Dear app users, here's is a summary of some issues/comments I could find in previous app versions related threads that are still valid with the new app iteration. I may have missed some, or some have been fixed since, so feel free to update the list while keeping all the items grouped for better reading (copy paste with changes).
Hopefully someone in B&O still reads this forum and cares.
Issues (new, re-introduced and on-going):
Note: I have opened a case (#200208-000081) on Feb 8th 2020 for all the points above but the "Cannot get the app to control BeoSystem 4500 and BeoSound 2300, each connected to an NL/ML converter." that i cannot support as I don't have such equipment and "Now playing screen: when changing a DLNA track, album cover is not displayed back until now playing screen is minimized/maximized" which may be a PLEX DLNA poor implementation.
Issues fixed in 3.1:
Issues fixed in 3.00:

steve1977:I have an old BV connected to the ML/NL. I’m looking to press “join” within the app to join NL streams. Exactly the same how i can join in with the core or all other NL devices via the APP.
Added to the enhancement requests.
steve1977:@Hiort, your multi-room page screenshot shows a TV with a “+” allowing you to join it? Does this work even if the TV is turned off? What TV is it?
Yes, I can join an ongoing experience from some of my devices. Either by using the app or pressing "join" under "List" on my Beoremote One.
That works even if the TV is off. It turns on the screen and display source and available metadata (no album cover though). After a while the screen dim.
The TV is an Beovision 11-46.
Hiort:In the multi room page, the upper left arrow does not work.
steve1977:I’m looking for “real” ML/NL support. This does not only include allowing the ML/NL to play sources from other devices, but also allow the ML/NL to join streams. That’s still not possible. I have an old BV connected to the ML/NL. I’m looking to press “join” within the app to join NL streams. Exactly the same how i can join in with the core or all other NL devices via the APP. Seems a simple fix, but still not implemented for years

ML works with sources. So the ML master can't decide which source it must start when it receive a JOIN command. The only way to make it work is to set-up the Beolink NL/ML (BLC) IR mapping appropiate (see example). But you will notice limitations (due to devices, ML and NL specs and set-up, etc). Note: still you must start the ML side with a remote.

steve1977:How is it implemented with other NL devices? How does an A9 what stream to join?
Tapping on the A9 (or other NL products) start/stop will join the latest NL product that advertised its stream. A double tap on the A9 (or other NL products) start/stop moves to the next active NL product. Simple and efficient.
You have always been able to start a ML source in NL with the app. But (to my knowledge) you never been able to start a NL source on a ML master with an app.
steve1977:The reason i’m saying it should be a simple fix is that it work with the predecessor of the B&O app (without a mapping table).
Just checked the original Beomusic app (still working on my wife's phone), but I simply can't see how it could be done. You can not address a ML master directly.
