Hi all 

I'm sorry for my absence as of late. First of all, it has been a well-earned and needed summer holiday second, we have been brewing on something new. First some background. When we announced that we would remove BeoMusic we received a lot of negative feedback on the new app, both for missing features, but also on our UX approach in general. In any software team and in any company this creates some stir and cause for reflection on our work so far. We came to realize that we agreed with many of the grievances of our users and if we wanted to change track we should act now. So, we got to work with fresh eyes and with all the complaints given in our feedback channel both politely and angrily. This resulted in an entirely new navigation pattern and a new and Deezerless onboarding experience. We have also put the products we know you love front and center, in other words given them the position they deserve. This is just to mention a few things, there is much more. 

We have just put the very first beta of this on TestFlight (in review as of writing, should be out shortly) and would love you to check it out. Bear in mind this is early bits and still rough around the edges.

This is the highlights

• New navigation
• New Home view for easy and beautiful product access
• Easier multiroom control
• Easier access to standby
• New player
• New onboarding experience (no Deezer unless you want it!)
• New product settings page 

Known issues

• Occasional products become unreachable, we would love to hear if you experience this
• Multiroom group disappears from the app in setups with many access points
• Product takes a few seconds to connect when coming from the background
• Meta data flickering in player bar 
• Some product images are missing

If you are a beta tester please use the feedback in the app for bug reports. If you are not a beta tester, please drop me a message in here and I will add you. Looking forward to your comments. 

Best regards,

Thomas Andersen, Bang & Olufsen
