D-Sappli for Negative User Reviews
✓ CRAP!!!None if the sony docks work. I'm on my 2nd one now. Just make it like every other normal dock. Plug whatever phone you have and let it play tunes. I'm using iphone 4. It works on almost every other dock I plug into except sony. Buying a new portable dock today. It's not gonna be a sony today or ever again..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Update neededIt's been over a year Sony, time to step up ur game...please update ur app..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Shocking!Shocking. Resulted in severe battery life deterioration on iPhone 4 which was only resolved when app uninstalled (more than halved battery life)..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Could be much betterThis app works at just a basic level. It will work ok with a Sony alarm clock but it could be improved with even just a bit of common sense. For instance, setting the alarm time can only be done when docked to an alarm clock. How about letting me do this prior to docking without waking my wife who goes to bed earlier. Also, choosing a playlist to wake works as long as no other playlists were paused, otherwise it just continues wherever music has left off. Seems like very very sloppy programming..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Could Be Such A Great App For My DockThe alarm and music timer stop working after a while, which is very disappointing, have to delete and reinstall which doesn't always work. from the reviews it's a common thing. dont trust it to wake me up for work anymore. looks great and simple to use why it got to stars.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Used to be good but needs an updateSince I upgraded to iOS 7.0.6 this app (which used to be pretty good) has stopped functioning. Come on Sony, you need to get it sorted!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Doesn't work at allApp crashes as soon as I try to open it. Please update the app so it can be used with the new iPhone and iOS software!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Device not supportedWhen I first got my Sony radio docking station it worked great and now I think since updating the app I can't charge my iPhone 5, keeps saying device not supported. Sony when will you fix this problem..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Alarm doesn't work the way I would want it toGreat app except I would like to see the alarm function activating my Sony dock the same way the music player does..Version: 1.3.1
✓ I am not happy. Please update ASAPI am receiving a pop up saying "this device is not supported." I have a 4S. I was able to charge my phone for awhile but then it decided to not play music OR charge. Please update ASAP, as I know other users have asked for an update..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Alarm clock yet no alarmUmmmm it works fine then suddenly sends me a message saying the alarm missed by 1 minute. Then you send an upgrade and now there is no alert at all. Please fix or this Sony purchase / app download was a waste of time and money..Version: 1.4.0
✓ ObsoleteOne IOS 11 update and my app is now obsolete, yet I can still buy products that are dependent on the app. Now have to make a new purchase and it certainly won’t be a Sony product..Version: 1.4.0
✓ İt doesnt work!!!!!!!!Deserves zero stars😡.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Please update!!!No music since 6 month. Sony know the problem and they don't update the apply. Never buy Sony products anymore!!!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ D SappliAfter IOS update the phone no longer works with ICF-DS15ip when using D Sappli. Seems Sony isn't interested in updating their software. They blame Apple. Pathetic. Point is my Sony equipment no longer works!!! Sort it out Sony..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Not compatible with iOS 8 😡Not very happy. Went to use it in iOS 8 and it just crashes, please update!!!!!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Time to update app!!!The next update of the Apple iOS will render this app useless unless Sony can update it for use on a more recent version of iOS than version 5. This will render my alarm as virtually useless for what I originally bought it for..Version: 1.4.0
✓ AnnoyedThis is so frustrating. Ever since the new iOS update the docking don't recognize my iPhone! We bought this dock SPECIFICALLY for iPhone! It SPECIFIES iPhone on the box! Time for whoever the techie person is, to fix this update, i can't even use my dock anymore, and of course it's been too long to bring it back! -.- not impressed!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Won't sync after iOS 8.4 updateI have an iPhone 6+ with an older 30 pin alarm. I used the Apple 30 pin to FireWire adapter and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to iOS 8.4 and it no longer synced. After reinstalling it, it works. I docked it before using the app 1st time..Version: 1.4.0
✓ ProblemsTwo problems with this APP that Sony denies is their problems. 1. When docked it disables my "Do Not Disturb" feature on the I-Phone5. And 2nd it does not allow you to select music you desire in the sleep timer. Sony needs to fix these two bugs. Has anyone else experienced the disabling of the "Do Not Disturb" featured when docked? I would like to know..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Clock does not syncHonestly, i dont understand the point of this app. The one benefit i could see, that of it syncing the time on my dock, doesn't even work! It's not intuitive at all, i cant work out how i would use it to play music...pointless as far as I can see.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Not happyThis now does not work with my phone. The app and dock are not compatible anymore. The dock just turns itself off and the alarm doesn't play the music it should. Sony need to sort this when selling the dock! It was great when it worked in the beginning. I've had this for about 6mths and now it is useless..Version: 1.4.0
