### 1/5 — Astell&kern

*2026-08-02, version 2.1.2*

Really rubbish app want to find anything waste of time

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-12-04, version 2.1.2*

Never got it to connect my iPhone 15PM to my sp3000T no matter what. Wasted hours of my life. 😡👎🏼

### 1/5 — Its not working

*2025-10-18, version 2.1.2*

God guys you sell elite players for huge price, and cant develop working app. Unbelievable

### 1/5 — Criminally useless

*2025-10-01, version 2.1.2*

Worked sporadically on my iPhone 13 controlling SR15. Now will not connect at all.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-09-12, version 2.1.2*

No longer works.  AK SR35, firmware 1.22.  iPhone iOS 18.6.2.

### 1/5 — SP2000

*2025-04-30, version 2.1.2*

The free app for my 2nd $3000 music player isn’t working.  Thanks guys. This is my 5th AK player and the 2nd time I bought your top of the line model player.  And you haven’t updated this app in three years.  By not doing basic stuff like this, you’re making your own fans your enemy.  The people willing to spend the money feel insulted and won’t spend the money next time. It’s really that simple.

### 1/5 — 3000m사용자입니다

*2025-03-28, version 2.1.2*

케인 n8ii는 하이비커넥트로 연결이 잘 되는데 얘는 연결을 해도 앱에서 아예 인식을 안 합니다.

### 5/5 — Great App, Works for SP2000

*2025-02-05, version 2.1.2*

Still works today, I can remotely open my tidal collection on the SP2000 and listen through it, or use a phone as a remote to SP2000 while it’s connected to a home stereo. Very useful!

### 1/5 — 使用できない

*2024-10-04, version 2.1.2*

元々使い勝手は良くないですが、iOS18へアップデートしてからプレーヤーを認識できなくなりました。
WIFIテザリングではなく、Bluetoothでコントロール出来るアプリの方が使いやすいです。

### 1/5 — It’s useless

*2024-06-13, version 2.1.2*

Why the big with grayed out music in Apple Music is not fixed? May it is working with tidal,  it nothing more. Useless app
