BeoPlayer App Updated

52 replies

I am a little disappointed that they did not make it iPad smart ... when I use the 3X option its cover art graphics are disappointing.

But it was nice (but no real surprise) to be able to use it to play "Net.Radio" through my ATV2 :-)

My experience with version 1.2.3:

Radiostations: OK

Music: every attempt to click a title shuts down the BeoPlayer

Let's wait for an update!

Another question: To whom may I send suggestions for improvement, Ikatu, B&O, which department?

I have a suggestion.  Test apps before releasing them!  This was sloppy.

Using the new version on a brand new iPhone 4 (not S).  ALL FEATURES WORK PERFECTLY.  Partner has the same phone, but a bit older, and he has similar troubles to those mentioned on this thread.  Quite strange.

This version BeoPlayer allows you to access iTunes music and NetRadio from the same screen.  Drop down tab for elapsed time, repeat, and shuffle.  For what it does, iTunes, radio, and clock, it does them very well.  Need a real iPad version.

Had the same problems as mentioned previously but turned the phone off then on again and all was fine.

Does the phone really need to be charging for the alarm function to work?

No, restart doesn't help. The clock still doesn't move...

I can confirm: The clock stands still, restart of my IPod touch doesn't help.

Update to Music: After  switching off my iPod 4 4G and switching on I am able to start a title. The app shuts down, but the title is playing on.

The clock: It really shows only the time it has been shown up. If you want to know the actual time you have to switch to another tab and switch back to see the real time and that it is still time for an update 🔔

I'm really appalled that B&O allowed this update to be available with all the bugs it has. Didn't they even test it?? IMHO, B&O needs to fire their entire software devlopment team and have it replaced. The same can be said for the software develpment for the BeoSound 5. Terrible bugs, crashes, and omissions of basic features such as gapless playback. It's a shame that B&O makes such quality speakers, sound systems, and tvs when the horrible software develpment naturally defeats all of the other achievements.

I totally agree with BeoJeff, beautiful systems with terrible software problems.  This is why I love Apple so much because - they work! period!
