The one I was playing with yesterday was not at all laggy. It seemed very responsive so perhaps later ones are better? It seems to control anything connected on your network and possibly bluetooth products so that's most of my products excluding I/R products. It has to be an improvement over that app. I have gone grey and must have lost 10 years dealing with that the last few years!

B&O App … what happened to volume control?
33 replies
I don't mean it's laggy controlling the products. More that the interface and interaction with the halo is a bit choppy. But since its just a glorified volume control it doesn't matter much.

Still no volume control for the BL50. I guess it came back on some kind of beta test app ? I use my BL50 with an external streamer connected by RCA. It’s a nightmare to use without volume control, perhaps the interface designers of the B&O app should know that BL50 volume can’t be controlled by beoremote one …

It's back on the beta though. While not ideal, I wouldn't be scared of the new beta - you get volume control back, and its not especially different in other respects from the main / non-beat release.
Thank you Sandyb ! Your contributions are always useful, thanks to your advice I now have an external streamer with my BL50 and it brought them at another level ?

What? Do you know what you are saying?
Spend 40,000 euros on speakers and you can only control them through an experimental unproven app? And you think that is OK?
It is very very far from OK!
Get real!

I agree its not ideal.
But the beta app is fine, you're acting as if its some completely different animal than the regular / non-beta, which it isn't.

I’m not fortunate enough to own a pair of Beolab 50 but I have seen a number of bugs in the non-Beta app recently, such as:
- After beginning playback on a speaker the volume bar is empty. Changing the volume on the device itself causes the app to update.
- The playback controls for a device (usually my BeoSound stage) don’t work so I have to use the remote.
The app is certainly better than some of them, but it does not make me feel good as a customer to be finding issues that should have been caught by QA.

everyone seems to agree that the b&o app is mediocre , rather inquiring for a premium brand…
it is high time for b&o to recruit interface designers and developers at the heights.
the bullshit has lasted long enough
