About this app

Breakthrough DTS Play-Fi(R) technology powers simple, great-sounding whole-home wireless audio systems for smartphones and tablets. You can stream your favorite tunes over Wi-Fi right from the Play-Fi app to speakers from DTS Play-Fi product partners. It's a huge step up from Bluetooth - the audio quality and reliability are outstanding, and you can enjoy music from your phone in one room, or all your rooms.

The "Hi-Fi over Wi-Fi" listening experience is just a touch away, thanks to this handy app. Choose a speaker, choose a song, and your favorite tunes are streaming all through the house.

The app offers built-in streaming options: stream from worldwide music services such as Tidal and Deezer; use AM/FM and Internet radio, connect to DLNA servers, or play anything from your devices’ music library, including your playlists. The app automatically organizes and indexes the music for you.

The app also handles set-up for your speakers, and gives you full control of volume and speaker selection. Choose one, or stream to all of them at once.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have a Play-Fi product from Polk Audio, Definitive Technology, Wren, or Phorus, please search for and download the custom Play-Fi app for your audio brand.

Please also note that the Play-Fi app is companion software to audio products enabled with Play-Fi technology. It is not intended as a stand-alone audio player.

Ratings and reviews

Not too good. figuring out anything is quite a struggle. But on a positive note it is better than before. Earlier I could not use my DT speaker for a long time because this app didn't do anything useful. It still doesn't let me play free youtube and other music.Very limited amazon music and Spotify capabilities. Someone who spends so much for the expensive speakers expects a better app to utilise those speakers.

Updated Review: After using the app for 5 years, increasing my rating from 1 star to 3, but still a lot of work to do. My major nitpick is the wifi connection method. I preferred the old way of adding devices...why do I have to connect to the device wifi now?? Don't fix something that wasn't an issue. Also, this new method does not guarantee a stronger connection. My playback will drop for no reason constantly..which obviously defeats the purpose of this app.

With so many big hardware makers involved, you'd expect they could get the software to work right. You're limited to pre-selected services - leaving out the great players on my phone, worse still, most of their players are too buggy to work. The 'internet raduo' player is your one way to play radio and podcasts. It hangs and hangs on Android. ( Works on iOS.) And why does it need access to my contacts and phone calls?
