Ratings and reviews

We've had a Freeplay Home for a while and it worked well as a BT speaker (Android & iPhone). I recently installed the app after seeing screen shots implying there was an equalizer. The app can't find the speaker (says "Searching" forever), but will connect using your phone BT. However, there is no equalizer (just 2 headings : Bluetooth and About). The app version is 1.01 from 2023, a sign Mackie is not serious. I was going to get a 2nd one (stereo), but will probably switch to something else.

First, don't get me wrong, (the home) speakers are great, but the app is more than simple... I had a hard time connecting to the speaker after installation of the app. The app got apparently stuck, I installed it like 10 times... Turned out, that I had to turn on location on my phone and then it worked. Unfortunately the app didn't have the Equalizer I was hoping for, only thing you can really do ist switch between stereo and rooms. You can switch right and left speaker and see charging status.

First of all, I can't have the eq function on my MacBook from which i Bluetooth music because i cant download the app on it. Please make a Mac version. It us an IOS device after all.. Secondly it takes forever for the app to search for the FreePlay. When i check my phone messages and go back to the app running in the background, it restarts and searches again. It's frustrating to be unable to manually adjust the eq settings without using the app.
