First of all, the only reason my iPad has stayed in iOS8 was because I lost the ability to have this app connect to my Creative E5. Well, I installed the driver software on my PC, did a FIRMWARE update on the E5 using the pull down menu in the top-right corner (down-pointing triangle), and now YAY I can tweak EQ and load profiles with my phone again!To be clear, the E5 still connected (automatically) with Bluetooth to my phone and would play audio, just couldn't be accessed by the mobile app on iOS9.I like the ability to connect the E5 to my PS4 via optical and USB, then use my phone to mix optical (game) volume and USB (chat) volume on the fly. Or EQ up the bass, tame treble spikes, etc. I'm also kind of impressed that my Apple Music that I downloaded but didn't separately buy was still able to play through Sound Blaster Central... For some reason a lot of other apps won't do that. I don't have a need to use Central's music player, but it does work.The Bluetooth settings are still slow to adjust... not sure why, but I can deal with it.

Great for iOS 12.1.2

I downloaded this app just for kicks. I could not find any free equalizer apps. I do not have any CREATIVE devices but it increases the max volume and enhances the bass. I get a greater dynamic range on my blue tooth corded earbuds and my totally wireless blue tooth earbuds. There are no useable buttons, but it really makes all my blue tooth devices sound great!!

Does not work with IPhone XS Max

Multiple issues with this app if you are trying to use it with iPhone XS max. Can you please update this app so we can use it with the latest iOS. The connection between the amp and iPhone is breaking up very frequently. The current version does not show that the amplifier is connected and the controls don’t work. I would sincerely request you to please have a look at this app and provide some updates.
