JBL Portable Software

Needed to update Charge 3 firmware. ***YOU MUST HAVE THE CHARGE 3 PLUGGED IN THE WALL/CHARGING THE BATTERY WHILE UPDATING*** Do not close out of the JBL app while updating either. As an added benefit, my Charge 3 SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER. The update enhances the treble; whereas before, voices were muffled. Everything took about 15 minutes. I did NOT update my Flip 4. It is senseless to “update” any speaker if it’s working perfectly. Too many times, a so called “update” is responsible for downgrading performance. Overall, YAYEEEEEE!!!! Finally, after a yearlong wait, I can begin purchasing additional speakers to perform as they’re advertised. Imagine that! Developers make the app do what it’s supposed to; and Voila! Revenue raises.

I use this in between two rooms at work. I put one speaker in each room and set to party mode. Works great! When I’m using it at a party or another get together and I want stereo I set it up for a stereo pair. I have red and black Flip 4 speakers so I can tell which is which. Stereo sound is excellent, and at full volume they are TOO LOUD for even a large room or even outdoors, but they still sound great! (This sis supposed to be a software review, but these Flip 4 speakers are amazing. That’s why they are a little more expensive). I can’t comment about negative reviews here. I’m just very happy with this software on an iPhone and iPad driving Flip 4 speakers.

This review is basically in response to the only other review under this app. I’ve recently purchased a JBL Charge 3. It’s by far the best speaker at its price point and after using my roommates own for a few weeks I decided to buy my own and hence the reason for downloading this app. The connect+ app worked seamlessly with the two Charge 3 speakers and the stereo feature is amazing. The sound quality and ease of this app to use make the listening experience even more enjoyable. Can’t wait to add a pulse or extreme to mix and here how that sounds. Great job JBL. #newestcustomerforlife
