never work. Ys209. Just tried again (bar won’t turn on w tv anymore, so need the app to try to fix since no on screen menu)… and it requires me to connect to a WiFi network, before it will open fully. No option for using cell phone data, even if I have my WiFi & hotspot enabled. It just never works.
