App needs a lot of work

This app needs a lot of work. Issues include the fact it loses the name you give each speaker when you change it from the default. Second is that it cannot automatically turn the speakers on. This means the speakers have to manually be turned on so you can’t install them high up as you need to get to the speaker power button each time. Very annoying. Fixing these two issues would be a giant step forward.

Internet issue

Won’t allow me to connect to 5G. This is the only supported network for me now. So I can’t access the app software to turn the volume up. Disappointing.

Sketchy

Very intermittent. Changed the names of speakers and it just reverts back to original name. Needs an update and re-haul.

After a couple of years...

This connected easily with the Bauhn SoundMax 3 but it's annoying in that some features in the hardware manual are not available. An important one for me is the timer functions. Fortunately there is a competing app which does have a timer. Another problem is that it's not intuitive and there is very limited in app help. I can't figure out how to set a favourite Tunein radio station. Needs more work developer.
Now I’ve tried to use this for a couple of years I’m disappointed that the developers have not introduced a feature that is really necessary: the ability to turn on the hardware by a SoundMax request. This will need a firmware update to my Bauhn SoundMax 3, but this should be possible, no?

Vet 2.0

I fail to see any difference between the old and new app.

Best every I have soundMax 5 so loud and clear and bass is fantastic 💯👌😊

The best

Good speakers useless app

Please put a bit of money into fixing your app, I'm constantly having to resync the speakers all the time

App does not work

I don't know what is wrong with this app. It just loops continuously, searching for devices. I cannot get it to work.

What's happened to the search?

Absolutely love our soundmax system. A few minor problems: one of the plug in adapters wasn't working. Was replaced relatively easily. And joining two together for bigger areas proves to be impossible but... what has happened to the search????? It was such a comprehensive library but it has just disappeared ???
The price is a fraction of anything on the market and the quality is comparable.

Works great

The automatic pairing to wifi network didn't work but the manual pairing was easy. Once set up, single play and pairing works fine. - I have max 3, max5 and sound bar - and no issues with single playing or multiple play. The sound is pretty good - for the price you really can't complain. Just return products and buy expensive stuff. Well done Bauhn and Aldi.

MULTI-ROOM DOESN'T WORK

Single purpose for buying two speaker was to use with multi-room, but have never been able to get them to pair together successful. Always get the message "multi-room timed out, please refresh system". Have had hardware replaced once already, but still doesn't work. Support from Tempo was average - telling me to try the alternative way of setting up the devices, but no fix for the multi-room issue. It's obviously a software problem - will this be fixed?????

Does not function as advertised

This app does not offer the functionality advertised in its paired products user guides. The support in Australia seems to be minimal with tempo.org telephones not being answered and emails yet to be answered. Would be greatly appreciated if one could receive some proper feedback and support...

Review Soundmax

Do not even bother using this app as it does not support Australian radio stations such as Triple M, Fox FM or Nova to name a few. And support from Tempo (Aust) ????.

Such a shame!

The audio quality of the sound max 5 is simply fantastic! HOWEVER, the software required to run these on wifi is incredibly poor, poorly translated, poorly laid out, everything about the software is terrible, ohh and did I mention how bad this software is. Not to mention Pandora is missing. Sadly I too will be returning this great sounding/looking speaker purely due to the software.

Amazing

The capabilities of this app and speaker are amazing! You can search for music and play it without getting up!

Where is RSSRadio???

Where is Pandora?

Ok but where is Pandora?

Major Fail

Badly designed app that doesn't allow much changes to settings or connections to multiple music players (only 3 in total). When connected to soundmax 3, it is no more than an average Bluetooth enabled speaker. I returned the hardware and will delete the app now.
