### 2/5 — Useful?

*2026-08-02, version 2.16.0*

Not at all sure if this is useful. I have a web browser and Sony website. Why does this app exist?

### 4/5 — 기본적으로 다 좋아요. 이것만 고쳐주세요.

*2026-04-25*

지역&언어별로 지원하는 제품이 한정되어 있는데 One sony 하나의 소니 전략으로 모든 제품이 모든 국가에서 동일하게보장받을수 있도록 해주세요. 일본이나 미국처럼 큰 지역으로 연락할수있도록 메일을 넣어주시면 감사하겠습니다.

### 3/5 — Needs Basic UX Improvements

*2025-12-05, version 2.15.1*

More than anything this app needs a way to mark all messages as read and/or deleted. With multiple Sony products, I currently have 495 messages, many duplicated across similar products. Every action you make in the app is one by one. It’s infuriating.

### 4/5 — Kullanışlı

*2025-10-25, version 2.15.1*

Kullanışlı program ama Türkçe kılavuzları daha çok görmek isteriz.

### 2/5 — Słabo

*2025-09-12, version 2.15.1*

Opornie działająca i brzydka aplikacja. Wstyd Sony.

### 3/5 — Can't even reply

*2025-06-29, version 2.15.1*

Hmmm

### 2/5 — Missing message management / missing actual support tie in.

*2025-05-27, version 2.15.0*

While it is useful to get notifications, the app NEEDS a way for users to mark “all” messages as “read” in a simple way. 
I just added my TV to the app, and the new message count jumped to over 100+ because every tv related message was deemed relevant to my model (even messages that came out 3 years before my tv.  Because the message topic as updated to also be relevant to my model ). Great but no way I’m reading 100+ messages. 

So either I shut off the messages notifications bug, and this don’t notice when new meshes arrive. Or I delete the app and go back to just looking up issues when they arise. 

 It’s an issue because this app is in a group with a bunch of other apps in iOS and the 100+ red dot notifications will swamp out my ability to notice the important red dot notifications showing up from other apps in that same group (eg system updates in my case. ). I’m not going to not put such a support app in my “support” app group just because it’s too verbose.

Beyond that the app doesn’t have actual online support submission ability - just chat bots and message boards. So if you have a warranty issue you still habe to phone call the number to open a case. It would be helpful to be able to open a case with Sony on the app.

### 2/5 — Can we PLEASE get an option to MARK ALL AS READ?

*2024-11-06, version 2.15.0*

I noticed that every now and then when the app updates all notifications are reset to unread and I literally have to check 400 notifications one by one to remove them. It’s annoying. Please fix it!

### 3/5 — Needs Landscape Support and bulk message delete

*2024-09-30, version 2.15.0*

Please allow this app to work in landscape mode. Much easier to use in landscape mode. Also, we need a delete all messages option as the messages can really pile up to the point where I have messages turned off.

### 1/5 — slow & not not great plus bugs

*2024-09-21, version 2.14.0*

The only real usage for this app is the notification for tv new firmware bacause the Sony tv are not giving the update with the same speed. The app pages with details for your tv’s are loading horribly slow…
 Maybe in Japan is always holiday when a new tv firmware is released because the app is always giving you the same notification twice …

### 2/5 — Needs a bulk delete for messages

*2024-08-18, version 2.14.0*

This is app is great for all of your Sony products. But the number of messages that can build up, it’s difficult to use. When user swipes left to delete, it’s just too slow. It needs a select function so user can go down the list , select the messages then a delete button.

### 1/5 — Annoying tags in the whole app

*2024-08-12*

Your side tag

These are the worst most annoying tags across the whole app popping out in a fking manner

### 1/5 — Rubbish App

*2024-08-03, version 2.14.0*

You end up doubling up your products in this app, if you’ve registered them  with Sony! Absolute nonsense. Another Sony product not properly thought through. Information doesn’t always relate to your product and poorly laid out.

### 3/5 — Needs a bulk delete for messages

*2024-07-08*

This is app is great for all of your Sony products. But the number of messages that can build up, it’s difficult to use. 
When user swipes left to delete, it’s just too slow. It needs a select function so user can go down the list , select the messages then a delete button.

### 1/5 — Used to be fine, what happened?

*2024-06-12, version 2.14.0*

This app used to work perfectly well. However, recently the app refused to bring up the support pages for one of my registered products. I removed it and tried to add it back but now it’s no longer listed (AV Receiver STR-DN1060); other STR-DN models above and below in the range are listed?! But the problems don’t end there…

To import products registered in my Sony account… logging in with Google account doesn’t work as it no longer meets Google’s technical requirements for security. When you log into your Sony account manually using account username and password, the target page after logging in no longer exists: “
*We can’t find your page

Sorry you can’t reach the webpage you want. Our system doesn’t recognise the page link.”
There’s no option to link 2 Sony accounts - unfortunately used 2 different email addresses to register products.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-03-20, version 2.16.0*

Impossible to navigate. Couldn’t even figure out how to submit a complaint. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Would give a 0 if I could

*2026-01-25, version 2.16.0*

My xm6’s mic is malfunctioning, they told me to exchange even though I had several times. Sony should really consider allowing their users to report bugs.

### 1/5 — Sony account with Passcode

*2025-07-05, version 2.15.1*

Do not bother setting up a passcode if you want to use this software.  The Sony account sign in is buggy and doesn’t work most of the time.  I can’t believe just how bad the Sony website is nowadays.  I tried to log in after buying a TV and gave up. The account assumes you have a PlayStation.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2025-03-02, version 2.15.0*

Why do you create this app. I cant do anything in this app. Totaly useless

### 1/5 — Spent a half hour with bots

*2025-01-23, version 2.15.0*

Don’t expect actual results 
The power button failed on my WH 1000XM4 headphones. 

Count on wasting half an hour with bots before being placed in a queue for a human who directs you to links designed to run troubleshooting.  Once you follow the instructions without success you’ll need to start over with the bots.

It’s a great product. The button wore out. I just wanted to know how to fix it

I wish I could give this app a zero because that’s all I could achieve by using it - nothing

### 1/5 — 1

*2025-01-22, version 2.15.0*

1

### 1/5 — Ужас

*2024-12-25*

Повтор экрана больше не работает! Я в шоке просто

### 1/5 — Tv troubleshooting

*2024-10-31, version 2.15.0*

Useless

### 1/5 — ☹️

*2024-10-23*

I was searching for user manual of Camcorder HDR-CX260. But it is NOT available. And there is no option in the app to submit the request. Rather it forces to select from the list of predefined items.

### 1/5 — What a joke this app is!

*2024-10-11*

There’s no support in this app. The right bud doesn’t connect unless I insert into ear, take out and place back in the case, then re-insert into ear. This app is just a link to the useless website. And it’s not even the correct link. I’m trying to get replacement earbud tips too. The accessories link doesn’t work. Never again will I buy from a company that doesn’t sell accessories. I’m now forced to buy aftermarket tips from elsewhere. I expect $300 earbuds to perform better and last longer than my $25 earbuds. This is not the case. Bye Sony! I’m done with you!

### 5/5 — Support messages.

*2024-06-05, version 2.14.0*

There are too many messages about the Sony photographic products. It is good to add a filter option for users to display , say, only the firmware updates. The filter content can be changed. At present there are no filter options and there are too many messages cluttering. Valuable messages would form clutters and hope the application owner would add a filter option for messages.

### 5/5 — Übersichtlich

Die App ist übersichtlich für alle registrierten Geräte und für alle notwendigen Infos
