Hope that all these issues can be resolved and improved to give users an enjoyable experience using the app and the music box. To refine this further, when we minimize the app or lock the phone screen, we should still be able to control the songs via the control center (i.e to play, pause, stop, play next track, play previous track) This will help us in conserving our phone battery. By minimize, I mean i'm merely tapping once on my iPhone's home button, not close off and exit the app. Also, a song should continue playing when we minimize the Ezcast app and lock the phone, until we click stop to end the song. Every time when I try to select what to play next after the current playing song is done, I fail to do so, because when I go back to the song lists, the currently playing song will stop playing immediately.Ħ. In the USB list, a song should continue playing until we stop it or we click on another song. The music box should at all times stay connected until I manually disconnect it or I close off the Ezcast app.ĥ.

go to settings, connect to 'Soundmate', go back to Ezcast app, look for Soundmate device, etc etc). 5mins), then the connection will be lost and we have to connect the music box all over again (i.e. If the interval between playing songs is slightly longer (eg. The song will start playing (the timeline is running), but there is no sound coming out from the speakers. Either connection is lost, or there will be no sound when i play the song. Everytime after playing a few songs, the connection will start to have problem. We have to click on the only option on the top left - 'Ezcast' and we will then go back to the front page, and have to click on 'USB' and then only we can see the song list again. When a song is played from the USB list, and we want to change to another song, there is no easy way to view the playlist and to play another song. To refine this, it is best to have the basic multimedia controls (play, pause, and timeline slide where we can rewind or fast forward a track) and at the same time let us continue to have access to the list of songs in the USB so that we can easily play/change to any other songs.ģ. I think the interface before the latest update is better as we can see the title of the song which is being played. After entering into the USB playlist, and after we clicked on one of the audio file to play it, the iPhone will go into a back screen. Once we click on the song to play it, it SHOULD play on the speakers, not the phone.Ģ. It is inconvenient to have to manually select 'Soundmate' from the Airplay option everytime we use the music box. I think this is counter intuitive as the main objective of Soundmate WM201 is to enable us to stream our audio to the speakers. When we try to play the audio files in USB (controlling via iPhone), the audio will by default plays on the iPhone, instead of the speakers.
