Ratings and reviews

Took like 8 times to connect my soundbar to WiFi. Spent 1k on a soundbar and the app has zero equalizer presets to toggle through for different audio use cases. The equalizer that's there just allows 3 settings to be adjusted, low mid and high. Yes you can save your settings, but you can't save multiples. Sometimes I want it set for dialog, sometimes I may want to set it for music. Ridiculous!

Yet another poorly designed app that prioritizes form over function. Connecting a bluetooth speaker should be quick and easy. Should reconnect every time. Shouldn't need an app just to flip on a setting for "bluetooth autoreconnect". You restrict a device from reconnecting just so people use your dumb app. Also had to reinstalland clear cache and re-pair the device just to be able to turn on the autoreconnect setting because it was greyed out for no reason. Poor design for expensive speakers.

The app took awhile to connect to both my PartyBox Ultimates, but once I got passed that everything worked well. I like being able to use QoBuz in the app for high quality music streaming over wifi. There are some minor things JBL needs to address in the app. When you active Deep Bass and exit the app, upon reopening the JBL One app it will show that deep bass is now deactivated, but it isn't because you can see on the speaker itself that it is still active.
