### 3/5 — Fortschritt ??

*2026-04-09, version 1.3.1*

Die Oberfläche ist „stylischer“ als bei Undok. Aber ich finde Undok übersichtlicher. Es sind auch 2 Sachen verschwunden, die es bei Undok noch gab. Zum Einen wird die Lautstärke nicht mehr in Zahlen angezeigt. Und bei Undok kann man noch über die App die Sommerzeit ein- bzw. ausschalten. Dann funktioniert Undok mit alten und neuen Geräten, wenn auch nicht so stabil mit den neuen. Oktiv funktioniert nur mit den neueren Geräten.

### 3/5 — No search

*2026-03-15, version 1.2.52*

To use with Roberts Rambler Max, there doesn’t appear to be an option to search America, and more specifically, there is no search option to directly find a station

### 2/5 — in development

*2026-03-04, version 1.2.52*

Slow startup and operation , Internet radio presets added to the home screen should have a station logo icon!

### 2/5 — Keine Verbesserung gegenüber UNDOK

*2025-08-27, version 1.1.18*

Ich habe zwei gleiche Radios, lediglich ist eine davon deutlich neuer. Das alte funktioniert nur mit UNDOK, das neue mit Oktiv und UNDOK. Und UNDOK funktioniert deutlich besser! Oktiv verliert regelmäßig den Kontakt mit dem Radio im gleichen WiFi Netzwerk und es dauert gefühlt ewig, bis wieder eine Verbindung da ist. Optisch ist Oktiv schöner, und kann mehr kontrollieren, aber leider halt nicht zuverlässig.

### 2/5 — Déconnecte régulièrement

*2025-07-31, version 1.1.18*

Je trouves l’application bug pas mal surtout pour mon enceinte Majority Touro est impossible de régler l’heure de l’appareil

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2025-06-14, version 1.1.8*

This app really isn’t that much different to UNDOK. I’m kind of fed up of app releases like this that are overly hyped up. Other than that it does randomly disconnect sometimes and the favourites sometimes aren’t synced. I am really disappointed and I wish this app had some better features over UNDOK. The only reason I’m using it now is the nice UI blue dot that isn’t even in most parts of the app like Bluetooth. My radio is an Elan Connect by pure

UPDATE FOR RESPONSE: no comment on the fact that the app is the same?

### 2/5 — Oktiv app

*2025-05-31, version 1.1.8*

It’s supposed to be an easy interface for my new Roberts radio. However it is slow to load and often drops out altogether. This makes it very frustrating to use which defeats the whole object. Each time I pick up my device to use the app, it has to reload even if the app is already open. It often struggles to find my radio. Will be asking Roberts if there is an alternative product as this one is almost useless. Sorry  to the developer but I have to be truthful otherwise there’s no point in reviewing.

### 1/5 — Tragedia

*2025-02-07, version 1.0.96*

Miała zastąpić UNDOK a jest wola zawiesza się i nie da się z niej skorzystać.

### 1/5 — Infuriating and lazy design

*2025-01-01, version 1.0.96*

I was given a Rouark radio for Christmas and I am a returning it because this is the only app that supports its and I cannot wake up each morning to such an infuriating system. 

1. Setting Standby on the app seems to prevent the radio alarms from going off. 
2. Stop function doesn’t work on radio (I’m listening to the radio, I want to use the stop button - the button responds but doesn’t impact the player)
3. Dead end journeys where I have to hard restart the app in order to get back to any kind of “home” (this is in Discover)
4. Why can’t I add new presets from home - there are design conventions of a + which I would expect to see which would allow me to browse and add a new preset. 
5. If I’m listening to the radio and “browse” it stops whatever is playing. - I have to go back to home and select the preset I want to listen to which loads very slowly.

### 3/5 — OK but has bugs

*2024-10-27, version 1.0.58*

Well thought out, and when it works correctly, it makes using the device easy and enjoyable, unfortunately it does suffer from a few bugs, e.g the play/pause control when playing mp3’s just doesn’t work. Also needs constant refreshes when searching for internet stations, and other similar issues with controls not seeming to register. With some debugging though, this will be a great app for controlling the digital radio.

### 1/5 — Non trova dispositivo

*2026-05-24, version 1.3.1*

Pessima. Ho provato in tutti i modi ma non riconosce il dispositivo che altre app riconoscono senza problemi.

