Philips DockStudio App Reviews

Great app but needs improvement

Great features, love the built-in TuneIn radio. Couple of suggestions, not sure if others find the same, hopefully you guys can incorporate them in the future release. - Please adjust the brightness even lower than the lowests settings. I have purchased the Philips alarm speaker dock, and its right beside my bed. Even lowest settings is still too bright. - Why cant we set radio as the wake up sound? While it has ability to choose ipod music, why not radio too? - Please have more clock face option or theme, dont get me wrong, I love the current one, provide more options would be a nice feature. - More customizations. ie. ability to adjust snooze timer, make the Snooze button bigger...etc.

Still Buggy

You have to make sure you shutdown all other apps before docking. Will sometimes revert to full volume, nice. Sometimes charges my sometimes doesnt.

Not great for audiobooks

I downloaded this app so I could listen to books while driving. The only problems I have are that you cant go back to repeat something you may not have heard the first time AND EVEN WORSE, it occasionally starts over at the beginning and you cant advance to where you left off. It would be a great app if these two things were fixed.

Great! But

I download this app today, and I am enjoying it so far, but there is a few things that is needed which I hope will be fix with an update. You cant preset the stations,

Awesome

Surprisingly (really) good sound quality on the fidelio.. App works seamlessly with the unit I got for Christmas yesterday.. Obviously since thats what the app was designed for. For the brainiacs trying to use this app with anything but the Fidelio system - ..really? Read the app description before you download, install and give your baseless one or two star review for an app that clearly wasnt meant for you. Thank you Philips people for making the iPod dock and this app.

Wonderful, amazing, perfect,

The list of positive qualities could go on an on, but, the fa t is that there are NO negative qualities!! I love this app, it turns a regular docking station into much, much, more! Its a must for anyone with this device, its an amazing alarm clock with a great sleep function, I love how it connects all my playlists too! 10/5 stars!!!

In theory - good, but app is v buggy

I like a lot of the functions that this offers, especially the auto sync, sound quality and the local radio stations. My problem with this is that the alarm is completely untrustworthy. The app often crashes after Ive gone to sleep so the alarm doesnt work. I have no way to predict when it will work and when it wont. Ive tried shutting down all other apps and that does not solve the problem. Hoping this is resolved with subsequent versions. Until then I will have I get another alarm clock.

Great!!!

This app is wonderfull I can listen to all my favorite music. My dad showed me this app and after I uploaded it I an allways playing my music and looking at the clock!!!

Not so nice app, crash all the time.

Not so nice app, crash all the time.

Nice app but crashes all the time

Often the controls lock up and you have to switch apps to the Apple Music player to get the music started. App crashes at night making the alarm useless since upgrading. Alarm doesnt work 9 times out of 10 so totally unreliable even when having app in foreground when going to sleep.

Awful update ruined app

My congratulations to Philips on producing the worst app Ive ever used. Ever since updating to DockStudio, the alarm function doesnt work and my docking speaker is now a useless ornament on my dresser. I also cant find any useful support information on the Philips website. Id give this no stars or negative stars if I possibly could.

Crappy new update

It doesnt work anymore after the latest update 2.2.3, way to go Philips. If IPod is auto locked, alarm will NOT go off!

Glitchy

I just bought this radio/alarm thinking it would be awesome since it is phillips. Right out of the box and app installed started glitching and not playing music. I have to keep closing the app and reopening the music on the ipod and going back into the app with fingers crossed hoping that it works. I am now worried that come tomorrow morning it wont wake me up. It should have a back up built in alarm so if anthing happend like ipod gets knocked out it will still go off as an alarm.

Not too bad

I read the reviews and it seemed so bad! On my iPhone 3G works perfectly never crashed. the only little problem is that if I want that the alarm will start in the morning i cant lock my phone.

useless

This app DOES NOT WORK. I bought it so I could wake up to the song of my choice, but no matter what I do, I get woken up by the sound of church bells. The problem was brought to their attention at least two and a half months ago, and nothing has been fixed. I guess you get what you pay for.

Crappy

It doesnt work!!! It still plays my music but the alarm wont work! Why? No clue! I still like the background but thats about it. It still plays my music so my dock isnt useless. (thank god!!) still app is pretty much garbage.

Wished I could use the remote more

Remote works ok with the default Ipod music app but does not do much with the actual app (i.e. the functionality of the remote decreases with the app). Also had to try 20 times to get the firmware updated (it kept freezing somewhere in the process). Overall the app works ok and the tunein radio was a nice add-in but there is limited functionality with the remote which is what I was looking for. I currently do not use the app since everything it does can be done better with other apps (alarm, playing ipod songs, playing songs from the actaul tunein radio app is easier as well).

Frustrating

I am now unable to play podcasts reliably through my Philips dock station with my iPhone 5. 90% of the time I get a message that the program does not support iPhone. 10% of the time it works.

Doesnt work

Was great for a while. Now I always get an error that this accessory isnt supported..... Frustrating

No more alarm.

Its all pretty now but totally useless. -.- cant set any alarm, only a sleep timer. And no instructions anywhere.
