BeoRemote App + iOS 12

25 replies

Quick heads up, I installed iOS 12 last night, and BeoRemote App crashes on start up.

I am on iPhone 7, iOS 12.0

I use this way more than the B&O App despite the newly added remote function, so a little disappointing. If you find the app indispensable, maybe consider holding off upgrading until we know what B&O's intentions are wrt to the Remote App....

Same here on iPhone 6. Crashes constantly. Hopefully an incentive for B&O to make the remote in the B&O app more intuitive.

iPhone 6 and IOS12 since beta: no problems...

Interesting, are you on build 16A366? 

I tried reinstalling the BeoRemote app, but it just crashes again, once it finds the TV and loads the source list. 

There won't be an update to the Beoremote App. The new B&O app is designed to replace it.

I asked B & O via Twitter for the following answer:

"Hello, the Bang & Olufsen Remote app does not work with iOS 12! the app always crashes, operation not possible! when is there an update? The last Update was 5 !!!! Years"

Hi Erich, thank you for your message. I'm very sorry that the BeoRemote app isn't working in iOS 12. As far as I am aware, we are currently trying to migrate all of these features into the B&O app. However, I will be checking with our technicians to be sure. As soon as I get more information, I'll let you know.

Cheers Boxsti! 

I hope they can push out a fix for it, especially given the B&O's own acknowledgement that the new Bang & Olufsen app is not up to standard as a TV remote compared to BeoRemote. I don't think I'll hold much hope if they outsourced the dev of that app though...

Oh.. Just realized I'm talking about the new B&O App; not the remote app... Sorry.

Besides the problem with BeoRemote,

there is also some issues with the Bang & Olufsen app..after updating to iOS 12 the app freezes and looses the connection to my BV11 when I am using the new remote function.... the problem occurs when I am switching between the different remote “side🙁

I think that problem would be fixed soon, But software development doesn’t seem to be B&O’s strongest side, the app has been available in a couple of years now, but I still think the Old Beoremote app is working better.... at least until iOS 12 came on the market.

I have recently switched to the B & O app because the Remote App does not work at all and crashes!

But the B & O app does not work as desired and freezes!

I can only advise you to report directly to B & O so that you know that it is not an isolated case!
