Phorus

This app is absolutely useless

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!

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.

Amazon music works. Apple Music not working, throws file format unsupported error.

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.

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.

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.

Spind is ok. App needs evolution to come close to nowadays standards. I am afraid Play-Fi is being phased out.

Phorus is Uber-compatible with all kinds of music apps and works well with Alexa. It is just so easy to use!

The app just isn’t that stable or easy to set up and then it just stops working. Should be more intuitive
