### 1/5 — No longer working

*2026-01-21, version 1.7.31*

Four years later and still NOTHING I updated and it no longer opens. 
Same for Kef stream. 
So I expected this upgrade especially for airport issues.

### 1/5 — Company has no respect for customers

*2025-09-08*

Company does not take responsibility for their products last update 2 years ago what a shame

### 1/5 — What it is

*2025-08-24, version 1.7.31*

Absolute trash.  What a waste of money for the speakers.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-08-24, version 1.7.31*

Below expectations. You even cannot control with its remote. What a shame for such a “premium” brand.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-02-25, version 1.7.31*

Перестало работать на iOS 18.3.1

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2025-01-26, version 1.7.31*

Hilariously not working. Like nothing is working. It’s really hard to find something that’s working. Avoid KEF & their jank software. Sound is great but software ruins it ALL

### 1/5 — Nicht nutzbar ❕

*2025-01-24, version 1.7.31*

Ganz selten - fast nie - kann eine Verbindung hergestellt werden. 
Ob Bluetooth oder Wlan … . Bei Bluetooth werden die Lautsprecher zwar kurz erkannt, dann aber wieder rausgeschmissen. 

Absoluter Fehlkauf ❕❕❕

### 1/5 — Приложение не запускается.

*2024-12-15, version 1.7.31*

Приложение открывается и сразу закрывается.

### 1/5 — Die App ist eine Katastrophe - leider sehr unübersichtlich /

*2024-11-23, version 1.7.31*

keine Infos über Update .. Verbindung ist schlecht

### 1/5 — Vergognosa

*2024-06-24, version 1.7.31*

Trovo incomprensibile il fatto che un brand di questo prestigio lasci marcire un’app gia nata male, facendo restare in panne gente che ha speso 2400 euro per una coppia di casse. Lo streaming da Tidal è talmente buggy che fate prima a cantarvi i pezzi da soli.
