New layout again.

Missing the "kill all" possibility in the app. Maybe hidden somewhere.

A bit odd adding a "marketing button" as I call the button with 4 squares to the far right...

App hasn't appeared for me yet but I do like that button on the bottom right to select the product.  I assumed that this was coming soon as it was shown online at the beosound 9000c release.

This is where you are coming if you press the button to the far right in the bottom:

well... easy enough to ignore. The app itself has way bigger problems.

Unfortunately, it appears they are just following the lead of almost all the other home product related apps on my phone.  They all have sections that hawk new and improved products, replacement parts, upgrades, etc.  Some of the worst ones make your scroll through that crap before you actually get to the useful features of the app.  At least B&O has placed this behind an easy to ignore button vs. integrated to the main product operation flow.

The App to me is broadly:-

80% One-Off Setup configuration of products

10% Running Setup/Configuration (Multiroom/volume/tones etc/listening positions etc..)

8% Music interaction and selection (Radio channels/FLAC on my NAS, no possibility of Qobuz for me yet)

2% Marketing guff I can read about on my PC or tablet...or here or other places about poor little Charles LeClarke etc...)

 

They (B&O) really have this App messed up into a gordian knot of uselessness. Just a fraction of the App is dedicated to music or video listening/watching and the interacting of such. Too much is dedicated to setup (which should have been long-fixed for ASE and Mozart platforms).

I hope Charles LeClerke and his fellow over-privileged ambassadors don't start eating into the remaining 8% of the remaining useful part of the App?

This feature was very useful when using the join" feature. Thus, a valuable function removed and a useless gadget introduced. What a mess!  I'll stick to 6.0.1 for the moment. Yann.

Odd, 6.0.2 on Android still has the "old" layout.

 
Thus, a valuable function removed and a useless gadget introduced.
Which has been the trend for the last two years...

Does anyone know how to delete a Sound Mode? Swiping right to left does still work with Listening Positions, but not with Sound Modes…

 

ps. I’m on iOS and it’s a sound mode I created myself, not the B&O ones.
