### 2/5 — Naim Response?

*2026-03-05, version 2.12*

It’s not just that radio has stopped working on equipment, but seems to be a lack of response to reviews from the company.

### 1/5 — Instabile App

*2024-12-15, version 2.12*

Die App ist leider so instabil, dass ich inzwischen meinen Naim-Server gar nicht mehr benutzen kann. Auch neu laden der App hilft nicht. Andere Software gibt’s nicht. Den Naim-Server werde ich wohl wegschmeißen. Aber als die App auch noch funktionierte, war sie von der Bedienung leider unterirdisch. Vielleicht versteht Naim etwas von Analogtechnik. Von der Bedienung einer App Naim hat leider keine Ahnung. Es reicht nicht mal für einen Stern. So etwas Schlechtes habe ich schon lange nicht mehr auf meinem Telefon als App gehabt.

### 1/5 — Pessima

*2024-05-21, version 2.12*

Mai aggiornato e continua a crashare

### 1/5 — Incredibile!

*2023-03-04, version 2.12*

Da anni cliente Naim. Ottimi prodotti!
Purtroppo l’app non viene aggiornata. Da tempo.
Forse dopo avere speso del denaro, anche parecchio, il cliente Naim avrebbe diritto a migliore trattamento.
E nessuno riscontra…
Grazie, comunque

### 1/5 — n-Serve

*2021-07-15, version 2.12*

Very poor app. Consistently fails to look up the right album, deletes added artists, deleted corrected track names etc.. Naim could and should do better. Not worthy of the Naim brand.

### 3/5 — Falls rather short of the mark

*2021-06-11, version 2.12*

Why on earth is Internet Radio “not supported in this version”? My Naim HDX has Internet radio capability- whyever can the associated iOS app (also from Naim) not play nice with it?

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2020-02-13, version 2.12*

Using this app from an iPhone - when I say using - all I can do is see what’s on my unitiserve and see if it’s connected to the network. I can’t ever seem to be able to play anything using the app - it shows the albums says “playing” nothing happens at the sound end of my system. Only when I use the Naim app does any actual control happen

### 1/5 — Pretty useless

*2020-01-09, version 2.12*

Doesn’t work for uniti core.

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2019-06-09*

When is Naim ever going to get its software right. The thing jus doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — No end of problems

*2019-02-16, version 2.12*

I deeply regret buying my Unitiserve. The connection between the app and the device is constantly dropping even in a good Wifi zone and I constantly have to reboot to get a connection. Torture!
