1. To turn on-off the Sound Bar, adjust the volume, and change the settings for movies/TV/clear voice etc, I shouldn't have to navigate through multiple screens to do that.

2. its a nice sound, but too much of a pain to be worth it.Worked fine when it worked, but randomly will not find soundbar and you have to troubleshoot forever to fix it.

3. Trying to control it using the actual soundbar controls requires a Morse code like strobing of multiple flashing lights and turning it on and off...overall makes it a horrible experience.

5. I would love to use this app instead of getting up everytime I need to change the sound.
