## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Barely usable

*2025-03-25*

Bought my gold note IS1000 deluxe less than a month ago and have to say the app drops too often for a $5k amp. Tried to address with the dealer who claims to have contacted Gold Note but no response.
As they say in Italy “una fregatura”

### 1/5 — Awful App

*2023-12-03*

I try to use this App for my Gold Note DS-10 streamer/DAC. It has to be the single worst mobile app I’ve ever used. It drops every few minutes and then the App crashes. 

How this thing ever made it to market is beyond me. It is unreliable, buggy and just not remotely ready for commercial use. I love the Gold Note streamer when it works. But that is rare.

### 2/5 — Beware Volume Issue

*2023-02-24*

This app often defaults to nearly full volume which sets my speakers at ear deafening volume and could blow my speakers. The developers should implement a user defined default volume setting or limiter to fix this issue. Other than that it work pretty well but the volume issue is a serious design flaw.

### 4/5 — Great Streamer & App

*2022-12-23*

Amazing, with Qobuz its an amazing sound.  On the app works perfectly, BUT, please do a landscape layout for iPad, it’s really irritating having to look at 90 degrees to the keyboard.

### 5/5 — Best Streaming App I’ve Used

*2020-12-24*

Controlling the DS-10, this app is flawless. Easy to navigate and intuitive, the GN Control app connects quickly and stays connected without the occasional drop offs and dead ends that so many apps have. Only thing GN could improve is the volume. Ability to bump up and down in dB increments would be nice.
