### 1/5 — Locks up a lot

*2026-02-10, version 4.15.15*

Needs to be constantly reloaded

### 5/5 — Kazoo never misses a beat

*2022-11-16, version 4.15.5*

I have been running Kazoo with two DS players, a server and 200k music tracks for years now with complete reliability. It has fulfilled the promise of network streaming…

### 2/5 — Veer poor for such an expensive system

*2022-11-05, version 4.15.5*

The app doesn’t work for me - I can’t play music through it. The is very poor. The different apps and website (you need to use multiple different apps to control the system) is confusing. My smart speaker (2% of the cost of the linn) works so much better - pretty seamlessly.   Linn please up your game with the digital interfaces

### 1/5 — Linn Kazoo

*2022-08-28*

Rubbish app, keeps crashing, unable to recognize Linn Select and then you loose all your playlists.

### 1/5 — Regrets. I have plenty.

*2021-10-05, version 4.13.83*

Spent a fortune on Linn products but this app is dreadful. We should have gone with Sonos.

### 1/5 — The Linn App

*2021-08-29, version 4.13.82*

The Linn App is the most quirky, unpredictable app that I have ever attempted to use. I have been extremely disappointed with the Linn App.

### 2/5 — iOS 14.5

*2021-04-26, version 4.13.77*

This broke the app.  It now will not detect any my Linn zones now.  Please fix!

### 1/5 — Ok when it works

*2021-03-07, version 4.13.76*

Basically it locks up every other day so you have to delete the app and reload. Doesn’t like iOS. Didn’t work with Qobuz for 9 months but that’s improved. The developer needs to provide updates for each iOS update ASAP. 
Otherwise it’s very slow. 
If you’ve bought Linn equipment you’ve handed over a lot of money, so Linn’s neglect of this app shows contempt for their customers.
At least Kinsky (the previous app) didn’t need reinstalling every few days. 
Reported the problem to Linn, heard nothing back. They’re obviously not interested once they’ve got your money for the hardware.

### 2/5 — Unstable

*2020-12-18, version 4.13.75*

Since I updated to the latest version it constantly freezes

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2020-12-12, version 4.13.74*

After an update for “stability improvement” the app has never crashed more than it does now...(and it crashes constantly anyway)
You’d think these folks have an idea about technology and quality. It is beyond sub standard.
