September 2018 - Naim App Update

We are just about to release an updated version of the Naim App – available for free download later this week from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store – that makes it easier and quicker to discover and control your Naim products.

Here are just some of the improvements in the new release:

• Improved discovery system – making it easier to find products and servers.
• Improved Rooms screen look and feel – making the App slicker to use
• More support and tips – including enhanced troubleshooting 
• Improved responsiveness of transport controls (iOS only; Android to follow)
• Improved ripping monitor feedback (Android; iOS improvement made in earlier release)

Some fixes to minor issues have also been made, including:

iOS (v5.11)

• Fixed an issue where default Radio favourites may not be recognised and could be duplicated.
• Fixed an issue where the order of inputs may change between launches.
• Fixed an issue where it may be possible to browse TIDAL using a deactivated account.
• Fixed an issue where it may not have been possible to favourite a TIDAL created playlist.
• Fixed an issue where firmware information may not be updated immediately after a firmware update.
• Fixed an issue where you could not skip to the first track when repeat was enabled.
• Fixed an issue where extended characters in a Room name may hide the entire name.

Android (v2.8)

• Fixed an issue where the default text colour may clash with the background on certain devices.
• Fixed an issue where setup may fail as location permission are not requested.
• Fixed an issue where the multiform picker may scroll to the top every few seconds.
• Fixed an issue where the USB and Radio inputs may erroneously be disabled.
• Fixed an issue where it may be possible to browse TIDAL using a deactivated account.

The above improvements are part of a detailed review of the Naim App, which was first introduced in 2010. As well as immediate upgrades, we’re investing significantly in further developments and additional functionality for the future, to ensure we offer a user experience worthy of our class-leading audio products.

For those technical-minded users out there: we no longer just rely on the industry standard UPnP methodology, but have also added mDNS (Bonjour) and direct connection techniques to the process. This gives us a better platform to develop even stronger App experiences as products, technologies and devices evolve.

Don’t miss out on all these improvements: make sure you’ve download the updated Naim App for your Android or iOS device, and keep your ears open for future updates.
