Ratings and reviews

My daughter loves falling asleep to old 70s rock on the Mu-So 2. Just one little issue: like every 2nd or 3rd time when I try controlling it with the app, I need to unplug the power cable and restart the device. Tried setting it up from scratch, no improvement. I love the sound of the device, but the way you guys program your software has made me lose faith in your products. If this doesn't get sorted, I don't see how you can keep up with Sonos &others. Integration is just key! So disappointed.

This App is a mess. At multitasking switching to this app every second time the app has to load from scratch. (On a galaxy s10) Switching Songs on Tidal inside the naim app lasts about 5 secs, when it doesnt freeze. The interface overall with animations look like an app from a first semester computer student. Spotify Connect with the spotify app works perfect! Song switching and the spotify ui are flawless! This App needs an Update from scratch. This is not appropriate for using 2000€+ streamers

I also have to attest, that this app and the whole music listening experience with Naim Streamers are getting worse, then better. I know there are many influences that are not under the control of Naim. But I also would very much appreciate, when the developers would be allowed to focus on a quick (!) and error free (!!!) operation. AND PLEASE! Ditch that useless animation at the start of the app. This is annoying as hell!
