So poorly designed its hard to imagine

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.
