Ratings and reviews

Has ANYONE gotten this app to work successfully? Worked at first and I really liked the EQ function, but no longer connects to my speaker. Tried on a friend's speaker and can't find his either. Both are EON One Compact. The location requirement is annoying, but manageable. However, the request to access files/photos is completely invasive and unnecessary for the functions this app offers. I denied the app access to files/photos, is that a requirement for the app to continue functioning?

App works okay (so far) on my phone but won't open on my tablet. The app keeps asking me to turn on location, which I have done. I don't have a way to add "trusted devices," so don't even bother suggesting that. My tablet was able to pair with the EON One Compact via Bluetooth, but I am unable to access the app's mixer from my tablet. I'd like to be able to use the app on a larger device since the mixer's slide controls are so sensitive on my phone and so hard to control on the smaller screen.

A great concept that needs refining. First let me say I LOVE the degree of parametric EQing available. You can really shape an acoustic-electric guitar. As others have said, pairing and updating is inconsistent. My biggest issue aside from that is the effects. CHEEZY! The reverbs are barely useable. The delay is worthless because you can't adjust the number of time repeats and you can't adjust the speed up fast enough to get a nice old slapback sound. And there's NO TAP TEMPO.

What's new

• Fix for EQ boost issue when band width is set to maximum.
• Improvements in Audio playback while in BT Broadcast mode

Note: All fixes work only with speakers having firmware version 5.1.4.
