Thank you to our Sponsors
Investing time in a highly interactive widgets on iOS might not make a lot of sense at this point in time – iOS 14 introduces significant changes to the widget API,
Thank very much for the feedback directly from B&O.
It would be nice to get feedback from B&O more often, what thoughts and ideas are behind it. This comment is not limited to app development.
But anyway, who needs a widget to open an app, I don't understand the use-case?
Some lazy folks maybe, to save 1 click and a swipe ?But anyway, who needs a widget to open an app, I don't understand the use-case?

I have been using the widget both on my iPhone and iPad. In fact it has made me use the B&O regularly vs. just AirPlaying to my speakers. I guess it just depends on your workflow. The convenience helps for me.
Can you elaborate please? Where do you find it more convenient than directly open the app?. The convenience helps for me.

I have an Avant 55 MK1
Using the widget brings me directly to the remote control screen. Otherwise I need to start the app, select the TV and then select the remote screen.
So 1 click opposed to 3.

If you would read my post on the previous page (Aug 16 2020 1:44 PM), you would see that I already described this behaviour.
However, this goes only for a V-product.
The widgets behave differently depending on whether a V- or an A-product is choosen.

In my case I have 10 different icons displayed in the B&O widget. What ever icon I click, it just opens the app.
So I still not get it, I can open the app via the widget or directly. So 1 click vs. 1 click, where is the advantage?
OK there is no disadvantage, neither. That is probably the way how to see it.
It must go to the selected product page, so one step farer than just opening the app.What ever icon I click, it just opens the app.

Unfortunately not on my iPad Pro 11 2018. But no need to fix it, I anyway see no benefit in the widget ;)
I would prefer that all the other bugs and issues on your list would be solved first.
I was just giving mbolo01 my user case which is more convenient than starting the app and clicking through the menus.If you would read my post on the previous page ( Aug 16 2020 1:44 PM), you would see that I already described this behaviour.
