Complete rubbish!!! Decided to upgrade from the HT-A7000 to the HT-A9000. The ONLY way to set up the HT-A9000 is with this pathetic app. I managed to get it to work twice... now it keeps losing connecting and have to try to do a setup to try and reconnect... which now continually fails. For such a high end sound bar, Sony have the worst app ever and because of that would not recommend either the app or the sound bar.

Worst app I've ever used. Have a BRAVIA 8 TV and Theatre 8 soundbar, so both are compatible with the app. Managed to set both up on my first attempt but after that any other time I have opened the app I cannot connect to either device. Have tried setting up afresh and it has worked a couple of times. Have now tried today and although it recognises the devices, neither will connect. Absolute joke of an app. Give it one star because I couldn't give zero.

Problem Connecting - Note. As I have all my devices connected to the Internet via a VPN, you will have to disable the VPN,which assigns a different IP Address subnet therefore will not be recognised by the App. My biggest problem is bluetooth connections. You have to read the instructions very carefully as once a device is paired AT FIRST STARTUP of the bar, it is difficult to change it later.
