Less functional than old version
Current version (1.0.35) has less functionality than previous versions.
Where has the option to change input source gone and the ability to change the power down time?
I expected more from Cambridge Audio.

Cannot change Auto Power Down setting
Other than changing radio station presets the only other useful function of the app is to change the Auto Power Down time (as described in the user manual). This function does not work. There is a on/off option but nothing else and if you turn it ‘off’ (ie APD is off) the system still turns itself off after a set time.
I want to use the system as a radio alarm clock to come on automatically in the morning (using an app) but because the system switches itself off it won’t work.
Please rectify this!!

Crashed immediately
Crashed immediately after update so can't test to check its fixed.
Generally the app hasn't ever offered many features, so its pretty useless, I find it best just to navigate to admin using safari and the IP address.

Wast of time
I bought a Cambridge Air 200 v2. It would have been good to have a dedicated app but this is just useless. When is works its only in portrait. Open the app and choose a radio station and then it disappears/crashes. This happens on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air, so no fault of the device. Why are Cambridge not updating this when competitors have some great apps for their equipment? Forget this app and get a popular radio app

Slow, crashes, and can't configure my air
What can it do:
- tune an internet radio station
- adjust volume
- sometimes set a preset station
- crash
What can't it do:
- configure the auto power off setting
- let you search for stations in an area (by zip code for example or based on the phone's gps location)
- display station names (only shows graphics and so if there isn't a graphic you can't tell what station is in a preset)
- give reasonable feedback as to what is happening. Did I really tap that station? Let me wait 10 seconds and see!
- let you have more that 10 favorite stations
- tune an internet radio station
- adjust volume
- sometimes set a preset station
- crash

This app is in desperate need of an update
-The app isn't optimised for iPhone 6(+) display
-Often fails to find the minx air
-Will turn off whatever's playing on my phone when opened
-Does not turn the device on and off from standby
-Takes far to long to connect and reconnect
-Preset saving isn't intuitive, and you seem to have to have 10 set, even if I only want 4 stations.
The app could should include many more options eg one time sleep, alarm clock style wake, that would make it great, but just like the speaker itself the exclusion of the the product has fallen short of what it could have been.
I own six Cambridge Audio speakers, and the Minx is just as disappointing as the app. It's extremely load when first playing AirPlay audio, and has far too much bass for spoken audio.
I hope Cambridge Audio are disappointed in themselves, they should be. I will research more when buying more than a normal speaker from them in future.

Really poor app
Really not great. Crashes frequently. Clunky interface. Impossible to modify the "auto power-down" settings in the device as there's no "save" option. This app really doesn't have to do much, but it still fails to do it. Apologies, but I'm not impressed.
