And when I try to play all songs it only selects the ones that has processed already, it only selected 630 songs to play. Im not sure whats the purpose of the long processing in the ak app does. I just wanna, Leave my SR25 connected to my speaker, when there’s a music that came up that I don’t like or it doesn’t suit the vibe i could just open the ak app, and just press next or select a music i like and still continues to shuffle all my 13k songs. My smart lightbulb app does way a better job, i go to bed, forget to turn off my lights across the room, open the lightbulb app, presses the off button and voila! The light turns off!. It does that in less than 10 seconds. ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2023-12-28, version 2.1.2* Hard to connect to SR15 - drops connection when I get a phone call. Then it's painful to reconnect. ### 1/5 — SP2000 *2023-12-09* The free app for my 2nd $3000 music player isn’t working. Thanks guys. This is my 5th AK player and 2nd of your top of the line model players. There are some things you guys should make sure is working. ### 1/5 — 아이폰 13프로맥스 사용중인데 *2023-09-09, version 2.1.2* 앱 실행조차 안됩니다 무슨영문인지 아이폰 8때는 잘 사용했는데 지금은 실행도 안되네요 개발자님 업데이트좀 해주세요 ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2023-07-09* I have an A&K ACRO CA1000, and my iPhone can not find it, or even find my NAS library. A useless app… ### 1/5 — 수준이 매우 떨어짐 *2023-07-09, version 2.1.2* 물건만 비싸게 팔지 앱은 신경도 안쓰고 연결도 잘 안되고 ui/ux는 수준이하고 그냥 블루투스를 이용해서 미러링 리모콘을 만드는게 훨씬 나을듯 ### 1/5 — 허허 *2023-05-10, version 2.1.2* 연결이 되야 사용을 하겠는데요? 자체 제작이면 사람 새로 뽑아야 할 듯하고 외주에서 만들었음 외주를 바꾸세요. 최신 안드폰에서는 버전 낮아서 다운도 안되네요. 기기값 500 넘게 주고 샀는데 지원은 차이파이만 못합니다. Hiby cast라도 보고 베껴야 합니다. ### 1/5 — Terrible company *2023-04-03, version 2.1.2* Terrible company, a host of their physical devices stopped supporting streaming services, and their workaround, which is this AK Connect app doesn’t work at all. Even 12 year olds write better apps. No idea how this archaic one trick pony company survived. All they do is pack powerful DAs and amps into bricks that have abysmal battery life. They have absolutely no clue on how modern application programming works. User friendliness is at the floppy disk level. ### 3/5 — 타이달 외에 다른어플 지원해주세요 *2023-03-18, version 2.1.2* 스퍼티파이나 유튜브뮤직 등도 추가해 주세요 ### 3/5 — Slow playback *2022-08-03, version 2.1.2* When I play a song, it takes few seconds to start and it makes the Play Next / Play Previous function so painful. Please fix. Anything other than that is just fine. ### 1/5 — Unzuverlässig *2022-06-09, version 2.1.2* Die App ist absolut unzuverlässig und eigentlich nur ein Ärgernis. ### 1/5 — Total Waste *2022-06-07, version 2.1.2* Did not connect properly. Tidal does not work. It is an unsupported app. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — 廢 *2022-05-14, version 2.1.2* 行藍芽好撚過噤撚樣連，我電話一連Wi-Fi自己斷線，把撚啊 ### 1/5 — ios에서 작동불가 연결안됨 일좀해라좀 *2022-03-13, version 2.1.2* 아스텔앤컨 다시는 사라봐라 안드로이드에서만 연결됨 쓰레기앱 타이달도 안되고 몇백씩 팔아놓고 사후지원 없음 쓰레기기업 ### 1/5 — Not working with sp1000m *2022-01-04, version 2.1.2* sp1000m cannot connect iPhone 12 hotspot ### 1/5 — Terrible App!! *2021-11-20, version 2.1.2* What’s a terrible app 9 out of 10 trying to connect never worked, 1 out of 10 connected but disconnect from time to time!! Name of app should be changed to AK NOT-CONNECT ### 1/5 — Tidal doesn’t work on older models *2021-11-20* AK just abandoned tidal support on older models like my ak70 mkii. They said I should use ak connect do to so. Problem is the app doesn’t work either, songs just won’t play on my device. Very disappointed with AK and paying a premium price on this device ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — IOS 17 用唔到，兩年都冇更新 *2024-04-02, version 2.1.2* Iphone15 pro max IOS 17 用唔到，快跟進吧。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — So far the only usable and bug free DLNA control point on iOS *2021-10-27, version 2.1.2* I’ve tried multiple DLNA apps on iOS including VLC and mconnect, non of them could handle play from upnp server to renderer bug free. This is the only one that works flawlessly including background progress syncing and playlist. Also the UI is pretty usable, so I give it a five star. ### 5/5 — Tidal Verbindung *2021-06-08, version 2.1.1* Hallo AK Team, bitte das Problem mit Tidal fixen, mein Player AK380 kann sich leider nicht mehr direkt mit Tidal verbinden. Aber die App könnt ihr locker fixen, please do it :) ### 5/5 — Хорошее приложение *2021-05-07, version 2.1.1* Использую с Astell & Kern ak120ii. Редко бывает что обрывает связь с устройством. В остальном всё устраивает ### 5/5 — Critical bug: Tidal favorites are displayed partially *2020-07-27, version 2.1.1* Please, fix one CRITICAL BUG in Tidal library: in Tidal favorite tracks the app displays only limited amount of tracks, in my case - nearly half of the whole list. So app doesn’t display the whole Tidal favorites list. Please, please, please fix it!!! The other review in Russian language says about the same problem, so this is the issue of the app. Second bug: songs in albums from itunes library (My music -> Albums) are displayed in the wrong order - songs of the album are displayed alphabetical, not in the order of album, so it’s very inconvenient to create new playlist and manually organize tracks in correct order like in album. PS. Sound is better than any app on ios with tidal integration can give, so i was happy to share this app in the largest music community of my country ;). Thank you! ### 5/5 — Великолепно! *2020-05-05, version 2.1.1* Не ожидал среди кучи мусорных плееров (в т.ч. платных) найти это замечательное приложение! Ура, теперь TIDAL используется по полной! Добавьте, пожалуйста, эквалайзер - и будет плеер мечты! Спасибо! UPD! Исправьте, пожалуйста, следующий баг - список фаворитов из Tidal загружается не полностью(iPadOS). ### 5/5 — KANNとiPhoneXにて使用 *2018-12-14, version 2.1.1* コネクトチャレンジ50回に1回程度、3秒間ほど繋がることがありました。 一瞬「お！？」と期待を持たせてくれてのお預け、僕のようなマゾヒストでなければ完全にお手上げだと思います！ ### 4/5 — Когда будет обновление? *2023-12-22, version 2.1.2* Периодически зависает и разрывает соединение ### 4/5 — Tidal is work. *2021-09-10, version 2.1.2* Tidal is already working. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Make my AK is more portable with control from iphone *2021-06-26, version 2.1.1* This apps matches what i need to switch songs while using AK Sp1000m with speaker. I can just change songs, select songs from Iphone, quite handy. It is good if you have music sever in computer then can play through AK to speaker. Require the update for Tidal login within the Apps AK connect. I can’t login to my Tidal account, probably due to upgrade from Tidal login credentials.
