Bricked my Air 200 speaker
Idiots—that’s who updated this app. It killed my speaker. I’m still trying to work out why. My attention is focused on the presets—one of which I stupidly changed. This crappy piece of software is exactly why I’m ditching audio companies who integrate such BS into their faulty hardware and can’t be bothered with QA. Cambridge Audio and their Chinese manufacturing are nothing short of junk traders... this software is proof of this. PITA.

Update has ruined my speaker!
I used to have the most amazing sounding speaker until this latest update. Now I have lost about 50% of the volume and the once unbelievable bass has been lost altogether! What were you thinking Cambridge Audio? I hope this is fixed soon.
Finally updated but not much improvement
This app is important in using several expensive audio components. Cambridge does not support their software well examples of this include: sleep timer no longer works and app is glitchy without any support. While Cambridge makes nice electronics, I recommend avoiding them given the horrible software support.

Useless
This app is totally useless. The so-called instructional video doesn’t play. The so-called options to change the pre-set channels doesn’t exist, at least as far as I can find. In addition, the iPhone set-up instructions for the speaker itself are just wrong. Would be zero stars if available. You’d be better off with a dumb speaker. Cambridge Audio, if you are listening, what on earth are you doing?

Waste of time
Comments exactly the same as previous reviewer. There seems to be no way now of setting the auto power down duration. I had a previous version of this app which at least worked with the apd function allowing you to have it switch off after a defined length of time. Wouldn’t work as an alarm though. Overall the auto power down function on Minx air is a real let down. It’s particularly annoying if you want to use the speaker when you don’t have a network connection. In this case the speaker shuts down regardless after 30mins. So basically not much use if you want to take it with you if you’re away from home.

Build it and walk away?
It’s near impossible to get any tech support for older gear and this is a case in point. Mine is an earlier version of the Minx speaker and has been a thankless struggle to get to work. This app can ... er... help set the radio stations. And that’s it. Auto time off function disabled? Really?
Poor show. Must do better.

Constantly crashes
Crashes all the time. Cannot preset from app as stated.
It’s pretty basic
It seems to fix the buggyness of the old minx app but you can’t power the unit via the app anymore. Also the auto power down doesn’t seem to work. Really it’s just an interface for searching internet stations and some EQ functions.
Broken
Agree with other reviews. This is an update of a preexisting app needed to work under current operating systems. Logos not showing, no option to specify timeout for power down, and both hard volume buttons raise volume.
Spent to much time trying to get this to connect.
I will have to resort to some old tech... rca plugs.. at least that works. A really nice product let down by a very poorly developed app and absolutely rubbish tech support... read none....
Be aware, it’s hit and miss... when it works it’s simply ace, when it doesn’t... good luck....
