### 2/5 — Bugs after last update

*2026-03-20, version 4.2.3*

After last update, the volume control in app don’t work at all. Also cannot change INPUT in app. Pls, fix it

### 4/5 — Please, need update for iOS 26.1

*2026-02-06, version 4.2.3*

L’application ne fonctionne plus sur iOS 26.1. Se lance et quitte immédiatement.

### 2/5 — Lächerlich

*2026-01-15, version 4.2.0*

Arcam AVR30. Die App hat schon unter Android nie vernünftig funktioniert. Nunmehr bin ich auf iOS (aber nicht wg. Arcam) umgestiegen und es ist nicht besser. Ständige Abbrüche beim Streaming Amazon Music. Somit als Ausweg, über die Amazon App zu streamen, läuft perfekt! Wenn ich mit der Arcam App vom NAS meine FLACS streame, auch HiRes, läuft es stabil.
Die Frage an Arcam bzw. Harman bleibt, warum die User über Jahre brutal und konsequent verärgert werden.

### 2/5 — Impossible de mettre une playlist en favoris

*2026-01-01, version 4.2.0*

Impossible de mettre une playlist en favoris, l’appli se ferme quand on fait ajouter une playlist en favoris sur Deezer (iOS 26.2)

### 2/5 — iPad

*2025-12-24, version 4.2.0*

It doesn’t work with Os 26.2

### 1/5 — Iphone17 issue

*2025-12-21, version 4.2.0*

Unable to start, crashing immediately. Reloaded, updated, restarted, nothing. That sucks. iOS version 26.2.

### 1/5 — Radio dorsn’t work

*2025-12-21, version 4.2.0*

When I try to play a radio station on my iOS 26.1 the app crashes (disapeard) and I need to open it again.

### 2/5 — Bof !

*2025-12-14, version 4.2.0*

On n’est pas au top de l’ergonomie et l’appli n’est visiblement plus compatible avec les derniers iOS. Ça craint vraiment !!

### 3/5 — Not working

*2025-12-13, version 4.2.0*

On iOS 26, this app doesn’t open, just fails after the splash screen. I used this app a lot so shame it hasn’t been updated to work with the latest OS

### 1/5 — Leider kein Support

*2025-12-08, version 4.2.0*

Leider wird die App nicht an das aktuelle iOS angepasst. Zur Zeit iOS 26.1 stürzt die App bei der Nutzung des Internetradios ab. Das Setup funktioniert nicht mit Safari, als Ausweg kann man Chrome benutzen. Ich hoffe, dass mit der Übernahme von Harman kardon die App in einen fehlerfreien Zustand gebracht wird.

### 1/5 — Abandoned by Arcam

*2025-12-04, version 4.2.0*

Bought an SA-30 no longer support for it. I’ve never had a company bend me over like this. It should be against the law to not support a product after you’ve paid $3000 for it. I will never ever purchase one of their products again.

### 1/5 — This app is burying an entire corporation – shame on you!

*2025-12-04, version 4.2.0*

Da diese App nicht mehr funktioniert, werde ich jetzt mein Gewährleistungsrecht wahrnehmen und den Kauf meines teuren ARCAM AVR rückgängig machen, da die in der Produktbeschreibung zugesagte Produkteigenschaft, diese App hier für die Bedienung nutzen zu können, nicht mehr zutrifft.

### 1/5 — Öffnet seit iOS 26 nicht mehr

*2025-12-03, version 4.2.0*

Die App war vorher schon nichts besonderes, aber seit iOS 26 stürzt die App beim öffnen immer sofort ab. Keinerlei Funktion mehr.

### 1/5 — Should be taken down

*2025-11-27, version 4.2.0*

Useless

### 1/5 — Crushing all the time cannot start

*2025-11-23, version 4.2.0*

After recent update of iOS on iPhone 14 simply cannot start, crushing all the time.