✓ I'm your customer serviceI wrote a previous review that when I upgraded to the iPhone 6 and IO8, the app would crash when opened. Of course there's nothing by Sony offering anything in the way of customer support so I was ready to just forget it. Then I though just for the hell of it to remove it from my device and then reinstall it. Since doing that, it's been working fine. The app was successful in syncing the phone to the clock radio, and with the iPhone bigger screen, the clock display looks great. The alarm works as advertised too. It's low on frills but it does what it says it's supposed to do. People should read the specifications carefully though. I can't be sure that putting an adapter to connect the clock radio to a non-lightning iPhone will work..Version: 1.4.0
✓ IOS update kills the functionalityPlease fix the issue with the iOS upgrades and functionality to play music from the 30 pin apple products with the Sony dock. I know the iPhone 5 is out with the new Sony dock but not everyone is able to upgrade and purchase These. These phones are an investment for sure. My iPod touch iPhone 3 gs and wife's iPhone 4 and my new iPhone 4S will not work. Surly Sony can work with apple to find out what changed in the os. If apple causes the problem and will not provide a solution. Let your customers know. Maybe even give trade allotment or adapter kit to allow to play I have to use the mic cable but that is not as food quality sound as the dock seemed to create. Please find a resolution for your customers..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Good for Clock/Playback, No Phone or Messaging SupportI love the clock features, and the playback is very good. However, I'm using it with an iPhone, and I expect to hear my ringtones or message alert when I get one. I've missed multiple calls because the clock overrides EVERYTHING having to do with the iPhone capability. I'm looking for another app that will alert me to incoming calls and messages..Version: 1.4.0
✓ IOS update issuesSince the latest iOS updates came out, the app's performance has been spotty in a way it never was before the updates. The app will DISPLAY as if it's sounding the alarm, but the docking station wont play any sound..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Worked until todayThis worked fine for me until today. Now it crashes instead of loading. Luckily the roofers were noisy enough to wake me. An alarm should always work. This must be repaired..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Slowing down my phoneYou guys haven't updated the app since before I had my iPhone 5... the app is actually slowing down my phone. Really disappointed with Sony right now. Also have a song amplifier that is crapping out after a year and a half... what happened to the great products you used to make? Sorry to say it but you have lost a loyal customer here Sony 😔.Version: 1.4.0
✓ UselessCan’t set an alarm when the iPhone isn’t docked. Can’t select music to play on alarm - defaults to last tune that was playing. What’s the point of showing the time on the iPhone screen when it’s showing on the clock anyway?.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Pretty lameEssentially this doesn't work properly with iOS8. The interface is the old (OS6,7). Pretty lame and doesn't really paint Sony in a very good light. 👎.Version: 1.4.0
✓ No fully accessible!In the updates it says 'VoiceOver compliant' as a VoiceOver user I was a little excited and also a bit like "welcome to the 21st century"; but the unusual wording of 'compliant' does in retrospect make sense when you realise they haven't labeled the button to get to the menu, well they did label it, but a label of "button" is a little vague. What they mean to have written is something along the lines of "settings" good work guys, you're on your way, now let's realise that things should be more than 'compliant' and remember Voiceover's purpose is to facilitate equitable access to technology for the blind. Apple did most of the work for you, all you have to do is recognise that the word you use in scripting has meaning to screen reader users! Other than that the app is a little feature poor but functions and can tell the time and date with VoiceOver which is a good start. The generic nature of the settings menu is accessible as expected, good to be able to access the 'button' menu. Since my clock screen has gone haywire just out of warranty I'm not impressed since other people in my house who can see the time from a distance now can't see the time clearly all of the time (I can see it close up). It looks like a software issues causing everything that can light up to light up and one of the bars on the numbers goes on and off randomly so at 5am it can look like 6am but at 6am it might look like 5am. YES I have tried turning it off and on again multiple times and off for various lengths of time. Given the nature of the screen I'm positive that a software reset of the clock could help so a feature like that on the phone would help... And the settings reset only works on the app... I tend to be tech savvy enough to have tried the obvious!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Cheap and NastyVery poorly implemented Must have been done on the cheap You can dim the clock but the backlight stays on full Nice nightlight 4 out of 5 times when you turn an alarm on it goes to edit instead - poorly designed buttons Typical Sony rubbish.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Accessory no longer supported!Update please..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Shame on you SonyThis app doesn't even deserve the time to write review for it. Total abandonment from Sony. No updates, no customer support, nothing. When you buy a new dab fm dock you expect it to work with the app provided. I can't change the names of the stations. The app is extremely buggy and ugly. Sony sent me email to leave review about the product. I left one and few days later they told me the review won't be published, because it describes customer service. And they don't want this….Version: 1.4.0
