User Reviews

End-user reviews show a split: a subset find the Brennan iOS app visually appealing and capable for playing Brennan content (CDs, streaming radio, YouTube) and using the iPhone as the primary control, with solid accessibility options. However, a large share report persistent connectivity problems, frequent crashes, and difficult UI/navigation, including device discovery failures and inconsistent performance across iPad/iPhone/other devices. The core issue is reliability: the app often fails to stay connected to Brennan hardware and respond to basic commands, overshadowing its potential as a feature-rich control interface and accessibility aid.

Pros

Great for playing Brennan content (CDs, streaming radio, YouTube) and for browsing CDs on the B2 with cover art.
Serves as the primary control interface for Brennan B2 for many users.
Visually attractive mobile app and regarded as the best Brennan mobile app.
Accessibility support via voice control helps users with disabilities.
Overall features and functionality are strong for many users.

Cons

Persistent connectivity problems: the app frequently fails to connect to Brennan devices (B2/B3) and drops connections.
Frequent crashes, freezes, and lockups on multiple devices.
Clumsy, unreliable UI and navigation; inconsistent front-end experience.
Device discovery issues: can't reliably find Brennan devices even on the same network.
Partial playback control issues: pausing/stopping and input switching often don’t work as expected.

Having issues with the app, does not look anything like the adds. The unit looks great, but does not do a darn thing. Connects to Sonos but cuts out. Worst 700.00 dollars I have ever spent.

This thing has got to have the absolutely worst software interface. I’ve been at it all day trying to get this to find my Sonos speakers all for nothing. The people that are supposed to be providing support just repeat the issue that I’m having without instructing how to fix it. This is an awesome idea but I don’t think it’s ready for prime time. Not everyone that purchases it is an IT expert. For the price of this thing it should be plug and play.

App could be better. It’s not accepting when changing speaker input from Brennan speaker( home theater speakers) to Sonos speakers. Keeps playing and unable to pause or stop from app.
