Best app interface

By HS2012 (Pcmac user)

I have owned/tried Sonos, HEOS and Bluesound. For the app, I put BlueOS on the top. It has far more functionality than SONOS so it is inevitably more complex to design but it is well done. HEOS has similar functionalities but USB attached often failed to read/play whatever reason where same drive worked flawlessly on Bluesound. HEOS fails to connect when I’m on satellite station of mesh network that is separate from the speaker, neither Bluesound nor sonos have this issue. One thing Bluesound felt weaker from app stand point of view is its setup. I never struggled setting up these devices but for bluesound I had to try several times. I don’t know what made it work in the end but I know instruction with wifi setup was incorrect. Overall, I love bluesound hardware and software but too bad I’d has a major flow for me just in SONOS or Bose that is audio lag/latency even direct aux input connection. Only system I encountered this to be not issue is HEOS speakers but not their soundbar HEOSBar. Bose and SONOS are aware of this delay and haven’t/can’t fix it so I believe Bluesound is also in the same situation. Another down point is Bluesound soundbar has no center channel so true 5.1. It also lacks HDMI input. I wish there is a perfect system.
Buggiest app ever

By 6294748101737363819 (Pcmac user)

It is a true shame that good audio hardware is all but ruined by software bugs and an app that is so inconsistent and frustrating in its performance that it pretty much drains all joy out of the listening experience. I use two pulse 2s as a stereo pair in a vacation house, having acquired them in July 2018. Even leaving aside the fact that they’re already obsolete and effectively deprecated when it comes to playing local music off an iPhone, I now budget 1-2 hours per weekend for tinkering with the speakers and the app just to get the two to work and play well together every weekend I spend there. It used to be more until I worked out what amounts to a personal punch list of bug fixing steps since tech support was of no help despite at least a dozen exchanges. Would it kill Bluesound to display some evidence of sentience in their software engineering (going for baby steps here, as actual competence seems to be a utopian goal for this company)? It’s not just aesthetically and technically atrocious; it borders on unethical.
App loses connection to device every day

By mtranberg2869 (Pcmac user)

I use the app with a NADm10 and every day the app will loses connection to the device. I can still stream to the m10 via airplay but access to any other streaming services through the app is unavailable. Can’t access settings either. It seems to happen when I’ve left the network for a while (I.e go to work) and then reconnect. The only solution I have found is to restart my phone. If not for this pretty bad usability issue the app has been good.
iPad app lost feature

By Alx141 (Pcmac user)

When rotating an iPhone to landscape orientation the now-playing screen comes up and also shows a row or tiles at the bottom depicting the album covers of everything in the queue. Awesome! The iPad app used to do the same thing if you enlarged the mini now-playing screen that used to be located at the bottom of the play queue. Well, the latest software version on iPad lost the functionality to show the album covers for all the songs in the queue and there is just the cover for the currently playing song. Please bring back the row of album covers for queued songs; it was a unique and useful visual presentation and differentiated your app from other player software. And please don’t take it away from the iPhone’s landscape view :-)