✓ Does not workOn RDP-XA700iP, iPad 3. In the app, go into Network, and it instantly exits with message "The settings will be finished. The RDP-XA700iP has been operated." Unable to connect the speaker to a network, rendering it useless. Please fix! App says "Connected" in top left but clearly it is not..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Where's the equalizer?What is it that gives large corporations the right to just remove functions from applications without any regard for whom it inconveniences or for the troublesome mechanics they put individual customers through when trying to find a solution to the problems it creates. Appalled!!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Time Sync doesn't workThe time sync sets the time to 5hrs earlier to what the correct time is. Needs a "contact us" for the app to help solve issues..Version: 1.4.0
✓ 😡Not Worth It!!!!😡I've used Sony products all my life and now the app is no longer supported?, I have previously used the app with my old iPod 2 and ever since I upgraded to the iPod 4 it says that the accessory isn't supported by iOS devices! I am running iOS 6.1.6 the newest and most likely final update to the iPod 4, my dock model is ICF-CS15iP. FIX THIS BUG!!!!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ ScottyDoes not work with ios10 very frustrating this app never gets any updates don't bother with it 👎🏻.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Needs to be fixed!This app needs a lot of love to be more useful in a few ways, like I don't enjoy my music blaring at volume 12 but I have no choice because of this app. Seriously needs some attention..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Not greatThis works great as a music play timer, but why would you ever need one? The one feature which it should include would be an alarm and I don't see why Sony didn't put an alarm feature on in the first place. Hardly use it, but if it had an alarm, it would get used everyday..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Sony just don’t careDid you buy a Sony device, which needs an app? Well Sony don’t care! They’ll drop the app, and expect you to buy another device for the next app...Version: 1.5.2
✓ Not working with latest ISO updateNot working since the last ISO update. Unable to send alarm to the doc with this app anymore. Developers are you going to update to make app compatible?????.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Poor music functionality.Really poor iPhone music functionality for having your music play as the alarm. Have to manually add each song to the list instead of being able to choose all, or at least a playlist already on your phone..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Doesn't workNot supported.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Why?I was listening to my favourite podcast when suddenly it just completely stopped! Now even after cleaning my port i still can't get sound or even power!!! (Ipod 5) it just says "this device is not supported therefore it may not run reliably".Version: 1.4.0
✓ Was simple & great! Now, not so much...This app has worked well through all the updates and iPhones since getting my Sony clock radio when I had a iPhone 4. I am now having problems with iOS9. When I dock the alarm settings don't display anymore so I have to adjust the alarm on the radio which takes me back to an interface developed in the 70's. Seems like Sony could keep a current app that would work with all their products. Can't imagine it would take much resources to do. As FYI; I've deleted and reinstalled several times - once in a while it would work for a couple days..Version: 1.4.0
✓ No longer worksThis worked great until my iphone updated. Now the dock won't charge iPhone 6 after latest update to iOS 10.3.2 Please fix.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Time Sync doesn't workThe Time Sync doesn't sync the right time. It's 4 hours wrong. Not good :-(.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Doesn't work with iOS 10I used this product religiously everyday until I downloaded iOS 10. Now it doesn't work- please fix! I loved this product!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Can’t use alarm setting?!?I plug in my iPhone running iOS 12.1.4 and get an error saying the alarm function can not be used on (model). So, what’s the point of having this Sony product now? The developers of this app don’t appear to be keeping up to date on this app when iOS changes are made. This renders the app useless and broken. Sad. I love Sony products—-you gotta do better by doing better. Kaizen!.Version: 1.5.3
✓ StandardThis app works but it would be nice to be able to change the alarm on my phone AND then dock my phone. But it doesn't. You have to dock your phone and then attempt cack handedly try and change the alarm. I hate the fact that you can only set 2 alarms and doesn't give you many options. Having spent £100 on the docking station this app is awful..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Using it as a standalone alarm app + 5.1 sound systemI have two compatible Sony docks. I've activated the alarm functionality in the app by docking (iPhone 5). After that, I use a line-out apple dock for the alarm connected to a 5.1 sound system for my bed. The dock made a hissing noise after snoozing an alarm. Still a great app after 5+ years - functions exactly like I want it to (iPod music / snooze config). Recent update has the new landscape "alarm-off" ui-layout. The only issue with this is that when the alarm goes off in landscape mode, the snooze button is shown below the "alarm off slider" and is hard to press. Please fix this. Thank you..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Typical SonyIf you like the error message "The Settings will be finished. the RDP-ZA700iP has been operated" every time you try to access the Network setup then this app is just for you. Stupid garbage error messages do not belong on an iOS device. But then again this is Sony, the guys who infected all their customers with a Root Kit virus. Nice speakers, bad app..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Doesn’t workHas stopped working and app is completely unsupported by Sony, although it hasn’t stopped them continuing to sell the speaker docks. But then, no one is going to find that out until after they buy the speaker dock so Sony probably couldn't care less. It was always very crude compared with other alarm apps but at least it once worked. I would give it zero stars if I could. To explain fully, Sony docks switch off after 15 min as they don't allow a standby mode. So to work at all the app has to be able to switch the dock back on when the alarm goes off. It used to do this, but lost the ability with one of apple's iOS upgrades. So now it is simply useless and Sony seems to have completely washed its hands of the problem leaving users with very expensive speaker systems they can no longer use as alarm clocks. The app still works as an alarm clock, but only with the iPhone's own speakers, which mute once connected, so you can't plug the phone in and charge overnight, rather defeating the object of the dock and app combination. The dock still functions, but the app doesn't, rendering it useless. Unfortunately this is fairly typical of Japanese consumer products nowadays as anyone who has ever purchased a smart TV has probably found to their cost that upgrades to clunky software nearly always mean buying a new TV entirely..Version: 1.4.0
