## Sony Reviews in United States

### *---- "Not able to connect to all as advertised"
Easily connected to my K85XR90 Not to my XR 83A80L
-- Clingpeach, 2025-01-02

### *---- "Why does this app not work with Sony A7000 7.1.2 Sound bar and associated speakers?"
Can’t find my sound bar or Sony subwoofer SW-5 or rear speakers RS5
-- Pixelwizard, 2024-12-29

### *---- "Needs a keyboard. Otherwise the app is meaningless"
Same function as the original remote, different interface Adds no value. Adds confusion.
-- Haohao183, 2024-12-28

### ***** "📺🎥🍿"
Sony is the best Ever ✌️😎
-- Wudd30, 2024-12-27

### *---- "Bravia Connect"
Random connection issues
-- AP Dad, 2024-12-23

### *---- "This app is horrible!"
I don’t recommend this app to anyone! Everyday you need to reconnect it to your TV and the Sound Bar! Total garbage!!! The TV and sound bar I bought both look and sound great, but are useless without the app and the app is total garbage!!! The remotes sold with both are limited as to what they can do, so they force you to use this garbage app! Buy Samsung never had one problem ever with their equipment or app!!! I’m stuck with this garbage now! Don’t make the same mistake I made! You’ve been warned!
-- High Voltage Man, 2024-12-16

### *---- "Latest update broken"
Had no issues setting up Bravia 7 tv Bravia 8 sound bar  subwoofer 
Went to add rear speakers and the whole system and app broke 
Got nothing but error messages and wouldn’t connect 

Checked the router and sound bar was logged into WiFi but app wouldn’t register the speaker or the tv 

Reset the router and WiFi

Reset the tv and sound bar 

Everything’s broke and rear speakers still not installed
-- 5384seba, 2024-12-06

### *---- "Not worth the cost"
I tried this & it’s not a good fit for a brand new Samsung TV.  It wouldn’t stay connected.  The rear speakers were so low I couldn’t hear them & they were on Max.  It’s just not worth the cost.  Bravia is for Sony & nothing else.  I’m taking it back.  Bought on Black Friday deal so I guess I’ll wait a year to get the system built for a Samsung.
-- imTron, 2024-12-05

### *---- "Sony"
Sony could have made set much easier. Especially with the amount of money you spend on their stuff
-- Lynn025, 2024-12-04

### *---- "Terrible Connectivity"
I have a Sony Bravia 9 TV. I bought the hoping it would work seemlessly. Sounds great, if you can get it connected and keep it connected. The app is horrible, and setup takes a lot longer than it should because of it. On top of that it loses connection frequently and requires set up again. I would expect plug and play for the price. Going back tomorrow. I’ll find another option.
-- Terrible all around., 2024-12-02

### *---- "Buggy"
Very finicky.   Can’t get sound bar to properly register.  Known problems according to Sony tech support.
-- EsteroRich, 2024-12-02

### *---- "So low tech"
Come on Sony.  2024 and you write a manual that may as well be in Latin.  The remote app is terrible and so hard to use.  What a terrible app.
-- Jesse-Michael22, 2024-11-30

### *---- "Unreliable status and connectivity to the TV"
Title says it all
-- rpn dude, 2024-11-28

### *---- "Won’t connect; iOS 18.1.1, X90L"
Straight up non-functional; checked all permissions, rebooted phone and TV, does exactly nothing.
-- Spoonhandle, 2024-11-28

### *---- "Worst user interface"
For a product at this price point a seamless setup experience is a requirement. Sony you fail miserably!!! If you are incapable of delivering on WIFI setup we all would be better served if you stuck with Bluetooth only.  Sony you should be ashamed for rolling out such terrible user experience
-- Marcos000001, 2024-11-26

### *---- "Paul"
Your app requires you to log in because you can't create an account, but I don't have an account, so I'm going to delete it. Thank you very much.
-- PaulRUK2030, 2024-11-24

### *---- "Stopped working"
No longer allows me to connect to Bravia Theatre Quad. I cannot manage any sound settings or optimize the surround sound since I cannot connect.
-- hrahmed, 2024-11-23

### ***** "Better than Bose"
This thing rocks, I don’t even understand how it’s possible really. “Sound field”? Take it from me, it’s REAL. It WORKS. 

Can’t believe I used to buy Bose.
-- BonerFagKing, 2024-11-20

### **--- "Sony Bravia bar 9 cannot connect after update"
I have a Sony Bravia 8 55 inch Oled TV(2024) and a Sony Bravia theater bar 9 with Sony RS5 rear speaker.  I use this app to setup and connect them. After finish the initial connection and setup on the system. The soundbar device just got disconnected from the app and I cannot connect it back to the app again. The app support does not help at all. I checked my phone Bluetooth settings but this won’t helps. Anyone encounter similar issue?
-- Xybjackie, 2024-11-18

### *---- "Limited Bravia TV support"
Please add support for A80L Series and other 2023 or older Bravia TV models.
-- Sony🤦🏻‍♂️, 2024-11-10
