Ratings and reviews

ok, I understand all the 1-star reviews here. people are frustrated because the app disconnects. I just got my LS50s, and yes I had a couple moments of turning the app on/off, turning the speakers on/off to get the wifi connection re-established again. But it works now, though I have to press the "cast" button inside Deezer sometimes to make sure it goes to the speakers and not the phone. I'm on Android, the speakers appeared in my Google Home, and I have a simple wifi setup (no mesh).

No doubt the app is extremely sensitive to Wi-Fi signal changes. the work around I found, if you're using a mesh system, is limiting the speaker to 5 gigahertz band and preventing it from roaming between different meshes. Just pick the closest and strongest satellite. Do the same for the handheld device. Basically lock'em together. Also, the app takes some times to sync with Wi-Fi while the speakers never disconnects. Meanwhile, you get no speaker msg.So be patient.

Do not buy the LS50s hoping to use this app for high res streams. Does not work with Amazon Music, or the other "supported" apps. KEF Support is useless. All of a sudden I'm getting an error when I try to open Amazon Music from within the Kef app. In general, this is a slow and clunky app that severely limits the functionality of the Amazon Music experience. Very sad.