✓ BROKEN - ios8No longer functions after update to ios8. Any attempt to select an alarm song crashes the app. No updates to the app since 2013. Thank you and bleep you Sony. Expensive dock now pointless..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Update has ruined my 2 Sony personal radio docks.I used to love them. Please fix NOW..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Needs new updateNeeds new update.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Where is the alarm function?Used to work great, accidentally deleted and re-downloaded and now the alarm function has disappeared??? Which is pretty much all I used it for!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ UPDATE !!Still will not work playing music even with a new update, update the software for previous generations of iPhones I have a 4s and an update to include the software for that so AirPlay can happen would be nice!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Poo dose not work any moreSony should remove this soft wear and stop kidding people it works with iPhones it dose not!!!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Really DisappointedI agree with everything said here... It was working great.... Then, last week, it suddenly stopped working with my 4S?? I've tried all the bug fixes only to learn that it's this darned app. Save your money and the headache!!! Two months in, and I'm headed straight to the Apple store! Should've done that to begin with....Version: 1.4.0
✓ ConnectionIt doesn't even connect to my phone anymore. It was perfectly fine just 12 hours ago, not it doesn't work. It connects to my phone and charges it but doesn't connect to my music. I have the Audio System ICF-CS15iPN (whatever that means lol) but it's not working. It used to connect and play music like a stereo WHILE charging my phone but now it doesn't work. All it can do is charge my phone.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Not much to itBasically, the purpose of this app is to sync the time to your Sony iPhone/iPad/iPod sound dock. It does what it needs to do, and nothing more. I grew concerned that they wouldn't update the app to work with iOS 10, as it had gone for 4 years without any updates. Fortunately, Sony FINALLY updated the app..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Poor effort from SonyIt messes with the iPhone screen brightness (which probably explains the battery drain problem) and will not sync time and date. This app is pointless!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ CrapThis app should be deleted from the store and any ref to it in marketing sony prod cuts also deleted. It does not work and simply aggravates anyone who tries to use it..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Needs updatesReally needs a basic compatibility update never mind feature/bug fixes. Can't be hard to do with the resources of Sony!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ No Longer WorksI had this alarm clock for not even a year before the app stopped working. They stopped updating it and now my phone doesn't charge or play music when plugged into the port. I had to delete the app because it was in fact slowing my phone down..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Unable to charge my Apple 5 phoneI have a apple 5 iPhone w/ the lightening connection. My phone does not charge when is docked on my sony clock radio ICF-CS151iPN) . My alarm works, but when I wake in the morning my phone has not charged. My phone will charge on other docking stations. Will someone at sony please update is app! It has been over a year since the last update. I will buy a Sony product like this again..Version: 1.4.0
✓ No longer worksSorry guys, if you have bought the Sony dock it no longer works with this App. I now have a mediocre alarm that does not have the functionality I originally bought it for. If I could give this app a zero I would..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Poor service from SonySo I bought a docking station for my ipod as it clearly stated it was for iPods and iPhones. Low and behold it's stopped working, now only supports ios 5! That's a £100 down the drain Sony! Unfortunately I don't have money to burn, update this for all!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ D-sappliThe only thing my Sony docking station is good for now is charging my phone. Please fix this!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Doesn't work anymoreApp doesn't work as alarm since IOS update, no app update since 2013!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Please Fix thisI loved playing music on my docking station!! I was disappointed when my iPhone 6 said that this device was no longer supported after I updated to iOS 9. I have waited and waited to get an update to allow me to use this, I have cleaned all connectors. My docking station is now just a super big and expensive phone charger. Please please fix this..Version: 1.4.0
