Changes to N-Serve V2.5

Posted by: sktn77a on 18 March 2013

I just updated my iPhone N-Serve software to the latest v2.5.  It's sufficiently different that I am once again going through the learning curve to figure out how to use it.  A plea to NAIM:  please don't update user interfaces for the sake of change.  I realize additional functionality (for 2 NaimNet servers) was added but the user interface need not have changed.

I really didn't notice anything different from 2.4, but I don't use nServe much now -- usually nStream.

 

What threw you off?

Well, there are extra steps now in doing anything, but mostly just the different steps to get to the same point.  Why?

I'm using the n-Serve app to control my HDX. Didn't see much difference though...

 

Could you describe your setup and the issues you encounter?

I also use n serve 2.5 on my HDX, since its release, and dont recall any major changes?

Well, without going through the entire list: the play menu is different now;  the icon in the top right which used to control the play/info toggle no longer does this; the functionality is all in there somewhere but it's changed, which means you have to go through the new learning cycle (OK, I won't call it a curve).  It's like going into the local supermarket and they have changed the location of all the products (this may be unique to US supermarkets, but I suspect not).  Change for changes sake..........  I'm betting the person who wrote the app update is different from the one who wrote the previous version!

Could it be that the app is corrupt? The icon in the top left corner is still functioning in the same way, even after the update?!?
