Samsung Galaxy Buds App Comments & Reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds Positive Reviews

Serves its PurloseBefore you turn away from Galaxy Buds because of the reviews of them or this app, please read below. (TL;DR at bottom) I was skeptical when buying the Buds+ because of all the negative reviews of the product and this app. But let me tell you, I have no regrets buying them. The reviews saying that the Bluetooth doesn’t connect with iPhones or that you have to give Samsung access to all your contacts just aren’t true. If you have a apple device that isn’t too old, they connect fine. The Buds+ even connected to my Windows PC with no issues, unlike every other earbuds I’ve tried. As for this app, it works exactly as you’d expect it to. It makes connection even easier than just using Bluetooth, and it gives you control over almost everything. All it requested was to access Bluetooth, no location or contacts. If you saw one of the reviews at the top saying that this app doesn’t work with the original Buds, (I wonder why apple put that at the top...) no duh. It’s not supposed to. You should do your research before buying earbuds to see if there is an app or the company has official said certain earbuds will be supported by an app. Samsung never claimed or even made it seem like the original Buds would be supported. TL;DR Personally I love my earbuds, but that’s not for this review on the App Store. This app serves its purpose and I have had no issues with it..Version: 2.1.0

Bad reviews are largely user errorI was able to get Buds+ to work perfectly and immediately with the app by following simple, intuitive instructions available online. Before attempting to use this app, ensure you own Buds+, not the original Buds. Verify your iOS device compatibility (on the app store for phones and online for iPads). If you do not meet these prerequisites, proceed no further and do not download this app. 1st step - open buds case with Buds+ still in the charging position if this is the first device you're pairing your Buds+ to enter pairing mode or take Buds+ out of their case (as long as they're charged) and put them in. Tap and hold both Buds+ until you hear a repeating chime which indicates they're in pairing mode. 2nd step - using the device that you want to have as your primary device for your Buds+ go to Settings > Bluetooth and trap on Buds+ at the bottom. Once they are connected, download this app if you haven't already done so. 3rd step - open the app and follow prompts. It will ask you to keep the case open, this is why it was necessary to pair to your primary device first as the case only pairs to one device. You're done. It's as simple as that. Functionality of settings, controls, etc is as expected. These are among the easiest to setup non-Apple headphones I've used..Version: 1.1.5

This app could be even better.OK, I downloaded this app thinking it would work with my Samsung galaxy buds pro. If I’m not mistaken that’s some more recent version of the galaxy buds. Seriously, Samsung, if you’re going to develop an app for the Galaxy Buds. At least make sure that they work on all the newer versions of the GalaxyBuds. According to the information I’ve seen in this app. It only works on the GalaxyBuds live, and the galaxy buds plus. Doesn’t seem like it was worth spending $140 on a pair a GalaxyBuds pro only to find out that I can’t get them to work on this thing except for using Bluetooth. This should be fixed immediately before any future releases of this app. this is exactly why this app only gets three stars. Fix that little issue and I’ll consider upgrading my rating from three stars to five. And even recommending this app. What, until then. It’s going to stay at the current rating.Version: 2.1.1

Mostly works.Response to developer response: It’s absolutely possible for Bluetooth devices linked to an iPhone to do everything that the Galaxy Buds+ currently do, while having volume controls that are totally independent of the volume slider in iOS. I have multiple Bluetooth headphones/speakers/receivers that do exactly this. On those devices, their internal volume controls act like the potentiometer-based in-line volume controls that are found on some headphones—they adjust the final volume without changing the position of the slider in iOS. That’s absolutely something that these earbuds should be able to do too, even if it’s via a manual slider in the application. Original review: With these earbuds, there’s currently no way to adjust the volume output of the buds independently from the single volume slider in iOS. That artificially limits the range of output volume you can get out of them—it means that they’re too quiet for some environments, too loud for others, and that it can be difficult to get the volume level set right where you want it. Admittedly this is mostly a deficiency within iOS, but it would be nice if this application allowed me to change it—either via a slider in the application, or by allowing the user to control the volume output of the phone via the phone’s buttons, and the volume amplification of the buds via the touch controls on the buds themselves..Version: 2.1.0