✓ This Accessory May Not Be SupportedUsed to work fine. Now this error message keeps lighting up all night. I have only had this since Christmas so I am a little ticked that updates are not fixing this. It recharges my phone and serves as a separate clock but that is about it. Please fix!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Please fix compatibilityI use to play my first gen iPod touch on my dock but now it says I need iOS 5 which I can't update to and it would be best if you could make this compatible for all iPods and iPhones..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Orphaned AppIt's a shame that a company like Sony, once a leader in Consumer Electronics has let this app go into oblivion. My iPhone 6+ will not play upon insetting into the adapter then insetting into the deck. After pressing on/off, audio in, mode, iPod&iPhone, OFF in some random order, then stopping and restarting my phone maybe I'll get some music. If the app were updated to iOS 10.3 I doubt I'd be having this issue. It's shame seeing apps left by the wayside, no longer supported due to other profitable projects within a company. And no I will not be buying a 4K Sony DSLR, nor will I buy a Sony OLED TV. There are better products for less money available. The savvy Consumer has spoken with his checkbook once again!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Needs updating for iOS 7Just about performs the basics but for some reason there is a 4hr difference between the iPod and C11iP synced time. Just a few QA checks and this puppy could be so much more... Why do I have to select songs in the app?! Apple fixed this... Shame Sony look like they've abandoned it.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Horrible appI am constantly late getting up due to this app not working on a consistent basis. Sony ought to be ashamed for putting out a product that used an app that clearly has major issues! If I had known this was not going to have the bugs worked out by now, NEVER would have bought the docking station..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Prblem with ios 8.1.3Since ios 8.1.3, I cannot even charge my iphone 5 with the sony radio anymore! Please talk to Apple and make them fix there ios, or give us an app that will recognize ios 8.1.3..Version: 1.4.0
✓ App Update needed!!The dream machine worked great.. but the past week for some odd reason my alarm isn't working right, the machine itself is saying my alarm is going off.. but no sound!! But can play my music on the thing and it's fine! It keeps telling me it needs an update on the app. Maybe that's what is wrong!? Help!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Aweful AppSleep player is useless because it does not have a separate volume from the alarm. So, if you play your music low when going to sleep, the alarm music will be set to the same low volume. Duh! The alarm wake to music will not play the song selected. Instead, it will play whatever song was being played last in the iPod music app. When you plug the phone into the doc, it does not start the app. So if you forget to start the app and push the setting to the clock, the alarm won't go off. Overall, the Sony clock provides a power charging hookup and a clock I can see at night. Nothing else useful from the standard iPhone alarm..Version: 1.4.0
✓ UPDATE APP!!Like the app but it needs to be updated!!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ No syncI can't believe that the Sony Dream Machine doesn't sync time and date when iPhone is connected but the least that they could do would be to have this App do it..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Needs an updateMy phone keeps warning that this app is slowing down its performance as the developer needs to update this app. Please if I have to buy another alarm clock it will be one that supports its products.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Really?!?All of a sudden...I can't play music, this unit is nothing more than a charger for my iPhone. Boooooo! Shame on you, SONY..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Please updateThe alarm setting on the app is gone. I can only set the alarm on my phone itself not through the app..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Great Idea, needs workVery buggy with my new iPhone 5. Alarm feature is now unreliable and makes my Sony docking station nearly useless. Besides the general reliability fix, I would like to see an update that would allow undocked alarm programming..Version: 1.4.0
✓ IPhone only part chargesIt used to be great but hadn't been updated. I can't use it now for my iPhone as the unit only partially charges my phone. Very disappointed..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Ca veut pas s'installerJ'ai voulu télécharger cette application, ne veut pas s'installer, et ne veut pas s'enlever ..... Problème !.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Basic appDoesn't let the phone sync the time. That's all I wanted it for!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ IOS 8 renders app useless. This accessory may not be supportedAll text fields are stuck empty with frozen screens. This is the error I get when docking. This accessory may not be supported. Also the iPhone playback will only play the last song listened to at the previous volume. So there is no reliability at all. Alarms are supposed to be reliable. What's the point in using an app that doesn't work? just like Sony to sell a well marketed alarm clock with no functionality support. I should have known better. Sony = unreliable..Version: 1.4.0
✓ The app doesn't even workMy dock doesn't play it's sound out of it it just the iPod sound :|.Version: 1.4.0
✓ What's it for????????????????????My Sony Dock told me that I had to have this app on my iPhone so I downloaded it but all it seems to do is display a clock. It doesn't show what music is being played, in fact it doesn't have any music playback functions that I can find. Running the Music app on my iPhone shows what is being played and has all the functions needed to play music. So what is this app for and why does the Sony dock insist that it is installed? If I had wanted a clock for my sound dock, I would have bought one with a clock. As far as I can tell, this app is a total waste of time but I don't dare delete it in case my iPhone won't work with my Sony sound dock :(.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Just okUnfortunately this is the only alarm app that works with my Sony dock. The app is ok. It does need a fair amount of improvement. Could do with individual alarms for each day of the week. Weather info. Radio integration. Customizable background and clock..Version: 1.4.0
