absolutely useless. The app has successfully connected to the soundbar twice in three months. you are unable to adjust any extra settings because of this. it's paired to a Sony TV as well which also had a faulty motherboard replaced after just three months. basically it's all going to be changed. I won't ever buy Sony again. Don't buy it! it's unusable!

Initial set up with theatre bar 9 easy. Next morning it lost connection with the device. Run through the set up, easily 10 times, and each time I have to download the device files again and it fails to connect. Randomly connected then 20min later, strangely it tells me it's registering the device with my account even though that happened initially and you guessed it, lost connection and have to do the whole thing again. fingers crossed it actually works

Truly awful. In order to use your remote you have to sign in through Sony's clunky, broken sign in method every single time. the sign in method is so badly written that at one point it displays a QR code on your phone screen and expects you to scan it with the camera on the back.
