Latest Version of the X App for iOS Keeps Crashing - MUSIC / RADIO button press

26 replies

iPhone 8 Plus, B&O App Ver. 1.1.7

Each time I press the Music or Radio button on the bottom of the App window, the App crashes. It plays music from the Play Queue fine (which incidentally is missing the "BACK" arrow on top of the screen now).

The fact that the App crashes on two of the major functional buttons makes it virtually unusable because now, a users don't have access to either their library / DLNA / Radio stations.

Is there any way for B&O to roll back and release the previous version? iTunes 12 doesn't have an Apps section any longer, so the only "store" is the iOS store, which doesn't seem to have that capability.

Is anyone else having this issue?

I have the same problem. It keeps crashing and the app is unusable!

i have fed back to B&O via multiple channels but no response.

sigh...

Users shouldn't have to roll the dice each time B&O pushes out on update. This is truly user hostile behavior, however unintentional - B&O please TEST your application functionality more thoroughly!!!!

If you want to keep people buying B&O, or attract new users, your software can't be amateur hour.

I've figured out a way to revert to an older version of the App, but that requires that you've saved older versions of the B&O App somewhere on your computers (I'm using a Mac, so this may be slightly different on Windows).

Note: Since B&O unilaterally removed BeoMusic upon release of the B&O App well before it was mature, I took it upon myself to begin to save each version of B&O Apps upon updates to my local HDD, that's why I have an older version if you were wondering. Okay, the instructions:

 

  1. First make sure you have an older version of the B&O App stored locally on your computer. I had 1.1.5 which worked fine.
  2. Delete the B&O App from your phone
  3. Connect your phone to your computer
  4. Open iTunes
  5. In the sidebar under "Devices" you should see your phone; drag and drop the older version of the B&O App over the name of your phone as though you were adding it to your phone's library, you should see a blue highlight appear as normal. Once this completes, you should have the older version of the app on your phone.

 

I've shut off auto update apps on my iPhone to prevent B&O from sabotaging my Essence's usability. 

Unfortunately, I can't post the older versions of the B&O apps I've saved because they were purchased using my AppleID, so they won't work without authentication on your devices.

Good Luck!

Same here, IOS 11. App is useless now

I couldn't agree more. B&O's weakest area now is with its software development. If they can't get the software right in a timely manner, it's time for new talent.

it´s now like the discontinued supported beolink app - it´s crashing! - come on b&o!

Hi

 

I have exactly the same issue since the app was updated yesterday!

 

So frustrating... onto my second moment in a few months and this one isn't working properly either!!!!!

 

I'm really regretting having bought  the moment and using the APP!

Maybe not for this thread but what problem do you have with the Moment?

Issues with the Moment include constantly cutting in and out, stopping (even though my WIFI was installed by a Bang and Olufsen recommended specialist at great cost and can be picked up several houses away!).. 

Every few days I have to reset the tablet and or sound heart.

I also have incorrect artwork for a number of albums.. as well as album artwork changing from one day to the next!

Its infuriating!