✓ UghI've tried this app in conjunction with my phone and the docking station. I'm trying very hard to put into words my feelings on this app that will effectively convey my feelings and will get this review past Apple's censors. Here it is: run away screaming from this app. It serves no purpose. If you have it running while docked, it limits the volume on the dock. Also, it negates the equalizer in iOS so everything sounds like it's coming out of a tin can..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Think it needs some revision..It's a great app to use with your Sony dock but I think that out of the 5 months I've been using it, I've only had the alarm function actually work probably 10 times if that.. I've had to take my phone off the dock at 6 in the morning in order to actually wake up when my alarm is set to go off.. I have also noticed if you have the music sleep timer on, you can't lock your phone or the timer cancels out.. I'm sure most people use this app as an alarm clock, therefore don't need the annoying bright shine of the iPhone/iPod screen lighting up the room all night (even when the screen brightness is turned right down). It would also be nice to have more clock styles. Try something like green or red numbers with black background like old school alarm clocks...Version: 1.3.2
✓ Are there any updates?I find it hard to understand how a company like Sony can drop the ball like they did on this app. Why is it that I have to go to Music to restart a song after it has stopped playing after the sleep timer has ended?.Version: 1.4.0
✓ They have not updated this software for IOS 8If you purchased a Sony IPhone/IPad docking product and they require you to use this d-sappli app to make it work correctly (for sounding alarms, etc.), return the product because this software doesn’t work with IOS 8. It effectively bricks the Sony docking station for any IOS 8 device alarm clock functionality. Bluetooth and Playing music while docked still works, but you will not be able to use any alarm clock. Repeated emails to Sony have been ineffective. Better to buy the iHome products - at least they work..Version: 1.4.0
✓ UnsatisfiedDidn't have an alarm function on my iPhone 5. Not very happy as that was the whole point I downloaded the app..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Meh...Have read previous reviews & have to agree with most. A very basic app that doesn't deliver all that is promised. Main thing I noticed is that the clock on my dock does NOT sync to my iPod. Pretty basic function that doesn't work. Have tested out the alarm function which works well. Others that are saying that when you turn off your phone/iPod the alarm doesn't work, that's correct. However, if you slide your finger down the screen while in the app, you can make the screen black and the alarm will then work fine. The only problem alarm wise is that the "test alarm volume" does not work so I'm yet to figure out what volume I have to set it to... Not sure about the dock switching itself off.. Only got it today so will have to see.. All in all, pretty useless app... Really needs to be fixed so that basic functions like syncing the clock actually works..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Over a year since app update. UnacceptablePeople we need to take this to the CEO of Sony, as no action is being taken by the numerous reviews of the problems & bugs. The latest for me is when docking the iPhone a msg says "This device may not be supported". Pretty ridiculous to buy a piece of electronics with it's sole function being iPhone compatible. The app hangs when it's focus is switched. The problems with the volume & song control, etc. will start a website and put link here where we can all voice our complaints & get them to the right ears!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ UpdateWill not work with IOS 8 software. Sony please update!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Okay not amazingThis is your bog standard clock app, nothing special but it does the job. However having just spent a lot of money on the docking station to charge my phone at night it lets me down! I prefer digital clocks but with a black background for when I sleep but this isn't possible, why I don't know seems a little stupid but that is my only pitfall. Just add a little customisation and this app will be just about perfect.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Drained batteryEven though this app wasn't being used, it still drained the battery, once it was removed battery lasted all day again.Version: 1.3.1
✓ D-SaporliWhy is the clock one hour ahead of BST and can I adjust it?.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Bad french translation to fixInstead of Lun, Avr 6 2020 It must be written Lun, 6 Avril 2020.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Just me?Works well most of the time. When I get a txt or notification etc during the night, I've noticed it turns on but the app alarm doesn't play a sound/music when it's suppose to :S I've always got to have a back up alarm clock on too.. Not sure if its just me or if this happens to others....Version: 1.3.2
✓ Stopped workingWon’t sync to phone. Can’t do anything with it.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Sony AirPlay socksThis is getting ridiculous Sony. You don’t stand by your products. I have been waiting for updates and spent a bomb on your so called hi end iPod airplay docks. At last you have updated the app after 5 long years and that app doesn’t work with RDPXA700ip. Are you kidding me? If you are incapable of supporting your products stop selling them. Appeal to those who have been affected by Sony AirPlay dock issues we should get together to file a class action suit and teach a lesson to these careless buggers. Used a be an avid Sony fan but never again..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Some tweaks for an all in one appIt would be better to have the app automatically turn Bluetooth on and off when it opens/closes. Also, please allow the app to browse through the music on the phone not just skip to the next or previous song. Access to the songs and playlists of iTunes would make for a more substantial and user friendly app..