Read the instructions!!!!The app works perfectly, just read the instructions that pop up on the screen! After reading the comments, I noticed people have been complaining on how, when you pair the buds they don’t play the song or movie you are trying to listen to. Instead the sound comes from the speakers of the device you’re using instead of the buds. But if you’ve read the instructions that pop up right after you pair you’r buds, it’s says that Bluetooth has to be paired to Galaxy buds+ and Galaxy buds+ LE. After you pair through the app, go to Bluetooth settings on your device and if only one is paired, put your buds back into the charging case and take them out right after and you’ll find both of the Bluetooth pairing names. ( If you don’t see both, wait a bit till it pops up).Version: 2.0.3

Everything is gucciI don't why so many people have problems with this app. I have iPhone 10 and I paired my buds through phone Bluetooth and then downloaded app and connected ear buds to app and everything works just fine. If you leave app for a while and go back in it does display as if no ear buds connected even through they are and I'm listening to music through them but all you have to do is just pull down in the app just like you do on Instagram to refresh feed and suddenly buds are connected to app and you can regulate the equalizer and ambient sound. Btw, ambience sound is amazing. I tested it out in a noisy factory I work in and the noise cancelation from off to full mode is noticeable considerably and blocks most sound when not listening to anything at all and completely when turn on music!.Version: 1.1.5

Switching between devices it’s a nightmare (fixed)Connecting them to my iPhone was pretty easy and the app worked great, but when I tried to switch them to my iPad I had to go to my phone Bluetooth settings and manually forget the buds so that my IPad could recognize them. I have to do this every time I want to switch between devices and sometimes I have to try 3 or 4 times for my devices to recognize them. Edit: I tried this but my iPad only recognized the left bud and doesn’t take them as earbuds, the sound still plays through the speakers. Thank you for answering. Second edit: the link doesn’t work, it says the video it’s unavailable Third edit: Hi there, the thing is unless I manually unpair the buds from my phone my iPad won’t find them, even if they are on the case and my phone’s Bluetooth is turned off. Fourth edit: it works now! I had my buds conected to my iPad and forgot to disconnect them before going out, I thought I would have to go back inside and unpair them but they just connected to my phone, now I can easily switch between devices without having to unpair them. If someone is having the same issue just get away from one of your devices with and connect them to the other..Version: 2.1.0

Don’t forget to smile 💜I have buds+ with an iPhone 11. Follow the instructions to pair as it says on the Samsung website. Turn on Bluetooth and go to the app. Don’t try to connect with Bluetooth first. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. Still testing longevity; so far so good. They look great and work beautifully. I’m loving my buds+. I am more sensitive to ear buds and the regular apple ear buds hurt my ears and these are comfortable with 3 sizes to choose from: small, med and large. I have been reading so many negative reviews so I worried about the experience I would have. This is why I am making this review bc so long as you understand which buds you have and which device they are compatible with you won’t have problems. The app is great and I especially like the equalizer. Love the way music sounds with Dynamic. Overall so happy with buds+. Thank you.Version: 2.1.0

Excellent Functionality and No IssuesI’m using this app on my iPhone XS and with the Galaxy Buds +. My previous Bluetooth earbuds were the original Apple AirPods. Not only are Galaxy Buds + better in sound quality, noise isolation and battery longevity; this app adds so much functionality that I just love. I am a diy sort of person so I am nerding out with what I can do with these buds through the app. I’ve settled on left bud touch and hold to turn on ambient sound. Right touch and hold for Siri. Single tap pause playback. Two taps next track and three for previous. I love that I adjust how loud my ambient sound is and whether I want it on when I’m on the phone. I do by the way. I’m also digging the experimental features of tapping the outside of the buds for volume up or down. Clearly this app is trying to give as much functionality as they can. You can also disable all functionality if you so choose by enabling Block Touches. I have had no connection issues since I began using it 3 months ago. The only thing I wish I had was a graphic eq to further dial in my audio preferences. Even without, I’d give this app an 11 out of 10. Just super cool what I can do with these buds especially coming from the AirPods..Version: 2.0.3

