I read the negative reviews about this app, but it works as expected on my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. No Bluetooth connectivity issues at all. The app connects every time. Room EQ works with my phone's built-in microphone. Only thing is that the app always takes 8 measurements, no matter which setup you choose. There's no way to stop after 3 measurements, for example. I also wish I could set the auto power-off time; 20 minutes is quite a long time. Overall, very happy with my purchase of the DB3D.

Every time I want to change my subwoofers settings, I have to: 1. Unpair them from Bluetooth menu 2. Open up Db subwoofer settings and clear cache and data 3. Uninstall the app 4. Reboot the phone 5. Reinstall the app 6. Then I can connect to each of my subwoofers once to change the settings. If I want to change them again, I have to start back at step 1. It's pretty frustrating because when I first got the sub a few years ago it used to work without issue. sub f/w 6.26.44.101

Hi Michael, thanks for your feedback; we're very sorry to hear of the issues you have described. If BT-le communications are interrupted; the 1st. port of call would always be a re-boot of the phone. For more specific advice, please contact us directly, through support@bowerswilkins.com. Many thanks, Bowers & Wilkins.

I understand that Pixel phones should be supported for room EQ, mine is a Pixel 2. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I've tried full shutdown and reboot and I've gone so far as to clear the app cache, but room EQ just won't work. Any reason why a Pixel 2 won't work? The rest of the app works fine.

Hi Richard, thanks for your review, the Room EQ function is only compatible with the following devices: Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 Edge and S8; Google Pixel. More devices will be added over time, but it's very time consuming. A suggestion is to borrow a compatible handset. For anything else, please email support@bowerswilkins.com, Thank you