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Useless AppThe whole idea of the app is great, but the alarm function is almost useless if you want to use your iPod/iPhone music for your alarm. It gives you the option to select music within your library for your alarm, but this ONLY works IF you have last listened to that song. If not, you will be alarmed to the most recently listened to song in your music library. In other words, you don't want to be woken at 5am in the morning to your fav death metal song you listened to that day in your car, instead of your previously chosen classical music!! Don't bother, download a better app!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Alarming OversightWhilst the music player timer appears to work fine the regular alarm clock function does not wake the speaker unit up of a morning.. I don't stand a chance if my alarm clock won't wake up!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Does not work.Claims to work with iPhone 5 but won't play music.Version: 1.4.0
✓ What tha..?This is by far the worst app available! After trying to sync the time, I had to set manually. After removing the phone the time reverted back to the wrong time. While the alarm worked, I can't work out where the music is sourced from... And can't turn it off. If you happen to be looking at this before buying the Sony clock get something else!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Update Please!!It used to work fine, but now, every time I plug my phone into the speaker it gives me the error "this device not supported" I have an iPhone 6. When I opened the app i got a message saying "this app may slow down your device, the developer needs to update it" Many other people are having problems too, please update?.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Does not work with IOS 10.While its user interface is disappointing, I've enjoyed programming my Sony alarm clock using the app rather than the alarm clock's buttons. But it does not work since upgrading to IOS 10. Hopefully they will fix the app soon..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Don't buyIsn't optimised for iOS 8!!! I plug my iPhone 6 into my Sony dock & it comes up with a message saying not optimised and won't charge my phone. Useless & even though it's free now I wouldn't bother downloading it. Waste of Mbs!!! Hurry up & update the app!!!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Need updateUpdate it old!!!.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Newfoundland Time ZoneThere is no time zone for Newfoundland. The closest is AST (Atlantic Standard Time) which is a half an hour earlier than Newfoundland!! Please fix!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ RubbishI have had the dock for 2 years and it has worked really well until I update my iPad to IOS 11 and now it doesn’t work. They need to up date it ASAP!!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Was brilliantI have been using this dock for a long time with my iPhone 6, it never let me down. I have upgraded to the IPhone 6s Plus and now the dock only works intermittently I have to make sure the phone actually connects showing the connected sign top left. Other than keep putting phone on and off dock till it connects - frustrating, shame on Sony not adding a support function on dock app!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ IOS 10 updateNo working with iPhone 7.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Needs update for iOS 9After updating to the most recent iOS version the alarm function with iPhone music doesn't work..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Mostly works with iPhone 6 and iOS 8.0.2, but wake to iPhone music doesn't work correctlyI'm using this app on my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.0.2, together with the Sony ICF-C11iP AM/FM radio speaker dock (designed for iPhone 5). The app works great for setting the time, the alarms, and the radio station presets. It sure beats setting all of that by messing with the buttons on the radio itself. One feature seems to *not* work: The wake to music ("Music Play Timer") feature is supposed to allow you to wake up to a song or songs of your choosing from your iPhone or iPod. The app does allow you to set this up, and when the selected time comes it does wake up the attached iPhone and start to play music, but it does not play the pre-selected song. Instead it seems to play whatever was last "Now Playing" in the Music app. This isn't a big deal for me, as I wake up to the radio. I only want to play from an iPhone or iPod at night to go to sleep, and that part works fine. But I expect this would be a deal-breaker for some. I note also that the last update to this app was more than 1½ years ago (March 14, 2013), so I do worry that it has been abandoned. It would be nice to see an update to iOS 7 or 8 standards. That might fix the wake-to-music bug too..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Needs a flipping update!In 2012 this was great, in 2015 the app does not read the docked iPod. After attaching and removing, sometimes up to ten times it will connect. A company like SONY should do better than this!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ PLEASE UPDATE TO 64BITThis app will no longer work with IOS 11 and I use this app daily to set my alarms for my sound system. Please update it to be compatible with iOS 11.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Rubbish!Since upgrading to iphone 5 with a converter for my sony dock i can no longer play music using the speaker system. I have attempted to get help through the website but the page doesn't work. My docking station is now just a glorified charger. What a ridiculous system! My phone came with a clock, i just want it to play my music!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Kludgy on an iPhone, useless on an iPadPoor UI design on the iPhone 5 but it does work. I can't control the clock on my iPad though. Intentional limitation or just poor design? Since the iPad fits on the connector and it charges, this doesn't make sense to me. What a waste of an app with potential..Version: 1.4.0
