This is also why I like the BeoSound 8 approach.  B&O speakers BUT keep it Apple when it comes to this download technology!!!  After reading so many problems why would i want to invest my money in something that will give me IT problems when my iPod/iPhone have zero problems?

At least they're consistant.  My first purchase was back in 1990 when I bought, among other things, a VX5000 VCR. Within 24 hours I ran into a bug in their firmware for scheduled recordings of weekly shows. They had a fix, but whoever heard of buggy VCR software for a basic function? And don't get me started on the Beosystem 3, or the Beo5 whose screen wouldn't shut off.  Don't they have anyone in charge of testing?

Unlike those experiencing problems, the new version of the Beoplayer app is working perfectly on my four idevices (two iPhone 4s and two iPad 2).  This version seams to be a lot more refined than the free version I previously used on my old iPhone 3Gs.  I'm not sure if it is the iPhone (4s v 3Gs) or the software, but the display now stays illuminated when plugged into the Beosound 8, which I rather like (particularly with the clock).  Also, while I previously had the free version, the upgrade has apparently brought me up to the full version as I now have access to all the radio stations.  I don't recall if the old free version had this but I like the fact that you can, when viewing the clock, swipe to the left or right to change the intensity with which the clock is illuminated.  This can be very useful when using the clock in a dark bedroom.  In addition, I can now play audio stored on my idevice (including Apple Lossless files!).  I noticed that the music browser doesn't include music in my home share library and only includes locally stored music files in addition to net radio stations (but that's OK with me).  Moreover, I can now use airplay (with my aTV2).  Overall I'm very pleased with this version of the Beoplayer app and can see myself using it (which is not something I did with the old free version).

The only shortcoming in my mind is that the clock is limited to the 24-hour format.  There doesn't appear to be a setting to change this nor does the app change the time format to match the time format set for the idevice.  It would be nice if there were an option to have the clock presented in the 12-hour format.

Also, there really needs to be an iPad version.

Update: Perhaps I should have done a more thorough investigation of the clock.  As others have indicated the clock is stuck for me as well.  While the clock always shows the correct time when I switch the clock on, the clock doesn't update to continue showing the current time.  That is, the clock continues to show the time it was when I switched the clock on, and does so until I switch to another screen.  Obviously this needs to be addressed.

It's understandable for anybody getting the full version as an upgrade to be happy (it now is a paid app and does not require in-app purchase, but upgrade is still free).

However, have you actually checked if the clock was moving? Because exactly on iPhone4 and iPad2 for me it doesn't move. I actually paid for a very expensive app and am not happy with a clock that isn't doing what is supposed to.

... clock is not moving ... (BeoPlayer 1.2.3.505M - iphone 3G SW 4.2.1)

Everything works fine on my Iphone 4 with IOS 5, I can access all radio stations, which is great! The rest is more or less like before, the only thing I can't access is my Itunes library on the MacMini, although both Remote & LinkRemote apps see the whole library, the BeoPlayer app sees nothing. I ticked all the "share library" boxes in Itunes, but nothing happens..🙁

If you look at the update log on Itunes AppStore, it clearly says that the new version 1.2.3 offered "upgrade to paid version" and "bug fixes", so it looks like you no longer have to pay to access 13,000 + radio stations..?So what more does the paid version offer?🤔

Hello,

I had the free version on my IPod touch and the AppStore showed the availble update. After download (for free!) I assume I have now the full version on my IPod, because the AppStore shows now the Beoplayer app for 12,99 EUR and that it is already installed on my IPod!
