Ratings and reviews

Even with a flagship phone and a decent set of sonybuds, the BT cuts out every so often, which would be fine, if my earbuds could pair to other devices, without the app. And for some reason, I can't turn off hear-through or audio-pass through when I am calling someone. Why is that a feature? It makes phone calls worse for everyone involved, which is a shame because the earbuds sound pretty good

The app is generally fine. Does everything it should. It also has the bloat you've come to expect from these kinds of apps. Why would I care about an achievement for listening with my earbuds? What marketing intern came up with that slam dunk? I wish I could opt out of like half the app. It's been so much easier to use. There's so much going on that it makes it hard to sift through the noise.

Nice idea; I love the idea of settings synced to my Sony account and usage statistics recorded and saved by the app (also cloud synced). However, the login token expires way too quickly; I have to sign in and then manually synchronize my settings basically every time I use the app. This annoyance makes the app cumbersome and disappointing instead of useful. Even apps with my payment info (e.g. Amazon) save login tokens for a year or longer, so there's no reason it needs to expire so fast here.
