No working

Spotyfi no working

thousands of dollars thwarted by a 50cent app

I bought speakers for the entire house; I have fiber optic cable and high-end wifi. The app constantly drops the speakers and requires multiple device reboot attempts to reconnect. Love the hk hardware, but this app is an epic fail. I'd return everything in a heartbeat if it was still under warranty. Wait until HK comes out with a robust app.

Useless !

Why would this app only have a Wi-Fi option for connecting your phone or other devices to your HK Bluetooth speaker(s)?
If I'm using any device at home - it's connected to my home Wifi network. Why would I want to drop that connection just to connect my device to an HK speaker or set of speakers?
Check out the app for UE speakers. They did it the right way.

Best app from the legends

Overall app is really good but the you should add the feature of being able to seek the songs because sometimes we like to directly jump to the drop or a particular verse of the song. Thats the only thing which is annoying otherwise the speaker and the app both are marvelous.

Still needs work, please add or fix the following

This app has improved but it still needs a lot of work.

First, Deezer streaming service crashes regularly. I don't have this problem with Tidal so not sure what the problem is with Deezer? Also, Tidal HiFi is not supported- even if you are a hi-fi subscriber the quality level is downgraded to 320kbps MP3. So much for taking advantage of the hardwares' ability to play CD-quality or higher.

Also, not all volume controls on an iPad work (e.g. iPad hardware side and lock screen volume buttons).

Other requests: display streaming bitrate/frequency info (or at least some indication when HD streaming is occurring), add gapless playback, add custom settings (ie buffer size, EQ), keep current playlist even when wifi disconnects

Very excited that support for Google cast is coming, hopefully that will be rolled out soon? Also, I assume this means we will be able to use these speakers with an app like Plex that supports Google cast and that the original Omni speakers will get this feature?

Dont buy

Dont waste your money! If you have more than one device, neither the app nor the speaker will work. We reached out to HK for help or a refund and they denied both. Now our speaker is just an expensive dust collector.

Worse than ever

System doesn't work. It's worse than ever. Problems to connect multiple speakers that suddenly disappeared. I don't recommend anybody to buy the speakers. I think Sonos might be more stable. Completely unsatisfied with my 5 speakers.

The App crashes every 10-15 minutes

The speakers are fine but the app keeps crashing every few minutes and it doesn't keep any settings in its memory(i.e. Playlist, room selection, volume, etc.)! Can you give this App to Sonos to fix?!? Because I'm starting to switch over!

App does not work at all

It keeps saying to connect to my device via Bluetooth..but I am already connected and streaming music to it!!

Then I won't connect or show any wifi, it stays hung searching for one. Even though my phone is connected to wifi.

Then, when I try to share my wifi settings from my phone, nothing happens.

So the app does not work at all. Clearly, this is an app developed by a one-man team, designed by the developer maybe. Cannot compete with sonos.

Help

Hello everyone, I have a problem with this app.
When I open it I can't see the bar menu that should be on the right, instead the app just goes "looking for a room" and then "no rooms found" so I click "set a new room" and do all the process, I connect my Omni 20 with my iPhone and it works, but when I close the app and go for open it, it starts all over again saying "looking for a room" then "no rooms found" and I have o set up everything again.
Anyone knows what's the problem?? Thanks