Really Well DoneAll the low rated reviews are useless, they don’t know what they’re doing or saying so DONT READ THEM. First: For this app to work connect to your iPhone from settings first, then connect the BUDS+ (emphasis on +) to the app. Second: App is neatly organized, it tells you how much charging your case has and how much charging buds have WHEN the case IS OPEN! (Although I wish it gave battery levels for each individual bud) Third: It has manuals and guides for how to work the touch pad. You can even make custom controls to fit your needs. The equalizer works great, I change it depending on the songs I listen to. Fourth: AMBIENT SOUND toggle can only be switched on if your earbuds are in (if I remember correctly). I don’t use it too much because I can hear things I usually can’t with my regular ears (really well done if you like that!). Conclusion: If you’re worrying about getting the Galaxy Buds+ because of this app, don’t worry about it. If you follow the instructions properly, the buds+ work great for iPhone. **IF YOU WANT TO CONNECT TO A DIFFERENT DEVICE, TURN OFF BLUETOOTH FROM THE SETTINGS APP, THE PROCEED CONNECTION, I HAD TROUBLE WITH THAT** Fun Fact: I have the BTS edition.Version: 1.1.5

Just What I Wanted - Galaxy Buds Plus on iPhone 11 ProI was initially concerned about the horrible reviews for this app, but it works perfectly for me. I am using Galaxy Buds Plus with the iPhone 11 Pro and pairing was very smooth. It does seem like you’re supposed to pair two things with Bluetooth, but the app was only able to pair one for me. No big deal though, I just paired the other one in the iOS Bluetooth settings. There was a firmware update available for the Buds, which I was able to apply easily in just a few minutes. My favorite feature is “Labs” “Double tap earbud edge” allowing me to control volume by double tapping the edge of the earbud. This basically gives you an extra button since you can still configure press + hold to be voice command or ambient mode for the main button. Being able to easily control volume was one of the main things that caused me to choose these earbuds. Also cool that you can see Buds and case battery separately and it even shows the red color for both! No manual EQ, but the presets are good enough for me. Overall, if you have a compatible device and the right Buds, the app works great!.Version: 2.1.0

Works great! Sounds great, too.I decided to try these after I wore out my original Apple AirPods. The battery life was what made me choose yours. When I read all the low ratings (after I got these), I worried that I’d have problems with them. But I’m one of those weirdos who reads the manual. I followed the directions, and had NO PROBLEMS with them at all. I poked around the settings, tuned them to my taste, and after a software update, am enjoying them. My main challenge is remembering what tap does what, and turning the tap sensor off until I seat them properly. It’s a treat to get something that works as it should, right out of the box. They play well with my iPhone 11 Pro Max, and I bet they’ll run with my iPad, Windows 10 laptop and whatever else I get..Version: 2.1.0

It really does work!!!!At first a left a one star review, so that Samsung would be able to notice the review and help me fix a problem, but now it works perfectly fine! First, I want to say that it only works on Buds Plus not the original buds. The second thing is that the buds plus wouldn’t connect because the app kept telling me to open Bluetooth sharing even if that wasn’t an option on settings. What I did that may help you is to restart the phone. Once it turns on again and the buds are connected, open the app and it will instead ask you right in the beginning if they could have access to the Bluetooth. After that, it worked well!!! This app honestly does deserve a better rating then what it has now..Version: 1.1.5

