You can stream your favorite tunes over Wi-Fi right from the Play-Fi app to speakers from DTS Play-Fi product partners. It's a huge step up from Bluetooth - the audio quality and reliability are outstanding, and you can enjoy music from your phone in one room, or all your rooms. The "Hi-Fi over Wi-Fi" listening experience is just a touch away, thanks to this handy app. Choose a speaker, choose a song, and your favorite tunes are streaming all through the house. The app offers built-in streaming options: stream from worldwide music services; use AM/FM and Internet radio, connect to DLNA servers, or play anything from your device's music library, including your iTunes playlists. The app automatically organizes and indexes the music for you. The app also handles set-up for your speakers, and gives you full control of volume and speaker selection. Choose one, set up speaker groups, or stream to all of them at once. Manage speaker groups for Spotify Connect, too. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have a Play-Fi product from Polk Audio, Definitive Technology or Phorus, please search for and download the custom Play-Fi app for your audio brand. Please also note that the Play-Fi app is companion software to audio products enabled with Play-Fi technology. It is not intended as a stand-alone audio player. ## Phorus Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple125/v4/ff/e5/1c/ffe51cfc-345c-8b4c-c190-2651ab33fa20/mzl.mnxoirwj.jpg/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple115/v4/ce/58/83/ce58833d-daaf-a998-d27d-bec1008c8ce0/mzl.jbfmwavv.jpg/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple115/v4/e5/e4/42/e5e44266-5eb5-e9ce-0a81-7113989c0501/mzl.ghqsepat.jpg/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple125/v4/d9/9e/b7/d99eb75c-abda-0e2c-3bc2-33b71050d4ee/mzl.dxszlyfp.jpg/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple115/v4/55/0e/82/550e821a-1049-a26c-c0ad-087c631cc9cf/mzl.qontjcxo.jpg/640x960.png) ## Phorus Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 138 (69%) - 4 stars: 33 (17%) - 3 stars: 19 (10%) - 2 stars: 4 (2%) - 1 stars: 6 (3%) ## Phorus Reviews in United States ### *---- "Garbage" This app is absolutely useless -- nh2021, 2024-05-14 ### *---- "Support non-existent" I used this app to play Amazon music and Pandora with their PR5 receiver. Was working well until the last firmware update. Now I can’t connect, nor can I reset the receiver to a factory state again. It is just bricked. Tried to contact Phorus support multiple times without hearing anything back. Frustrating! -- huntmaestro, 2021-10-02 ### *---- "Really bad at managing devices" I got over it when it was tedious and required several restarts to bring my devices online in the first place, but the latest update *forced* me to update devices which are already working... And now it can't find them because apparently it loaded bad firmware? They no longer show up in Spotify either. The Play Fi team apparently needs some capable developers. -- Lathejockey81, 2021-02-07 ### ****- "Apple Music not working" Amazon music works. Apple Music not working, throws file format unsupported error. -- naveen__, 2020-12-06 ### *---- "Always stuttering and stopping" It seems that without updates the speakers are always giving issues. They keep pausing the music and stopping. I have troubleshooted and the issue is not my wifi it is with the speaker. Usually after an update the problem goes away, but the issue seems to be that updates are always late! I cannot depend on your speakers at all. I may have to switch to Sonos. -- Lee478193, 2020-10-10 ### ***-- "Works well has a few issues" It works well but has a few issues with Spotify. Can’t use any of the playback controls like the equalizer and the cross fade function. AIRPLAY just doesn’t work, skips 3 seconds out of every 30. -- nathanc03, 2020-07-26 ### ***-- "Update not so “up”" I just recently updated my phorus speakers and the app (Jun 3 ‘20). The system worked great before the update, but since updating, there are constant “skips” or momentary loss of signal. Funny because the update was to enhance the streaming of music within the app. It’s not my system either, like I said it worked great before and also my speakers work seamlessly when I use airplay. Please fix the update or send out a re-update of the previous app which worked great. -- Hops10_, 2020-06-04 ### ***** "Please fix outages and delay" Spind is ok. App needs evolution to come close to nowadays standards. I am afraid Play-Fi is being phased out. -- AudiophilePlus, 2020-05-18 ### ***** "Versatile and easy" Phorus is Uber-compatible with all kinds of music apps and works well with Alexa. It is just so easy to use! -- Mark Grgurich, 2020-04-11 ### **--- "Unreliable" The app just isn’t that stable or easy to set up and then it just stops working. Should be more intuitive -- alvingator, 2020-03-21 ### ***-- "Good but needs improvement" This app works relatively well, reliable, but the menu is not intuitive.and difficult to get back to radio favorite stations. -- spv66, 2019-10-07 ### *---- "Used to work...now it doesn’t." This app doesn’t work with the latest version of iOS, and may not work at all besides. I used to be able to play music from my DNLA server and my iPhone, but now all I can do is browse my library, because I get ‘this file is unsupported’ errors all day long. -- MikeHPhys, 2018-12-29 ### ***** "Just awesome." The new app update is just amazing.. -- CoolAmi, 2015-10-22 ### *---- "Poor 'update'" Terrible 'update' a couple weeks ago. I see why market share is so small if they can push such a difficult to navigate app. Makes me want to return all 9 speakers. Please fix this! -- User551240101, 2015-10-15 ### *---- "Current version=terrible" Please fix the bugs. I can't listen to it since I was forced to update new version without thinking that I'm listening to a faraway radio station or a scratched up LP -- Barbarossa-dawg, 2015-09-14 ### *---- "Latest update problems" With update can't get more than two devices PR1s and PS1s working at a time. Also some device not working at all. Please fix! -- Littlerara, 2015-07-03 ### ***** "Brilliant" Simple Setup + Fantastic Features + Awesome Audio = Completely Captivated Customer -- Cragganmore, 2014-09-05 ### ***** "Took me a while to see what this speaker can do." I’m a Mac user since 89. Now this speaker brings more than any I’ve seen. Perfect for me. -- Sailmker, 2014-03-29 ### ***** "Sounds great" Love the synchronized audio in my family room and bedroom. Easy to setup. -- AudioGuyNYC, 2013-10-05 [View all Phorus reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Phorus Discovered Keywords - play-fi ## Apps Similar to Phorus - [mconnect Player Lite](https://apptail.io/app/mconnect-player-lite-Hec/united-states) - [Play-Fi](https://apptail.io/app/play-fi-tre/united-states) - [Wi-Fi Music](https://apptail.io/app/wi-fi-music-owv/united-states) - [Audirvāna Remote](https://apptail.io/app/audirvana-remote-sEJ/united-states) - [mconnect control](https://apptail.io/app/mconnect-control-zEJ/united-states) - [Klipsch Connect](https://apptail.io/app/klipsch-connect-dxwb/united-states) - [Klipsch Stream](https://apptail.io/app/klipsch-stream-IAEc/united-states) - [Play-Fi Headphones](https://apptail.io/app/play-fi-headphones-LAEc/united-states) - [JPLAY](https://apptail.io/app/jplay-OYbe/united-states) - [Klipsch Connect Plus](https://apptail.io/app/klipsch-connect-plus-EAxp/united-states) ## Phorus Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/united-states) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/taiwan) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/canada) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/united-kingdom) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/italy) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/germany) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/hong-kong) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/france) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/new-zealand) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/spain) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/phorus-MLd/australia) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
