User Reviews

The Sony BRAVIA Connect iOS app is valued for letting users control the TV from their phone and for Bluetooth music playback with many features. However, users repeatedly report instability: frequent disconnections, reliance on resets/re-pairing, login friction, privacy concerns, and breakages after TV firmware updates. The app is also slow to load and can hang, and the initial setup can be lengthy and error-prone. Overall, stability and onboarding improvements are the main user pain points.

Pros

Let users use their phone as a remote with extensive TV controls.
Parallels the physical remote and TV settings; supports Bluetooth music playback.
Offers a range of features to refine the viewing experience.

Cons

Unreliable connectivity: the app frequently disconnects and won’t stay connected, often requiring resets or re-pairing.
Sign-in friction and privacy concerns: lengthy sign-in process and credentials issues; some users worry about data sharing.
After TV firmware updates, the app often breaks or loses connection.
Slow performance and occasional hangs or loading delays (busy icon).
Setup is time-consuming and can require days to get fully working, with repeated reinstalls.

Recent reviews

After the last TV software update, I have to reboot the tv all the time to get the app to connect.

Terrible no-frills software. That basically ruins a potentially good sounding sound bar and sub. An actual equalizer would go a long ways, but I guess it would break the Bank of a little Mom and Pop outfit like Sony.
