The app is useless. It couldn't find my JBL Go 4 even though it was connected to my Bluetooth with the music playing. I gave the app permission to discover nearby devices and everything that's needed. Went through the steps of disconnecting, unpairing, forgetting the device, and then reconnecting, but still nothing. I expected more from such a well-known brand to be able to connect with their own devices through a Samsung S23 phone. No reason at all not to work properly. I'm tech-savvy, too.

there have been lots of improvements and features added to this app over all the years I've been using it and that's great! one thing that drives me crazy is that if I try to go back into the app a little while later after playing music to any of my speakers it acts like it can't connect to it when it's literally the only Bluetooth device already connected. that has never been fixed in a software update and it makes the app basically unless the first thing you do is open it up after pairing.

Having been reluctantly forced to abandon my quarter+ century-old frankensteined portable discman with jury-rigged speakers arrangement after it gave up the ghost, and since nobody manufactures boom-boxes anymore, I instead decided upon a slightly smaller, wireless contraption and subsequently purchased a JBL Clip5. Nice sound, deep and rich. And, as long as I remember to charge it, usually lasts 6-8hrs at medium volume. Doesn't like to charge well on anything other than what came in the box.
