Altec Lansing Just Listen Hack 1.1.18 + Redeem Codes

Never have I ever experienced such a useless app. You can’t even control any of the functionality through the app and it doesn’t give you any information about your headphones i.e. battery life, being able to switch between music and noise cancellation seamlessly etc 😐. Probably will delete.

This app is simply designed to get you to register your device for warranty purposes. It has some sort of bizarre augmented reality function that is worthless. It has a white noise generator supposedly for breaking in the speaker. …and a means of contacting tech support which I did not use.

I was hoping for some sort of control over the audio and light features of my Rockbox XL. None such exist in this app. The audio quality of my particular unit is poor. It goes from super quiet to very loud but there is no depth to the sound field.

To be fair, this could be due to my unit being refurbished and lightly damaged possibly during shipping. This unit will be going back unless the seller will take $20 for it. I will update this review when/if I get a replacement unit.

My phone wouldn’t pair with my Altec speakers. I was following the manual instructions. So I downloaded this App and within a few minutes, late at night, I was texting with Altec Tech Support.
A different method of pairing was suggested and that method worked! My phone and speakers are now paired. Unbelievably quick service.
Thats what this App is for - - to get quick tech support.

The app is junk as it portrays the ability to reach out to the support team. It “Says” they answer IMMEDIATELY. Not so. I waited quite awhile to get no help. Then, when my new earbuds once again failed, I NEVER got any answer from the 24x7 help desk. The app says it has tutorials for the various products, yet, those don’t work. The app is just as bad as the company’s website that lacks utility. I was looking forward to my purchase today of the earbuds. Yet, given the problems that I experienced there, plus the bad app, website and lack of help, I’m returning it tomorrow.

Perhaps we are all destined to learn the hard way! There should be a law against these types of useless apps. Why ALTEC waisted the feeble effort in putting this app together is beyond any imagination. Those that say “it’s great for Support” don’t take into account the time and effort it takes to add the app to your device. Support can easily be accomplished in more efficient ways. Anyhow, deleted/trash! Shame on ALTEC for spinning such nonsense! Makes one wonder if their products deserve similar fates?

A lot of people are complaining because they used this app to tweak their speaker usage as advertised and it does not work. (Which is fair), but I downloaded this app to get technical support with my speaker. They solved the problem right away. I’m pleased. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I downloaded this app to get in touch with customer support and it works well. The chat person was pleasant, quick, and efficiently solved my problem. Perfect.

I also found out the app lets you keep track of your Altec Lansing products in a little inventory list. That’s pretty neat as I have multiple AL products.

The product information is limited and only has additional info for a few products.

But If you need to chat with customer support, this is the way to go.

I downloaded this app thinking that I’d be able to tune stuff on my boombox but… nope!
As others have stated, you can’t do anything here other than “break in” your speakers with some white noise (and I guess warranty claims)
Anyway, the website lies, you can’t do *any of the following*:

“Download the Just Listen App to fully customize your RockBox XL. Control your lighting modes, set EQ preferences, and discovery all the Altec Lansing has to offer!”

I was really hoping that a company like Altec Lansing would have a killer app that would add some sound dynamics to my headphones, but no such luck. First, it requires a serial number, which my headphones did not come with. So, I just put a random number just to get the app working. Turns out, I didn’t really need it, because the app adds nothing. Links to promo videos and basic info that I could easily get from their website. Don’t bother.

I thought this would be an app to control station, volume, etc. All I was able to do was register my Storm Catcher. The warmup break in feature is broken according to support. The workaround is to play music through Bluetooth at max volume for 8 hours. Really?? Play at max volume for 8 hours. That doesn’t make sense. Not sure why this is still in the AppStore.
