So this is why the font size on my iPad Pro has shrunk to an eye squintingly small size!  The letters are about 2mm in height with capital letters being a 'whopping' 3mm.

I'm sitting 14 inches from the screen and can just make out the artist and song name.  Can we please have the option of increasing the font size of the artist and track?  What's the point of the iPad Pro's huge screen if you're going to have stupidly small information on it?  Other than that this app is really polished and my preferred app for music.

 

For those wanting to read it in iPad Pro Naim app size....

i had a problem installing this latest version on my iPad -- basically the installation process just froze -- didnt behave like other updates before. in the end, i just power-cycled the iPad and searched for the naim app in appstore and after messing about, i was able to install/update it.

after that, i noticed that when you have 'randomize' set on a given playlist, it didnt start with track 1 -- as it used to do before -- sems it now starts on a different track each time. I like this feature -- in fact i believe this is what it was like in n-serve (or in a previous version of naim app -- not sure) -- but i am pleased with tis feature anyhow -- better random seed i guess...

enjoy

I'm using it on my iPhone and it now cannot pick up my unitiqute in the room.  If I try to enter it manually is says the streamer is not responding.  Any ideas?

More clues needed.
Is the UQ wired or wireless
Have you tried rebooting the UQ & resetting the app ???
Posted on: 30 January 2016 by KenRose

UQ is wireless, and streams with no problem. Controlled via the remote. Only issue is with app on iPhone, which worked fine until recently. Rebooted both phone and UQ. Also deleted and reinstalled app twice. Updated soft wear on UQ today and also on iPhone. I'm at a complete loss. Both phone and UQ on same wireless network

Next question is have you changed from the factory default of DHCP  to fixed IP address.  If you have,  please go back to DHCP.     
 
You need to systematically restart everything & clear whatever confusion the system may have got itself in.
Turn the router, iPhone & UQ off - leave it off for 5 mins to be sure the ISP knows you are off-line.
Turn the router on & let it complete its full restart cycle
Turn on UQ
Turn on iPhone - it should work
If not - try resetting the Naim app one more time

Also, is it just me, I'm sure there was previously a little line that went through the speaker icon for the mute control when mute was on?  There's nothing now, the icon stays the same whether mute is on or off.  Took me 5 minutes to work out why I had no sound yesterday!

Thanks Mike, that worked.

Just tried to download the app on an ipad only coming to window where I have to register a mu-so.

I do not own a mu-so, so I don't understand this.

Posted on: 01 February 2016 by sjbabbey

You don't have a streamer listed in your profile either so not sure why you've downloaded the Naim app. If you do have a streamer you should be able to link this to the app by adding it as a "Room"

Posted on: 01 February 2016 by oldneil

Thanks Sjbabbey.  I'm waiting for a NDS one of these days, just wanted to download the app first.

The streamer needs to be connected to your network first. Then the app should find it, but until then, you can't access the app menu or settings. You'll just have to be patient!

Thank you, Chris, yes I just have to be patient..

Hello Chaps

can anyone confirm that since the upgrade they are able to use album lookup please. Mine continually searches for metadata! Or do I have a issue with my internet provider.

What exactly do you mean?

Posted on: 02 February 2016 by Burgy100

Hi Hungryhalibut,

When using the app and playing music I press the book icon to have a look at the album and flick the pages over to find more info. I do not get that far it just sits there trying to load the page with searching for metadata at the bottom.

Oh dear I am using and iPad 2 with Virgin broadband. Can anyone else confirm this

Ah, the Rovi database. It's not working here either, though it was fine yesterday. It must be a Rovi problem. I'll report the post to Naim so they can get on the case. 

Posted on: 02 February 2016 by Mike-B

Rovi not working for me either,  its a black screen.
