First I was told to get rid of them by using the latest version of the Lumin app, which I already have. Then I was told that these ads came from Spotify, because I am not a premium member of that service, which I am not and don't want to be. In other words, to use the Lumin player, which costs thousands, you have to accept ads from a streaming service you don't. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-24, version 12.1.0* I find this app extremely easy to use. It does everything I want it to do. ### 5/5 — Overall the best *2025-08-19, version 12.0.0* I have used LUMIN for a number of years with Linn streamers. Tried all the others that will work on my iPad. LUMIN for me the best and most flexible. ### 2/5 — Upgrade *2025-07-26* The latest 'upgrade' made my DAC disappear but did add a volume control. ### 4/5 — Very good *2025-06-29, version 11.0.2* Possibly the best of the manufacturer-specific control apps. Roon is a better experience but it will cost you, and complicate your set up. ### 5/5 — Overall the best *2025-05-28, version 10.2.0* I have used LUMIN for a number of years with Linn streamers. Tried all the others that will work on my iPad. LUMIN for me the best and most flexible. ### 1/5 — Terrible app on a phone *2025-01-25, version 10.1.5* I don't understand why people are being largely positive about this app. It's really bad. I have a WiiM streamer on another stereo and the app is so much better because it emulates the UI that we're all used to (Tidal / Spotify etc.) I find the fact the way you have to add songs to a playlist clunky and conter-intuitive. And it just looks really bad. Scrolling rhough albums and songs should be a pleasant experince, this is like using a 90s media player on a PC. While I'm here I'll add that my LUMIN D2 had a fault a few months outside warrantly and cost me £500 to repair. So all-in-all I won't ever but LUMIN again, dspite the sound being excellent. ### 3/5 — The shuffle is broken *2024-10-20, version 10.0.1* So, shuffle shuffles everything you have, not just the Qobuz playlist you want shuffled. ### 2/5 — App needs finessing *2024-09-20, version 9.3.0* I have two LUMIN streamers and I have the application on both an iPhone & iPad - I find the app unstable with the need to reset the streamers more often than I would like. Furthermore the search function often registers a zero when there is definitely an artist/album in the library. Moreover it is picky about displaying artwork metadata. All-in-all as this is the only/best means of control I expected something more solid. Mediocre & disappointing. Please improve! ### 1/5 — The V 8.8.2 update the song playing interrupted *2023-08-26, version 8.8.2* Updated V 8.8.2 when playing song if switch from other apps back to Lumin will interrupting the song being play. Also sometime show offline. ## Frequently asked questions about LUMÏN ### What does this app do? This application allows you to browse your music library stored on a UPnP AV server.
