Ratings and reviews

Can't control volume nor connection. For months now the formation bar will disconnect from the app. When I do reconnect, there's no volume control on the app. We would have to stand up and walk across the room to manually adjust. This issue is affecting my Android and my husband's iPhone. Nothing we do works. Feel like we wasted sooooo much money on this thing.

So QSG goes - install the app to continue. I have to create an account and login in order to use the hardware I bought, just for basic settings or firmware update, and this is called quick start? Well that's Zero stars. Lousy attempt at data grab - nothing more. Almost zero functionality and existing one might or might not work. And possibility to use third party accounts through the app is not excuse for asking for user registration to adjust basic settings. Sony does not do it for example.

What even is this app? If I wanted tidal wouldn't I just install tidal? I can't even access music on my device either. It's literally glorified Bluetooth settings with ads. Some level of customization but the fact that it's called music but doesn't allow you to play music on your device is kind of strange given the fact the cheapest b&w device compatible is like 300$.
