Naim app for iOS - Version 4.1

Posted by: TJ on 29 September 2014

Hi All,

Thanks for the feedback on the release of 4.0, especially to those who were able to send detailed reports of their issues, it was a great help in tracking down some of the compatibility gremlins. A new version is with the Apple review team and will hopefully be publicly available sometime this week. Below is a list of changes and additions.

A great list of fixes and adds -- THANK YOU!

 

For next time . . . Showing the iOS's top-of-the-phone display of wifi status, battery status, etc., either all the time or at the option of the user, would be great.  We really need to see if our battery is running down without exiting the app.

 

THANKS again,

Bart

Thanks for the update. All good.

 

Please add consider adding volume cotrol to the playing banner without opening it and a 'muted' indicator next release.

 

Thanks

Wow, thanks. Have been home at all this week?

 

Hopefully, the black-green legacy styling will be with us soon?

Well done, that's amazingly responsive. For the future moving the mute and booklet further from the volume slider would be great. But for now it sounds like the identified issues, rather than simply wants, will be resolved.

That's great news!

How realistic is it to add play/pause, volume, prev/next track to the lock screen so one doesn't have to log into the phone to make basic playing adjustments?

I agree, for me, lock screen functionality would be the biggest improvement, but I doubt it will be possible for non-Airplay devices.

Wow! That's quick :-) However, been playing around with the new app for a couple of hours, I agree regarding the volume control to be available "all the time". And of course the green/black style. Pleeeasee :-)

I see that the "Clear Upnp cache" is missing from the new app. Can you add it back ?

Posted on: 29 September 2014 by engjoo

Nice to have: Add Naim styles of different era. Chome bumpers, Olive etc...

It's in there under Settings -> Input Settings -> UPNP -> Clear cache
