Urgently I would suggest to enable the Bang & Olufsen App to function without internet access within a home network (more details see

How embarrassing!
B&O sells the most expensive speakers of the listed competitors but offers by far the lowest quality App (based on the ratings in the US Apple App Store).

App Name                     Grade       Votes
Bang&Olufsen                   1,9             84
Teufel Raumfeld                4,0              2
BluOS Controller               2,3            126
Roon Remote                    4,5            101
Sonos Controller               4,8         600.703
Bose SoundTouch             4,7           69.854
iPeng / Squeezebox-App  4,7             880

Where is B&O burning all the money they earn more than the competition?

Great job, the new update 2.7 is available and two of my feature wishes (A.III and A.V of my first post) are implemented.
B&O please go on considering my suggestions for improvement. I am grateful for each single improvement!

Great to see, that A.III, A.IV and A.V (unfortunately only on iPhone not on iPad) from my wish list are implemented. Great and many thanks to B&O. Please go on!

In June 2019 with release 2.6.2 the app had a rating of 1,8 in the German App Store. Since then we see a continuous improvement of the app as well as  of the rating at the App Store. B&O overtook Teufel Raumfeld!

Currently the rating of the B&O app is 2,8 from my viewpoint that is more than fair rating. Looking at the user experience compared to the competitor apps many functionalities can be improved or are missing (see my wish list first post of this thread). There is still a long long way to go!

And it's not just B&O.

Unfortunately yes. But the question Bang&Olufsen should ask themselves, what does Sonos better?

Sonos has also some negativ ratings. But Sonos has a very strong community that loves the Sonos Controller app. In total Sonos has 135.401 votings (German App Store), most of which are very positiv.

Looking at the Bang&Olufsen App, there is nobody really using or loving this app, there is no community that supports it. With a total of only 80 rating and most are very negativ, it seems that not even the B&O dealer ship seems to be believe into the Bang&Olufsen App. Otherwise at least the dealers should vote positiv on the app.

If I were responsible for the Bang&Olufsen app I would look for a new job!
