Moondrop app update is a pain – forced phone check & broken CAPTCHA
I’ve been using Moondrop gear for ages and love their IEMs, but this latest app update is honestly a nightmare. They now force you to verify your phone number just to unlock some AI service I never asked for. On top of that, the CAPTCHA pops up entirely in Chinese, which is useless for most of us outside China. And even if you put your number in, the verification code never arrives, it just errors out.
This isn’t a bug, it’s part of the new update. Which means you’re basically locked out of the stuff you actually need, like DSP and firmware updates, unless you jump through hoops that don’t even work. To make things worse, you can’t even see the battery levels of each earbud and the case anymore, which used to be one of the most basic and useful features.
Feels like Moondrop shot themselves in the foot here. Anyone else stuck with this? Honestly, forcing unnecessary services and breaking core features is a terrible move.
