Philips AirStudio

★★★★★ Great a3 Totally love the new wireless speaker and this app. great sound and fun.

★★☆☆☆ Rushed Ugly interface, all the buttons are close to each other, the text overshoots the edges of the screen. Very little help with setup; the speaker has three different light colours, the app does not tell you what they are there for. Spotify does not exist in the app despite it being touted as one of the speaker's selling points. all I have now is internet radio, an mp3 connection function and my local files (which us rather temperamental). I might return the speakers despite the hardware being excellent.

★★☆☆☆ App spoils excellent hardware Frequent crashes, Philips support advised reinstall and after two weeks of problems now tell me app is not compatible with my HTC Desire phone nor my Acer A500 tablet. They advised me to buy an iPhone. Sorry Philips. Speakers returned to shop and App about to be removed.

★★☆☆☆ Terrible This app spoils the entire experience. The hardware (A1 hi fi link) works great. However, as the app is in effect the UI, it needs a re-design from the ground up t offer a flawless UX or a decent value proposition, as it is the whole setup is too difficult to use. More detailed points below: - Impossible to stop the "introduction/how to" page from being the default page when you open the app (i only need to see this once, thanks) - The audio router shouldnt be the main focus of the app... the app should be centred around a single media library (from all sources), playlists etc, with the audio in/out router in the settings (with an initial prompt to set up on first use) - All buttons are too small to be useful on screen the size of a phone - Generally, pages load too slowly - App crashes often, and often does not gracefully "die" - it sometimes freezes on a white page with a tiny error shown in top left corner. - It's not really acceptable to have "performance limitations" when you exceed 70 spotify playlists... The app needs to be re-designed. A helpful hint might be to take the redesign cues from the spotify or sonos apps... The app should be redesigned.
