    Fair at best
    Wow! What a pain to set up all my devices. All other reviews are correct, there web page is a pain in the butt to get to when your allowed. This app needs reworked to be a little more user friendly. The dock itself has a good sound and it's a great idea JBL has come out with using the air play technology. But there app needs some help. I'm very glad I got this on Woot for $80.00. I would already be back at the store if I had to pay full price. Show more

    Speaker sleep mode
    Like other people I purchased the dock so I can use my iPad or iPhone as an alarm as well as watch movies or listen to music. Pointless when the speakers switch off but also override your devices sound too. Note on your website none of your "commonly" asked FAQs mention this utterly ridiculous dilemma. Please address, other than this the sound is so good it is such a shame. Show more

    Glaring flaw...
    Advertised as an alarm clock for the jbl onbeat system.... however, if you dont have audio playing at least every 10 minutes the jbl onbeat system goes to sleep and will not wake up when the alarm goes off.... so yea great alarm clock if you plan on waking up every 10 minutes throughout the night....

    Don’t get Beat On this one!
    Someone must have been asleep! And it was me!!!!!! Because I overslept twice thinking I missed my alarm, when it was plugged into my brand new JBL OnBeat recharging and speaker system. None of my alarm clock music apps work because of the JBL OnBeat’s auto off which turns off all music feeds after 10 minutes of none use, like when I’m asleep, duh!!. Can you say Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!!!!! I cannot call this a design flaw, because it is obviously a throw together before the holiday rush for sales!!!! Corporate dummies at the highest level of incompetence and greed!!!! This app and the products which bear its name are both disasters and should not be purchased or used even if it is free!!! I bought the system to be a night stand musical alarm clock, but not one musical alarm clock app works when plugged in, including this app by Harlan JBL. It’s for the birds, like the ones you cannot hear once this app goes off and it’s plugged into an OnBeat recharging because of their auto-off. Did I say the auto shut off even kills this JBL app’s bird twitting alarm when it is plugged in to the OnBeat recharger. Can you say what a waste of money, time and effort? This app and the systems it is intended for must be a Joke! Joke! Joke!!! Stay away until they post an official apology and change the firmware for all past products. I work hard to earn my money and obviously, they didn’t bother to work on this product before release. Don’t get Beat up On this app or the products carrying its name. I believe they used the same name to confuse people and make the product sound like something it cannot deliver, intelligent cooperates. Yah you Beat me up On this one. I won't of even give this 1 star, but I had to enter something. Show more

    JBL OnBeat Overrides iOS Autolock Settings :(
    Someone was asleep-at-the-wheel when they went over the features for the OnBeat speaker dock. It has it's own auto-lock feature and it overrides that which is set in your iOS device. I'm surprised Apple let this product display the 'approved for iPhone' badge. Many, if not most, would use a speaker dock primarily as a charging station and alarm clock -- but the JBL OnBeat overrides any autolock settings in place on the device and puts it to sleep after 10 minutes. To make matter worse, system events like alarm sounds don't wake up the speakers. The JBL OnBeat is fairly useless, and again, how could Apple let a product like this bear it's stamp-of-approval...?!?! :( Show more

    I need to wake up
    I'm a DJ that needs a loud alarm clock and was hoping to use the on beat with iPad to get me up....please jbl allow the speakers to wake up to wake me up. Show more

    Wake speaker
    I bought the onbeat to replace my clock radio for my IPad. Unfortunately, none of the nightstand/alarm clock apps (including this one) has the ability to wake the speakers from sleep mode, which the on beat automatically goes into. This prevents from the alarm being loud enough and waking me up. So please, JBL, fix this so that it will wake your speakers with the alarm! and I will be glad to give it the full 5 stars Show more

    App
    Nice app. Although it does do anything more than iTunes has to offer. It's hard to organize your playlist/music. I do not recommend it.
