Locks up a lot
Needs to be constantly reloaded
Kazoo never misses a beat
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…
Veer poor for such an expensive system
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

Linn Kazoo
Rubbish app, keeps crashing, unable to recognize Linn Select and then you loose all your playlists.
Regrets. I have plenty.
Spent a fortune on Linn products but this app is dreadful. We should have gone with Sonos.
The Linn App
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.

iOS 14.5
This broke the app. It now will not detect any my Linn zones now. Please fix!
Ok when it works
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.

Unstable
Since I updated to the latest version it constantly freezes
Terrible app
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.

Linn SW unreliability continues!
I updated to Kazoo 4.13.72 (on iOS 12.0) and immediately regretted it. The Linn community has put up with substandard software from Linn for too long.
The app now crashes, freezes and becomes unresponsive. This update has rendered it unusable. Unusable! Warning to Linn users - do not install this junk.
Linn, you really need to reskill your software team. Send them to an academy to learn the basics. Lesson one: Test your effing software.

Broken
Just updated to latest version and Kazoo shuts down after showing initial startup screen. Tried restarting iPhone, to no avail. Very disappointing !
Awful
This is absolutely the worst app ever
For some reason I can’t work out you put on a new album then after one song it reverts back to previous playlist
It’s so frustrating
I wish before spending close on 2k I had tried the app in which case would never have bought
Not surprising get poor ratings

A nice app!
Works wonderfully for me, controlling and playing music on a Linn DS streamer. It’s fast and snappy when browsing local and Tidal song libraries. Maintains stable connection, no issues there either. The other reviewer complaining about the app probably has issues in other parts of his network or system.

Can’t control play, pause, stop and track skip
No idea what happened here it used to work fine.
July 2020 update will not open
Since updating to the latest version (66), I cannot get the app to open
4.13.65 (July upgrade) doesn't work
Since the update 2 days ago the app has crashed to home screen on launch every time. Same thing in the Linn app.
Linn Music Server Ao
This Ap is terrible. It rarely connects without issues and is woeful when you consider the cost of the music servers is so high. Needs a lot of improvement compared to other products.
Ok but issue with search function
The search function just buffers.... admittedly I have 200k tracks to stream via a nas drive. However, it cannot search a group or single artist
An embarrassment
Magik DSM, Akurate dymnik power amp, 75mbps via Ethernet, mesh WiFi 65-70mbps, cuts out at random whether using an iPad Pro, iPhone 11, or a PC. Great sound but the interface is clunky, a far cry from the likes of Tidal, Spotify, Deezer etc. Hugely frustrating and for the price and reputation, I would have expected better.
After being contacted from the developer (& world famous manufacturer), even contacting them from a supplied link was impossible. This is everything that is wrong. The quality of the Linn DSM is undeniable, & all linn hardware.. The software/ app is a joke compared to the hardware. Why does my £100 JBL Charge 3 in the kitchen work better wirelessly than a lan wired Linn product in a dedicated music room? I have Tidal HIFI, my phone cuts out & wont recognise the 'music player', the iPad works sometimes when my phone cuts out, the pc works when the iPad cuts out...the pc belongs to the Mrs, who is a Lead Digital Engineer for a tier one contractor, this is with mesh speed tests averaging over 70 mbps.
Anyway it keeps cutting out, switching a £3k steamer on & off wasn't in the brochure. My £100 JBL charge in the kitchen never misses a beat, & that's not lan wired. Neither does my car. Why do al my 'inferior' products work with Apple, and if you've got an answer for that, why doesn't the dsm work with a pc that is practically powered by an Infinty Stone that can handle 4d models in Revit,Fuzor, 3dsMax... hardware excellence, software negligence. If you can't beat Spotify as an interface you need to go back to the drawing board. Especially when you email to discuss problems & the link doesn't work.
