Ratings and reviews

The JBL Eon Compact speaker would not be near as good without this app. With the app, you have access to a five band sweeping parametric equalizer, saved settings, and more. In a reverse of the typical situation, the app is easier to use than the physical knobs on the speaker because of their, uh, suboptimal design. I would not be happy with the speaker if not for this app. I use it on both Android and iPad. The sliders can be a bit hard to adjust because sometimes they're laggy thus 4 stars.

I would like to install this app on my laptop but I guess I can't. Also I do not understand how to bring this back up after I shut the music and the speakers off until next use, because when I turn the speakers back on and open the app only one spaeker is shown instead of 2, and the app does not work right anyway at that point. So I had to uninstall the app and do a factory reset on the speakers and start the whole process again. Any ideas as to why?

App only works on phones, not on tablets or anything with a large enough screen to easily or accurately set the device up. * Sliders need a numerical input field given they are so finicky. * App needs to work on All devices; tablets, Mac OS, Windows * There needs to be a way to back the settings up. The only way to get the device out of an unusable mode is to do a factory reset which removes all settings. Sometimes, removing the battery works, sometimes it doesn't.
