Ratings and reviews

Bought two Go 4s. One connected fine. The other one won't connect. The normal Bluetooth pairing process doesn't work. I keep getting a popup on the lower half of my screen asking me to connect. It takes over a minute to connect, but then it's still not connected. It prompts me to download this app, which also can't find the speaker. The speaker is useless. Update: I deleted the first speaker hoping it would help, and now I can't connect to that one. So now both speakers are useless.

September 2026 update: THIS APP IS TRASH: little to no improvement over the last 2 years. Partylink is very unstable; speakers consistently dropping in and out, cant find product that was just working, and there is no way to force an update on speakers. I have 5 units; boombox 3, charge 4, and 3 flip 6s. when theyre all on they sound great, but touch the phone to do ANYTHING else and the system goes crazy. Harmon doesnt care, they just say buy the new one. THIS APP IS TRASH

I downloaded this JBL app as a companion to a "JBL Grip" speaker I purchased recently and I'm not impressed. First, the app fails to connect to the speaker about 60% of the time, whether there's music playing or not. Second, the failure of the app to connect to the speaker confirms why I hate companion apps in the first place. They're not reliable. Third, I shouldn't be forced to download an app in order to access features that should've been built into the product in the first place.