✓ D-Sappli 1.4.0Overall I have no issues with this app on my iphone 5s ios 7.0.4 however on my iPad air ios 7.0.4 it does not show alarms or connected status so I hope like many others before me that an update is on the way....... UPDATE After upgrading to iOS 8 the alarm function of the app has vanished so you can only change the alarm on the alarm clock speaker dock itself. Come on Sony pull your finger out and get an update sorted..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Good as far as it goes....Works well with Sony dock that I have but is limited in respect of functionality when compared with other clock apps e.g. iHandy. Trouble with other apps is they don't operate the dock so it's the old catch 22..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Iphone 4S no longer supportedThis app will no longer let me dock my iPhone 4S to my Sony Docking System. The software is only configured for the iPhone 4S. Sony please fix this software issue..Version: 1.4.0
✓ IOS 9 - Dream (Nightmare) Machine and iPhone 4SSince updating to IOS 9 (now 9.1 as I write) the wonderful features of this app (auto Time sync, set alarms, tune stations etc) are no longer working. So the journey began, contacted Sony Technical Support - their suggestions: try cleaning terminals, try resetting both phone and dock, still no luck - "This accessory is not supported on your iPhone”. Sony Tech Support final advice - call Apple, they made the change on their side. So, as futile as you would assume it was going to be, I contact Apple Support. Again, similar rhetoric, we don’t support 3rd Party Applications or devices - best bet is to contact Sony and request an app update. So, contacted Sony support again, spoke to an agent who explains they have no way to contact Sony Engineering, best advice, put something on the Customer forums and hope the community can advise a fix. I now have a very expensive cook radio next to my bed that is unable to sync, play music or program from my phone - hence the 1 star. If there was a lower rating I would give it - very poor support from, what I thought, a reputable company with quality products!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ UPDATE!!!!I loved this app with my iPhone 4s. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 6 and this app does nothing with my docking station. I loved everything about the app when I had the older iPhone. PLEASE UPDATE.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Major problems with iOS 8I have an IP5s running iOS 8.Up until the upgrade,D Sappli was working seamlessly whilst using a genuine Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter. Unfortunately,my phone will not now play any music whatsoever via the dock. If anyone is listening,please release an update or at least tell us that you have washed your hands of it all,so that I can buy another product from a different manufacturer..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Needs updating!App stops working every few weeks! This is terrible from Sony! Would never have bought the docking station if I had known!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Limited Functionality. Alarm doesn't workI use an iPhone 4S with the latest iOS installed. I set an alarm then connect the phone to the Sony speaker dock. The dock has to be turned on in order for the alarm to function. However, after a period of time it turns itself off. And this stops the alarm from actually playing through the speakers. Therefore, this app and the associated Sony products are useless as an alarm clock, despite it being one of the advertised features..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Does not workCrashed when trying to set alarm on iphone 6.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Not happy with last updateThe last update completely rendered docking useless. It was working before. Now, it's pretty much useless. I'm running the touch 4th gen.Version: 1.4.0
✓ It only works in some ways.I use a Sony dock system and it amplifies my music just fine. The alarm is what I have a problem with. The volume was a pain to fix, because it would play so quietly it would never wake me up. My solution for that was go to the iPod settings and not allow alarm volume to be messed with by the buttons. However, my new problem is with the snooze function. When I press snooze, the app will immediately lock up and not wake me up 5 minutes later..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Not workingIt is a good app but its not letting me play music on the dock. Can you fix it soon?.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Needs UpdateThe app would be great if it did all that it advertised..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Has not been updated in yearsI own the speakers and they still work and I use it still everyday but it's not updated for iOS 10. Hopefully they can update the app sometime..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Used to be acceptable. Now poor keeps say accessory not supported by iPhone!Plays music and sets the alarm in the supposedly compatible alarm clock (ICF-C11iP) - sometimes. Frequently comes up with warning that the device is not compatible with the iPhone (5S) running iOS7. Further the device won't charge when this happens. The device was fine until a few months ago..Version: 1.4.0
✓ OkayWhen I first got this app, it worked fine. I was able to get up in the morning for school or for church. Now, I set my alarm, and check everything to make sure everything is how it is supposed to be, and my alarm isn't going off. It's been doing this for a few weeks and I'm getting annoyed. How can I make it go back to normal?.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Fix it please!Although I love this app, it stopped working after the update. It really stinks because I use it for my alarm clock. Please fix it because it is what gets me up in the morning for the school year! Please fix it ASAP!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Seriously outdatedThis app needs to be updated for iOS 11. It would be good if Sony turned this app into an open source application, so anyone else could bring it up to day if Sony has no plans to do so..Version: 1.4.0
