## Review summary

Users consistently report that the Beats Pill⁺ app won’t connect to newer Pill models, crashes at startup, and fails to pair even when Bluetooth is active. The app is described as outdated with few features (no EQ, no on/off control) and poor support, making firmware updates and stereo pairing unreliable. While the Pill hardware is praised for sound in some reviews, current feedback centers on connectivity and usability problems, including unclear cross-platform compatibility. Overall, the app currently renders the device much less usable than expected.

### Pros

- Beats Pill hardware delivers strong sound quality.
- Historically, the app offered decent control of the speaker when functioning.

### Cons

- Incompatibility with newer Beats Pill models, causing the app not to work.
- App cannot connect or pair with the Pill, even when Bluetooth is active.
- App crashes on startup/loading screen.
- App lacks essential features (no EQ, no on/off control) and has limited controls.
- Stereo/pairing across multiple Pill devices is not functioning and not well supported.
