The A2 worked flawlessly for me, but I'm experiencing the same problem as you Davieiv with my A6. The app needs work. My A6 is on and playing and the BeoPlay app doesn't see it. Just checked, and the SW for the A6 is current. Oh well. It is fine just as it is. 

I'm curious why B&O chose to release a separate app, rather than integrating some of the functionality into already existing apps? BeoMusic, BeoRemote, BeoSetup, BeoPlay, I'd really find it refreshing not to have so many separate apps, rather than one single "BeoCentral / BioControl" App which can do what all of these do in one place.

Perhaps you should use another computer? It sounds like it cuts communication while flashing firmware or that you do something wrong.

It worked on the same computer with an 'old' Beolit 15 (gold color) but it didn't twice with the new silver one! So I don't do anything wrong. It stucks immediately when I press continue to start the update... and I instantly have the message telling to reconnect and try again.... I wanted 2 Beolit 15 to use as stereo. But I'll give up.

I agree with this. It is not exactly clear what to use which app for. The Beoplay app seems more or less a Beosetup for Bluetooth devices.

You should just ask your dealer to update it before you leave the shop.

For the record the app only works with A2 & BeoLit 15 currently. It's designed only for the BT only products. Not products that support Wifi + BT. The idea is that the Wifi products will in most cases be on a network and therefore have access to the portal for updating. Not sure if the BT headphones will get the ability to talk to the app or not. In the app description it tells you what products it's compatible with currently. 

Seems like the update brought battery indication for Beolit 15 over bluetooth as well. But not displayed in the iOS notification center or up by the bluetooth symbol as the H8 does. I hope B&O adds this in future updates so we don't have to look for a red light on the back of beolit 15 :).

Thanks for that, it helps. The interesting thing is that if you click + the choices you're given include the A6 and almost all of the BeoPlay line. The home screen, though, does only show outlines for the A2 and Beolit 15.
