They have messed it up. If it's not broken, don't fix it; you have to fix it to make it better. On the old app, you could turn off the speaker completely and now, with this one, it only goes on standby. Also, they have removed the equaliser turn-off button, which was useful for me late at night to reduce the bass.
When the app is working, everything is great! The lower review is the amount of errors this updated app has compared to the original. Every so often, the app doesn't find the speakers even though they were just used a few days before. Then it requires speakers to be turned off, reset, then reset the app, see if it finds them again. Then miraculously, it remembers the speakers after a couple tries and works like normal again. This issue never happened with the original app before this updated one
it don't let me go on it :/ :{
good product
absolutely f@#$n amazing
it would be nice if you could change the volume of each speaker in a party independently. or change which connected speaker is the host. other than that it's nice
This app is not that smooth as JBL Portable. sometimes works fine, sometimes not responding properly and completely stops working in background. Needs a lot of fixes and improvements.
great
nice app
great

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
