Ratings and reviews

Update: still annoying about speech recognition. Does it all the time even though it's off. I've signed in to save and still doesnt. Almost makes headphones unusable. Honestly seems like a solid app except it never saves my settings. It constantly tries to enable the speech feature when I continually turn it off. Super frustrating when you're at the gym or anywhere where there's any sound. For all this technology, you think you'd be able to save a setting.

I love my Sony headphones, but this app is quite buggy. I typically have two devices hooked up to the headphones at a time, and when I lock the mic/speakers to one of the devices, it will switch to the other one automatically if there is a notification and will not return to the one I "locked" the headphones to. It also won't let me switch back manually, as it says it cannot switch devices during a call, even though it just did. Very frustrating when a really good feature doesn't work at all!

The app is generally fine. Does everything it should. It also has the bloat you've come to expect from these kinds of apps. Why would I care about an achievement for listening with my earbuds? What marketing intern came up with that slam dunk? I wish I could opt out of like half the app. It's been so much easier to use. There's so much going on that it makes it hard to sift through the noise.
