Basic app that does what it is created to do. I when I first got this soundbar a couple of years ago, I did have issues with the app and bar connecting to Wi-Fi and Google home connection was wonky. I but eventually it worked after a few times. When I had to reset the bar (because it had audio connection/lag) the setup worked fine afterward.

Not very useful. App was able to find my JBL Bar 5.1 Surround. It seemed stuck for a while, luckily I was watching the display on the soundbar and figured it was updating the firmware. App also let me add the soundbar to my Alexa speakers. But that's about it, app doesn't let me control the soundbar in any way - volume, settings... nothing. So, as its name says, only useful for setup.

Pointless app. Will ask to connect to the bar when connected to a network, but will ask to connect to a network when connected to the bar. It loops like this.

This app is broken junk. It gets stuck in a loop trying to connect to the JBL speaker Wi-Fi and won't proceed with set-up. I bought the soundbar a year ago and couldn't get it to work then either. I just revisited it and got the same results.
