JBL OnBeat App Reviews

Pas equaliseur ?? Amélioration iphone 5

Great app/dock except in one thing.... The alarm clock functionality is useless as it doesnt wake the dock from standby mode and therefore defeats the purpose of using it as an alarm clock because no sound comes out of the dock unless you manually wake up the dock...VERY DISAPOINTED, love the dock and the sound but will have to return this dock unless this gets fixed in the app, its unusable for alarm clock...will update rating if this gets fixed.

I downloaded this app in hopes that it might enable a firmware update on my SoundFly Air devices, since those instructions are absent from the user manual. No such luck. Not sure what purpose this app serves at all.

I have a Jbl on beat extreme Programme eq setting damaged with last update . Music sleep timer big deficiency Programme developed

I downloaded the app to find s way to connect my JPL Soundfly Air to my phone. The instructions were absolutely lame to say it nice. So I had to follow the manual to connect to it. The manual is going through the steps properly. However, the software portal does not allow the user to type the wireless SSID manually (I have my network SSID hidden). You can only select from the listed networks. I dont want to make my wireless network ID visible. The bottom line: avoid JBL product (hardware and App) all together.

Just moved home and changed wifi, the app cannot be used in the new iOS on iPhone 6 Plus. In the drop down Manu try to choose my new wifi, click it, no response. No way to connect to wifi again.

Nice app. Although it does do anything more than iTunes has to offer. Its hard to organize your playlist/music. I do not recommend it.

I bought the onbeat to replace my clock radio for my IPad. Unfortunately, none of the nightstand/alarm clock apps (including this one) has the ability to wake the speakers from sleep mode, which the on beat automatically goes into. This prevents from the alarm being loud enough and waking me up. So please, JBL, fix this so that it will wake your speakers with the alarm! and I will be glad to give it the full 5 stars

Im a DJ that needs a loud alarm clock and was hoping to use the on beat with iPad to get me up....please jbl allow the speakers to wake up to wake me up.

Someone was asleep-at-the-wheel when they went over the features for the OnBeat speaker dock. It has its own auto-lock feature and it overrides that which is set in your iOS device. Im surprised Apple let this product display the approved for iPhone badge. Many, if not most, would use a speaker dock primarily as a charging station and alarm clock -- but the JBL OnBeat overrides any autolock settings in place on the device and puts it to sleep after 10 minutes. To make matter worse, system events like alarm sounds dont wake up the speakers. The JBL OnBeat is fairly useless, and again, how could Apple let a product like this bear its stamp-of-approval...?!?! :(

Someone must have been asleep! And it was me!!!!!! Because I overslept twice thinking I missed my alarm, when it was plugged into my brand new JBL OnBeat recharging and speaker system. None of my alarm clock music apps work because of the JBL OnBeat’s auto off which turns off all music feeds after 10 minutes of none use, like when I’m asleep, duh!!. Can you say Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!!!!! I cannot call this a design flaw, because it is obviously a throw together before the holiday rush for sales!!!! Corporate dummies at the highest level of incompetence and greed!!!! This app and the products which bear its name are both disasters and should not be purchased or used even if it is free!!! I bought the system to be a night stand musical alarm clock, but not one musical alarm clock app works when plugged in, including this app by Harlan JBL. It’s for the birds, like the ones you cannot hear once this app goes off and it’s plugged into an OnBeat recharging because of their auto-off. Did I say the auto shut off even kills this JBL app’s bird twitting alarm when it is plugged in to the OnBeat recharger. Can you say what a waste of money, time and effort? This app and the systems it is intended for must be a Joke! Joke! Joke!!! Stay away until they post an official apology and change the firmware for all past products. I work hard to earn my money and obviously, they didn’t bother to work on this product before release. Don’t get Beat up On this app or the products carrying its name. I believe they used the same name to confuse people and make the product sound like something it cannot deliver, intelligent cooperates. Yah you Beat me up On this one. I wont of even give this 1 star, but I had to enter something.

Advertised as an alarm clock for the jbl onbeat system.... however, if you dont have audio playing at least every 10 minutes the jbl onbeat system goes to sleep and will not wake up when the alarm goes off.... so yea great alarm clock if you plan on waking up every 10 minutes throughout the night....

Like other people I purchased the dock so I can use my iPad or iPhone as an alarm as well as watch movies or listen to music. Pointless when the speakers switch off but also override your devices sound too. Note on your website none of your "commonly" asked FAQs mention this utterly ridiculous dilemma. Please address, other than this the sound is so good it is such a shame.

Wow! What a pain to set up all my devices. All other reviews are correct, there web page is a pain in the butt to get to when your allowed. This app needs reworked to be a little more user friendly. The dock itself has a good sound and its a great idea JBL has come out with using the air play technology. But there app needs some help. Im very glad I got this on Woot for $80.00. I would already be back at the store if I had to pay full price.

Worked flawlessly with my new JBL Soundfly Air

I say its great an in plus jbl is my favorite wrestler

Waste of money. Adds no value, and building a product manual into an app is not adding value.

I recently got a JBL Soundfly Air, and for the sake of comparison Im an IT professional and also own Sony SAN-NS airplay speakers and their companion app too. In the end, I got it set up, but I just want to lay out a few things here with the hopes that JBL/Harman ever reads these. 1. Why try to replicate the iOS music player functionality by layering your own garbage over it? This app should do stuff not already built into the phone. 2. The pairing setup is a joke, you most hold your iPhone in landscape mode to read it, and it forces you to use a re-formatted browser page within its own app instead of something simpler and quicker built into a real app. 3. I can adjust some make believe setting called "3D music" from the app, though I cannot do something simple like EQ settings. 4. The app/setup webpage have no built in way to query for a firmware update for the device (and the link on the web is dead). 5. One of the four tabs of the app is a link to a (not even easy to navigate) listing of other JBL products. . .try worrying about the one I already bought before trying to sell me more. 6. Cannot check/adjust settings of the speaker (with the exception of "3D effect") from the app. Useless garbage for a device that is mediocre at best on its own.

Ive always held JBL to a higher standards. This app is just terrible. the setup to connect to the wifi network doesnt work. the screen appears when you touch the setup button. I can only use it while connected to the base. support is nonexistent. better buy Sony if you want the wireless feature.

Im giving this one star because you made an effort to create this App but no stars for its functionality or the freezing up and knocking me out of the app completely, I love my Onbeat Xtreme it plays flawlessly to bad I cant say the same for the app, back to the drawing board JBL!!
