Hi all,

Today we have updated the iOS app in the app store. The app have received a lot of polish and couple of new features. So here is a couple of words on that: 

  • We have improved the transitions between the different views to be more fluent, especially regarding the header. 
  • The player drawer (our internal name for the small grey bar in the bottom) has been refactored to have information on the selected product. That means no more snackbar messages on disconnected products
  • All standby has been added
  • We have added simple TV support for BeoVision 11, BeoVision Avant, BeoPlay V1 and BeoSystem 4. This first implementation is very slim and only supports volume, channels, sources and expand. We do NOT support "wake on lan" and "my buttons" yet. Our TV support will evolve over time and this is the first step. 
  • Expand has been redesigned to have a more clear separation between selecting a product and expanding to another product. 

The app is still very new and bit rough around edges, our next release is planned for April so stay tuned.

Thanks

Thomas Andersen, Bang & Olufsen

PS. The updated Android app will hit the Play store tomorrow, we will keep them in sync from now on.

Hi PK

We're working on it, app support is almost there. We're waiting for the next Horizon software release before we can release it.

I have deleted the BeoMusic app that means I can only use the X all now.

It's a good app, I still prefer the new BeoLink2 app its amazing

No!

I actually like the multiroom tiles - since they made it possible to access that area in vertical mode too, I find it usefull.

I see no need for the new app right now.

I don't use Deezer, so not really much use for that app.

Let's see how it develops.

P.S And on an iPad it looks like a childrens book ;-(
