Ratings and reviews

i love the beats themselves. but as for the app for em....NOT so much. I have to constantly reconnect to the app and it takes a few. don't seem right. it's upsetting to have to connect to the app, and fight thru all that, just to be able to change the music sound choices and others. I'll still fight with it cuz i don't have many options. but thought y'all should know. thanks!!!

For the Powerbeats Pro 2 (ironically, the most expensive version), it doesn't let you pair the case to see its charge level. It says that it can track your heart rate, but it seems to me that it only pulls data from any other fitness app you must have, without which, this feature won't work at all. Some times it won't let you see any feature of any kind and will show you adds will take you to their sales website.

The headphones (Solo 4) are great. Having the app set off a notification multiple times a day that it needs to be updated is absolutely horrid. I'll be using another app on my phone, suddenly the Beats app update notification appears. I swipe it away. Go to another app a few minutes later, Beats notification pops up again. I know when to update when you update it on Google Play. Don't need the intrusive, can't turn off, notifications as well. Tempted to just uninstall it and be done.