App is great! Read the description first!The app works exactly as its intended! It clearly states Galaxy Buds+ only and specific generations of devices! There are hardware limitations, that are listed! Also, you have to connect to them first in your Bluetooth settings BEFORE connecting with the app. Description also says this.... The ambient sound mode is particularly fantastic! The only improvement I could see is a custom equalizer? But the presets are probably perfect for most people. Digging the “dynamic” setting. The Galaxy Buds+ are completely worth it. You’ll see fantastic reviews all over everywhere. (I don’t want to admit how many reviews I watched). Don’t pass them up just because of the low app rating. 100% fully functional with fantastic app. No regrets! Thanks Samsung!.Version: 1.1.5

This Is An Amazing AppIt's sad that this app has such a low rating. It is an amazing app that greatly improves the functionality of the buds. It seems like most of the bad reviews don't actually have to do with the app, just people that are confused about what the app does. THIS APP ONLY WORKS WITH THE GALAXY BUDS PLUS. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER EARBUDS, IT WILL NOT WORK. If you have the buds plus this app does everything it says perfectly. It adds so many features and allows you to customize a lot of things. The fact that people give this app so many bad ratings because they don't read the description and see that it clearly says IT'S ONLY FOR THE BUDS PLUS is just sad. I hope more people who actually use the app leave more reviews so this amazing app can get the rating it deserves..Version: 1.1.5

No connectionI’ve had these buds plus for almost a year and about 3-4 months ago the slowly stopped working. So I gave up on them. But today I decided to see if I could get them to work because I really love them for workout with. I couldn’t connect the buds to my iPhone 11 (had for about 3 years now). I tried following the steps I’ve seen to disconnect the buds and tapping and hold the buds while in the ears to reboot them…nothing is happening. I’d love to be able to use them again as they are by far the best earbuds I’ve had. Anything to get them to reconnect to the phone would be great, but I fear the worst. Update: still not able to connect my ear buds to Bluetooth. The ear buds do not show up as an option to connect to Bluetooth. I’ve tried connecting to another phone and still nothing..Version: 2.1.1

Low reviews are because of user errorThe app works perfectly as long as you follow the directions. This app only works for Samsung Buds +. All the bad reviews are from people who tried older headphones with the app. This app is very easy to use and has really awesome features. Ambient sound is an amazing feature. I love hearing things around me while I listen to music. When I was listening outside while working, it was a pleasant surprise to hear birds singing in the background of my music. It’s a very important safety feature that all headphones should have. I also enjoy how you can change the touch controls and sound presets as well. Thanks for the great app Samsung!.Version: 2.1.0

Great ProductI had a galaxy s9+ it served well but eventually was demolished and I decided to check out iPhone, never having had one. I was psyched that my buds+ worked so well and hooked up so easily. Gotta hand it to those boys at Samsung. My ONLY gripe is I can’t do live listening with these like the iPhone ones. But that’s an iPhone thing. Great job Samsung! Edit: Apple has a feature available with their AirPods where once activated you can receive audio from your phone to your AirPods. A good example of this would be: once activated I can leave my phone in the bedroom with my sleeping son, and I could here him through the earbuds in the next room if he were to wake up. Plus any benefits for the hearing impaired of course.Version: 2.1.0

Great App and Earbuds work perfect on iPhone XI have a iPhone X and was hesitant to try and use the earbuds. I bought them as a gift and they didn’t want them. So I started using them. As long as you follow all the directions they work perfectly. These work way better than the Beats I got. The ambient noise helps without stopping my music to hear someone talking to me. Also, make sure you try all the ear fittings to make sure that you have the right pair so they fit in your ear without falling out. I had that problem with a lot of earbuds in the past. So looking forward to writing another review after a while of using them..Version: 2.1.1

App is quirky it seemsUPDATE: the app is still problematic with call quality. It sounded fine with a few calls but then the same delayed and interrupted quality reappeared. The issue goes away after uninstalling the app. I thought my galaxy buds + were defective out of the box because I was having horrible audio issues when making calls but turns out the buds are fine and the issue may have been with the app. I uninstalled the app, then connected the buds just using the Bluetooth on my iPhone, then reinstalled the app and reconnected the buds in the app and the call quality issues have gone away, and music sounds great too! So besides this hiccup the app is great, easy to use and nice features with being able to control the ambient sound on/off and equalizer..Version: 2.1.0

