Hi-Fly FAQ
Is Hi-Fly free?
Yes, Hi-Fly is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Hi-Fly legit?
🤔 The Hi-Fly app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I came here to look for other people’s reviews on this app but saw there was only one?! Surprising considering the apps been out for ages. I did notice that the last update was done a year ago though.
I bought a couple of the WBA31 audio receivers to trial to hopefully buy more of for home audio distribution.
I do have a few Sonos speakers and a Connect and was hoping to expand in the Dayton gear instead.
The WBA’s work ok once I could finally get them connected to my wifi. I needed to join the same network as the unit itself via the WAP and then point the unit to the network I wanted it to join to.
I find that the devices are a little slow to be “found” once you close then open the app.
There are times when one of the devices just drops off the network.
The app controller doesn’t have any EQ control.
The balance between left, right and stereo doesn’t seem to make a difference which is annoying as I run each channel into separate speakers and want to control them individually.
The app does a fairly good job of controls and looks but it definitely doesn’t compare to other controllers unfortunately.
Bugs
The app won’t let me link rooms together and also has difficulty turning the volume up and down at times
It works
Props to Dayton audio for building these apps for so many products and actually having them work (cough cough KEF)
Worst sound system ever
This app don’t do nothing with all the hype.tried connecting it but it don’t stay longer and sometimes it don’t connect at all.what a waste of technology
Doesn’t stay connected to Wi-Fi or reconnect very well at all
This came in my apartment. It doesn’t connect to the Wi-Fi very well. It’s not like something you can just open the app and play music unfortunately. Sometimes it’ll connect but usually not. Sometimes it’ll connect a few hours later and you know because it announces over the speakers the Wi-Fi is connected. Sometimes you try to connect and it won’t and then three or four days later you’ll get the announcement that it’s connected.
Needs a revamp
It works as advertised but sometimes need to swap the “master” and “slave” units to get the effect of whole home audio. Furthermore, the app interface is VERY poky and it makes joining zones annoying because sometimes it times out. I have one amplified module and one non amplified and am adding a stand-alone AERO speaker next week to test further capabilities. Granted it is much more cost effective than a SONOS setup but that interface is much less buggy and integrates much better with different streaming services. Better support for pandora is hopefully coming in future releases of the app???
Dayton WBA31
Was a bit confusing to set up at first, most likely user error. Works as intended. It did crash on me the first 10mins of installing. Pairs well w Spotify but you have to go to Spotify itself to add the device, not the app. Some people might not recognize that workaround.
Recent problem
The app, while not perfect, was sufficient to run the two Dayton Audio devices we have for two years and streamed from internet radio and a local DLNA server. The devices themselves are great. Recently we updated our network and now the app can no connect to multiple DLNA servers that are present on the network. It only detects one. I have used another app (VLC) and can see both servers. Using VLC, I can stream to both devices from either server. The Dayton Audio website seems to be “under maintenance” for several weeks and there is no response from to emails.
So Far Okay
So I’m using this as I assume most are, with Dayton Audio products. In this case, I am using the WFA WiFi Multiroom adapters. I have three.
Firstly, I found it was much better to have them near the router if you are to use the wireless feature. I had one in the kitchen near a wall plate amp running my kitchen speakers and it would cut out frequently. Always best to use wired but in this case I needed room on my router for other, more critical components. Setup is pretty easy but ran into a few snafus like accidentally naming two of the the same name, which causes it to show two devices with the same name. Controlling either mimics the same on the other device, so not a deal breaker but I can’t figure out how to get it to show just one of each. So far it seems to work well but I need more time with it.
It really needs to have Amazon Alexa functionality. I can’t see them ignoring this on later releases. Also, the ability to save and name groups of devices, i.e. “inside” for my living room and kitchen or “whole house” to include the pool. Having to drag and drop the same sets of devices over and over gets old.
Whole home audio!
I am using 6 different hi-fly products from Dayton Audio. I love that I can group everything together and play in syncs to the whole house, patio and workshop at once. The fact that they support AirPlay let’s me stream any source that my phone is playing. The line in jack can be streamed to other zones as well, this is nice for when I want to stream the bedroom tv to the bathroom Aero speaker while getting ready in the mornings. I can still listen to the news and weather while showering.
