This app works really well now.

And it controls non linn streamers.... thanks linn

Awful

I’ve been a Linn user for 25+ years. This interface is a throwback. Kinsky, which I now use more frequently is better. Not properly compatible with apple products. I have it installed on 7 apple devices. On three it will show tracks from my media server but, when selected, will tell me the track is not available.

iPhone 10 app crashes repeatedly, generally after two or three songs.

Linn,I love your equipment but am nearing the end of my rope. And it doesn’t help that you have shut down the community forum where others could help with solutions to issues.

Simple Resolution

I had a problems which I thought were caused by Kazoo but which were in my system. Kazoo have a ‘Report to Linn’ tab in the Settings section. Try this before writing a bad review and you may save yourself a lot of stress. They were great, and my problems were quickly identified and resolved.

Response from developer

Hi Nodcam, In order to assist you in getting the most from Kazoo, could you use the report to Linn feature and advise of your issues and I will assist you in resolving them? If you could advise which Media Server you are using, this would also be useful.

Check your Davaar is up to date

This version would not work on my iPad .... it turned out that I was running an old version of Davaar on my Akurate DSM ... once I updated to latest version, Kazoo worked fine once again

Response from developer

Hi Halycyondaze. I can advise that Kazoo is not corrupt. If you would care to raise a report to Linn from Kazoo, this will provide us details to look into your issue. I suspect you are not running the latest version of DS software. This is currently Davaar 65.

Updated version does not work

Just installed the update and this, at best unstable app, now does not work at all. Cannot load content from minimserver running on qnap. Cannot load any music to be played from alternative server. Simply does not work on the iPhone X and Kiko set up I have

Very very disappointed

This is my first experience with streaming music and this experience is enough to have prevented me from paying out a lot of money for a Linn streamer. This app is very poor, freezes every time I use it and I have to delete and download it again every time.

Response from developer

Hi Patrick. It is possible the issues you are seeing relate to the recent ios 11.4.1 update. If you could go into settings and then report a problem when you next see this issue, I can investigate further

Keeps freezing

I’m sick of deleting this from iPhone and re downloading as the app after a while freezes when trying to search to open..... very frustrating. When it works the app is ok but the playlist element is a pain.

Bad connection

My phone app does not connect well with the media server and I have to switch server off and on again for it to work. Sometimes even this doesn’t work. Also, not easy to add radio stations

Response from developer

Hi Musiclover£&@ If you are having issues with Kazoo, you can go into settings and click report to Linn and we can assist in getting your issues resolved.

Kinsky was so much better

Seriously, all I want to be able to do is to queue new tracks up *without* them interrupting everything else on the list and playing immediately. I know I can do this *if I really concentrate*, but PLEASE give me the option to add tracks to the END of my playlist BY DEFAULT (just like Kinsky used to do). It’s not rocket science.

Support roon!

This works but Roon is much better. Support roon so you can focus on the hardware as the control software is not as good in comparison.