Great App Overall, But...So i’ve been using this app for a while now. Been using my phone to tweak my settings. But when I tried using my iPad Pro on it, it connects fine but the app says “Device not supported” or something along those lines, you get the point. I hope on a future update they would support iPads (Although i’m not sure if this is the case with all iPad models. I currently have the iPad Pro 2nd gen, and yes, I do know it’s Bluetooth 4.2, but it works fine on my iPhone 7+ which is also Bluetooth 4.2) But support issues aside, it’s a great app and I do recommend it to anyone who has the Galaxy Buds Plus!.Version: 1.1.4

Problems with loading updateAfter trying for two days, to do a new update or should I say install it has not been able to update due to software issues on their part. I have two pairs of these headsets due to the software issues download I cannot hear them, and can only use one at a time. How inconvenient is this? Wondering if I can send them back and get my money back for both headsets the copper one and the blue one. Since I can’t do an update, they can’t be paired. What’s the point of having only one that works at a time. What a waste of my money never again..Version: 2.1.1

I really wish you guys could add gaming mode on ios or any way of reducing the delayHi samsung so i bought the galaxy buds live 7 months ago and everything was top notch like even the audio is amazing but i only had one issue was expecting you guys to solve eventually but still didn’t so i connected them to a samsung device and they had zero delay when i press play for my using or games but when it comes to my ios device i did notice delay other than that everything is fine so i hope if there’s something you guys could do about it even if it remove a little bit if latency and thank you for your time have a great one.Version: 2.1.0

Needs support for Galaxy Buds ProI should have realized that Apple would nerf this app to inconvenience their users when using Samsung products in roundabout ways, but I never expected them to somehow stop Samsung from developing functionality for their newest Galaxy Buds Pro. As of May 2021, Samsung still hasn’t been able to release a version of this app with support for the special features of the Galaxy Buds Pro – namely the ability to customize what each tap does, audio EQ for the buds, and find-my-device features. Very disappointed that I can’t use the best true wireless stereo headphones on the market with the best phone on the market in the way they should work. Get over it, Apple airpod pushers..Version: 2.1.0

Does NOT work with current Samsung Buds! [Update]Current app doesn’t work with the original Samsung Galaxy Buds on iPhone. There is no CLEAR indication of this so be careful purchasing the original buds if you don’t want the additional capabilities that you can get with the app. Now for the update, I ended up purchasing the galaxy plus buds. They do work with the app on the iPhone. The app allows you to signal in on specific sounds within your music; so you can boost base or treble, etc. The voice through function is super helpful. Rating a 4 because I wish there was a way to boost overall sound, as sometimes the buds’ sound can seem low, depending on what I’m listening to..Version: 1.1.2.001

Great purchase !I bought the Samsung Galaxy Bud+ and it works perfectly ! Sometimes the left bud doesn’t connect right away but it’s an easy fix..Version: 1.1.3

Not compatible with Buds ProI have a Buds Pro. But its seems not to be supported here somehow. Is there a way to mitigate this? Thanks..Version: 2.1.0

Works great with the galaxy buds+I’m surprised that people are giving 1 star review when it’s clearly stated in the app description that this is for the new buds+ it’s even in the app name itself. So please stop giving this a 1 star when you don’t have the buds+ because if you do it works perfectly. So now that we can control everything in the App this by far better than the AirPods even the AirPods pro . I can finally do software update and change the touch control. Good job on Samsung team.Version: 1.1.2.001

Works for meSimple download and setup. Make sure both Galaxy Bud LE and Galaxy Bud are connected to Bluetooth after setup..Version: 2.1.1

Need a working updatedI’m happy with app, but I’m not able to update the version. It keeps on loading forever. Please fix it..Version: 2.1.1

Good application when using in iPhoneThis application is worked well, can connect with Buds+ in iPhone (for your information: not work with Buds 2).Version: 2.1.1
