Ratings and reviews

Cannot prevent this app from playing music automatically. Every time I connect to a device, this app starts playing whatever music it feels like. I use different music apps like Spotify and Samsung Music for the features they support, and Music Center just isn't one of them. Even worse, I had one song coming out of my phone while another song was coming out of my connected speaker! Please allow me the option to disable the music player feature of this app. I don't need it.

Moody connection issues, absolute nightmare to reconnect every time it decides to forget a speaker. Sony speakers boast great playback range, but you need to drag them all back "within arms reach" whenever the app flakes out. Worked good with two speakers, party-connect is a sh!tshow. It'd be nice to have multiple stereo options, but that's a lot to ask for an app that already sucks at what it's designed for 🙄

Well Sony, new phone and the app can't find the licence agreement and I can't skip that step. So, I'm 'locked out' until you fix this. I don't care about your license, I just want to change the equalizer. In your insistance to present the agreement in real-time, you are letting customers down. Either ensure 100% uptime of the licensing server, or use a stored copy.
