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

It's probably me but, when it works it's wonderful. And when it doesn't work if I had any hair I'd pull it out. Seems to be working a lot better now than it used to. I'm enjoying it. It took the roll updates that and a hardwired connection but it seems to be working wonderfully now and I really enjoy it with the high setting for Tidal and a good Parasound stereo system.

Recent updates have improved reliability on my equipment so I'll update my review from 1 to 3 stars. I still don't like how the entire app is locked out during updates. Just had one device which took longer than the others to complete the update and errored out a couple times. I had to reboot it to get the update to complete but during that time I couldn't use any of my other equipment.

Edit: still terrible after all these years. Stero pairs just wont work. Worst app I have ever used! Endless fiddling to get music to play. Too many screens. Lots of data dropouts and music stops. Many times it just stops and says communication lost. Updates for the last 3 years have not addressed problems. Ui is horrible. favorite internet music sources no longer supported: Format not supported.
