1 star is too good for this app it is not fit for purpose. Unlike many I actually managed to connect to my soundbar. For a short time. A few days later it can't connect, on the rare occasion I can get it to actually find the soundbar it says WiFi password is incorrect (it isn't). I spent 2 hrs the other day trying to find a solution, there is barely anything online and the most helpful solutions are here in the reviews. The app when working is poor with far too many pages to function well.

It works, sometimes. It's annoying that it doesn't allow for pairing the satellite bought separately, as the remote also works sometimes. Not possible on the soundbar either. Also, the app is very poorly designed. Lots of unnecessary parts and most useful buttons hidden behind several taps.
