Comments on JBL Portable for Android

★★★★★ Amie Damonte · Jun 25, 2026

Great little speaker with the sound quality you expect from JBL

★★★★☆ Moose Moody · Jun 21, 2026

I love the Charge 5, but the app is ONLY about a sound equalizer. Kind of lame. Although it did improve the sound

★★★★☆ MARK CAMPBELL · Jul 4, 2026

Battery life sucks, but otherwise this is a great product. Might get maybe 12 hours of use fully charged, that's the only gripe, otherwise great portable sound, easy connection, can take anywhere you need to play music

★★★★★ Mitchell · Jun 21, 2026

If you're thinking of buying one of these buy one the sound is massive massive massive for something so small you will not believe it the base is big everything is crystal clear the battery life is long the price is fair by one now

★★☆☆☆ MeNow NotThen · Jun 21, 2026

If your boombox 3 is connected to any other device this app is useless. Even without other connections it's next too useless.

★★☆☆☆ Vicki Abbott · Jul 3, 2026

I have a JBL Extreme. I downloaded this app to find an equalizer to adjust the bass on the speaker. There is no equalizer in the app. What app would give me a usable equalizer?

★☆☆☆☆ Dakota Stulp · Jun 29, 2026

Doesn't work anymore. I have a Boombox 3, and it used to connect for the equalizer and battery percentage. Now it won't connect until I unpair it each time.

★☆☆☆☆ Tom Palkovic · Jun 24, 2026

My phone is connected to JBL Charge 6 via BT, I'm even listening to music out of the speaker, but this app can't find it. Garbage!