### 1/5 — Schlecht, Schlechter, Oktiv

*2026-03-22, version 1.2.52*

Voller Fehler und das UI+UX ist sowieso ein Desaster!

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-02-05, version 1.2.52*

Worked well initially with Ruark R2. Now cannot use without disconnecting R2 from mains power and restarting Oktiv app. Will work until switch off R2 and then won’t connect again. Useless!

### 1/5 — Poor update

*2026-01-25, version 1.2.52*

Worked & connected fine to my R1S before this update .. now doesn’t. In app messages are useless.

### 1/5 — Inconsistent Connection

*2025-12-30, version 1.2.49*

I have a Roberts Rambler Max radio. At least 50% of the time the app doesn’t see the radio. So I try to search for it by IP Address. 80% of the time it will find it. 20% I just walk up to the device turn it on and forget the app. If I manually power it up, even then the app won’t see it about 50% of the time. 
Once connected it’s fine, but it is very irritating that it won’t connect when opening the app.  Very poor.  Update Dec 25. Disabled 5ghz WiFi on my router and connection to the radio has improved a lot.

### 1/5 — Verliert ständig Netzwerkverbindung

*2025-12-05, version 1.2.44*

Der Verweis von Loewe auf diese App war nicht hilfreich, da die Netzwerkverbindung mit meiner neuen Klang S3 immerhalb noch Minuten schon dreimal getrennt wurde. Da muss wohl noch an Meshumgebungen gearbeitet werden, da die Loewe-eigne App das Problem bisher nicht so gezeigt hat.
Way to go…

### 1/5 — Nur Probleme

*2025-09-24, version 1.1.20*

Im Gegensatz zu Undok geht die Verbindung mit den Geräten immer wieder verloren. Es nervt einfach nur noch. Verwende wieder Undok, das nach wie vor zuverlässig funktioniert.

### 1/5 — Incredibly slow and unreliable

*2025-09-14, version 1.1.18*

Using Oktiv with Kenwood CR-ST100S. The app is incredibly unresponsive, every click takes 5 seconds to process and most of the time the app can‘t connect to the radio. The router is less than 5 meters away, that can‘t be the problem. Very disappointing, unfortunately :(

### 1/5 — Amazon Music - Eigene Playlists werden nicht mehr geladen

*2025-06-28, version 1.1.18*

Nach dem Update werden meine eigenen Playlists  on Amazon Music nicht mehr geladen….

### 1/5 — Soll das hier wirklich die Weiterentwicklung von UNDOK sein?

*2025-06-08, version 1.1.8*

Sorry, aber da kann ich mich nur drüber kaputtlachen 😤☹️😂
Die App ist ein Witz und hat zudem noch unzählige Bugs.

Setzten, 6.

### 5/5 — Endlich..!

*2026-04-07, version 1.3.1*

Endlich funktioniert alles wie es sein soll,viel schneller als Undok. Ich verwende die App mit Teufel 3sixty.

### 5/5 — pleasantly surprised

*2026-02-20, version 1.2.52*

I recently bought a Ruark R1S.  I wasn’t expecting much from this app after reading reviews here but have been pleasantly surprised. I have found it intuitive to use have been able to use all its features without issues.

### 5/5 — Ruark

*2026-01-03, version 1.2.49*

It works brilliantly with my Ruark R1 radio.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2025-12-26, version 1.2.49*

Great app.

### 5/5 — Bug risolti, 5 stelle meritate

*2025-12-19, version 1.2.49*

Il bug con la ricerca Deezer con il mio device è stato risolto, 5 stelle meritatissime, grazie!

### 5/5 — Funktioniert tadellos

*2025-10-31, version 1.1.20*

Schöne Oberfläche, gute Funktionalität; benutze wlan und habe keinerlei Probleme.

### 5/5 — Roberts

*2025-07-09, version 1.1.18*

Works really well with Roberts iStream3L on the same network

### 5/5 — Oktiv mit Majority

*2025-04-11, version 1.0.100*

Die Oktiv APP funktioniert bestens mit meinen Majority Humboldt. Macht Spaß damit das Radio zu bedienen.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2024-10-18*

It connects easily to my Internet radio, and displays the graphics that you would see on the radio screen, but larger, and gives a better description of what’s playing than what’s on the radio screen.  It would be nice if the battery condition of the radio was displayed in the app; also, being able to store a favorite into the radio through the app would be a nice update, too.

### 5/5 — Seems fine to me

*2024-01-15, version 1.0.56*

Happy with this simple app
