Ratings and reviews

Considering Sony and their clever technology, this app is so basic and boring. To make matters worse the flipping app keeps crashing and you are left with no other option but to uninstall and reinstall it. They should've just offered up a reasonable remote control for my system. The music system itself is amazing, so it deserved a remote or a great app. My moan is over....... 🧐

No widgets to control from home screen, the music library should be the main focus of this app and not a sub windows within it. No method to quick navigate through the artist, album and song lists. App treats songs with multiple artists as the first alphabetically appearing artist within the song as the only artist of said track ("Dog feat. Cat - Bark & Meow" would appear as "Cat - Bark & Meow", no mention of dog in the artists list) and doesn't make use of discnumber tag for multi CD albums.

Hi, I've got 2 Sony car radios which are both less than a year old and I've got a Sony phone so this app was a logical add on/upgrade, which worked really well for the first few months then the app got updated and since been completely useless, I can still use the phone like standard bluetooth devices. So it's disappointing that a brand like Sony can update an app and which now won't work with they own devices, hopefully it'll be updated again soon and start working. when it works it's great.
