Simple

This app has come so far since previous versions. It was dead simple to set-up my Zeppelin Air.

Very nice and easy app

Smooth process and clear instructions- well done!

Simple via iPad

This app is best used on an iPad. The instructions are simple, but does require you to switch between apps once or twice.

Easier than previous version

Easy, quick and simple!

Reinstall

The problem is that I have to reset the speaker if I dont use it for a couple of days, I resetted it last night and had to do it again this morning, its getting very annoying. Can not use it on my Mac Book or IMac outside Itunes.

Does well what its designed for.

Simple, straight forward and quick. Does what it needs to.

Really helpful

Easy to understand and I was set up in 5 min.

Easy Peasy

Great app. Works as advertised. Got my A7 set up in 3 minutes.

Simple Setup

The Zeppelin was up and running within 5 minutes. Clear and concise instructions.

Flawless and simple

Works as it should.

Ease of use

The app makes set up a breeze. The alternative requires a lot of desktop setup with your Mac or PC. Save yourself sometime and get this app.

Needs to stop crashing

When it works its great...but it is far from working always....

Makes set up a snap

Easy to follow walk through for Zepp Air:)

No very explicit firmware description

Please provide a complete list of fix and improvement. The last firmware was buggy and I will not update until I know more about what was fixed. 1- Is long complex password is fixed? 2- is Airplay drop is fixed? 3- Are you now supporting peer-to-peer Airplay from iOS8?

Just doesnt work most of the time

The speaker sounds great but from a technical perspective it has never really worked. This app is never able to connect to the device, even when AirPlay connectivity to the device works (which also only works maybe 50% of the time). If I reset the device it will find it and I can run through the setup process, but once Im done it is once again just totally in reachable. The technical aspects, and this app in particular, make the hardware basically a waste of money.

Great sound, shame about the flakey software

Its a good little speaker, the A5, but the wifi/firmware/app combo isnt great. Bower&Wilkins are clearly good at hardware, but they need to improve in the software felt.

Worst software ever!

Have an a7 and a z2. Have been back and forth with support over and over. Get one to work, other stops. Finally had to connect with Ethernet which defeats purpose. What a shame as speakers sound great but they perform to half of intended use.

Bowers & Wilkins. A5

Set up is very easy and fast. I found the instructions helpful and accurate. Of course the sound of the A5 is amazing for such a small unit. Better than Bose!

Simple setup

Simple set up to a very solid speaker!

Dont update

I installed the new version of the app and its the third time I need to reconnect my A5 to my internet connection! It doest stay more then 30 minutes or so! Quite annoying!
