Ratings and reviews

It's cute that it lets me know there's an update for my headphones, but it would be a lot more useful if it would ever install that update. Every time it lets me know I let the notification open the app only to see absolutely nothing happen ever, with the UI either having nowhere to request an update or the feature being hidden ridiculously deep behind some obscure path.

Meh. I mean, they push other apps, apps behind paywalls - so the "360 Reality Audio" setup can't be completed without buying a separate app/service. So if you're hoping to check out that feature, open up that wallet. More helpful would be, for example, a "Find My Buds" feature like the JBL Headphones app has. The pale blue color of my WF-C510s means if one makes it to the beige or white bedding or floor, it vanishes into thin air for a while. Overall, bearable and mildly abysmal.

Not sure if it's the latest Android update or app update but now the controls do not work for controlling YouTube music. I can tap once to stop but not play and the double tap to skip does not work. It's kind of a useless app now for an expensive headset. The only way my headset works now is to uninstall this app, which makes the features of the headset useless. It's still broken after the recent update.