### 1/5 — AVR11

*2025-11-23, version 4.2.0*

Nie działa praktycznie żadne radio i wywala na iOS aplikację. Szmelc

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-04-01, version 4.2.3*

App does not work on Arcam AVR30 with iphone 17max or iPad Air. Remote control is the only feature working. No service eg. Tidal or Internet Radio is available. Despite of long conversation with Harman support issues have not been solved. The only solution received is to use online service via IP client.

### 1/5 — Does not work with Apple devices

*2026-02-03, version 4.2.0*

This from Arcam support:
We are aware of an issue with MusicLife. Due to the age of MusicLife, active development has ceased, which means that we are no longer actively working on adding new features or changing the code without reason. Consequently, any bugs or crashes that arise will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. If a fix is determined to be necessary, then development will re-commence to resolve this.
This is not a quick process, and as time passes, we move ever closer to the eventual cessation of support, as it is not feasible to develop the software indefinitely. MusicLife is already over a decade old, and mobile operating systems are continually evolving, so it is inevitable that more incompatibilities will arise over time.
With this in mind, we are happy to report issues to the development team, but we also cannot guarantee a timely resolution

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-01-25, version 4.2.0*

This app worked flawlessly with my iPhone 16 and when I bought the iPhone 17 I believe it is this app crashes as soon as I hit play in any app. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Leider unbrauchbar geworden

*2026-01-22, version 4.2.0*

Die App lässt sich seit erzwungenem Update auf iOS 26 nicht mehr öffnen. Hatte vorher schon oft gehangen, jetzt ist sie unbrauchbar. Ärgerlich, da ich den Arkam Streamer in Verbindung mit der App gekauft hatte, um Airplay zu umgehen. Schlechter Support!

### 1/5 — Does not work on iOS 26.2

*2026-01-21, version 4.2.0*

The most glitched app I’ve ever met in the hi-fi industry. Good devices - bad app unfortunately

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-01-18, version 4.2.0*

Updated software on arcam avr 20 and now MusicLife just crashes when I select something to play, not impressed at all, and yes I have reinstalled and yes my iPad has the latest software

### 1/5 — Can’t work on iOS 26.2

*2026-01-18, version 4.2.0*

App could not run on ios26, please fix it

### 1/5 — Compatible iOS 26

*2026-01-13, version 4.2.0*

Bugs appli tierce dont TIDAL plante même après réinstallation 
Certaines fonctions préservées :l’allumage et contrôle volume de l’avr

### 1/5 — Nie działa

*2026-01-12, version 4.2.0*

Niestety po wybraniu stacji radiowej i naciśnięciu play aplikacja sie zamyka… nie ma działania!

### 1/5 — Catastrophique

*2025-12-24, version 4.2.0*

Une application qui me fait envisager de changer mon Arcam CDS50 tant elle est calamiteuse. Pas de contrôle de volume, qui se ferme quand je lance un album, option de recherche inutilisable, options de changement de plages incompréhensible. Un vrai fail de Harman Kardon. À déconseiller à tout ceux qui ont une patience limitée. Je conseille à la maison mère de rétablir rapidement sous peine de profondément décevoir les utilisateurs. Dommage parce que le son rendu est magnifique.
Tellement pénible à utiliser…

### 5/5 — Underrated

*2026-06-12, version 4.2.3*

Probably the only free DLNA - UPnP remote control app that actually works.

### 5/5 — It Works

*2026-04-22, version 4.2.3*

A very welcome upgrade to work with later iOS for iPhone. 

Thank you.

### 5/5 — Internet Radio 再生成功

### 5/5 — Very good

*2021-12-03, version 4.1.6*

Wonderful the apps play very good and it was exactly what I need. I’m using this apps everyday.

### 5/5 — Superb app that works seamlessly with the SA 30

*2021-09-19, version 4.1.4*

I use this to stream my own music from my NAS. It works seamlessly. I love the new layout compared to how it used to be and the fact I can set favourites. This is particularly good for radio stations. Along with hapless playback I’m extremely happy.
