Well Sony, new phone and the app can't find the licence agreement and I can't skip that step. So, I'm 'locked out' until you fix this. I don't care about your license, I just want to change the equalizer. In your insistance to present the agreement in real-time, you are letting customers down. Either ensure 100% uptime of the licensing server, or use a stored copy.

overall the app sort of works as expected, a more accurate depiction is when you get it to work, it's great, but otherwise it's a painful process to get multiple speakers connected, in sync, and stay that way. We often experience one speaker will connect and the others won't or 2 speakers connect but the third won't. Additionally, the app is very slow/delayed (2-5 minutes) to load, connect, or respond when connecting or configuring settings. This happens on both Android and iPhone versions.

This app is great and everything I just wish you can do a little more with the XB-41 and XB-31's lights. However, I have this huge problem with this app. When I connect any other bluetooth device to my phone, it disables the sound completely on my bluetooth device for some reason. Even on my wired earbuds sometimes as well. I don't know why it is but I've made sure it was this app that was causing it. I have to the go on my bluetooth settings and turn off media sound and back on for it to work.
