Ratings and Reviews
From bad to worse!
Just reopened app after not using for a month or so and I am actually shocked at how terrible it is now.
Pure Connect used to be excellent a couple of years ago, being able to play my music, podcasts, etc. stored on the phone or stream radio stations from all over the world. Then, it stopped working due to a change in iOS. When the app was ‘fixed’ a few months later, much of the functionality was lost but was still useful as a worldwide radio player.
Now, all that’s available is the station the app played when it was last used!
With such shoddy customer experience and support, I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER PURE SPEAKER. Which is a shame really, as the sound from Jongo S3X is excellent.
Didn’t work - does now.
I had this app. on my iPad (running iOS 12.4), it kept advising that there wasn’t a network connection (although it did work). Finally it stopped providing the list of stations (although it was streaming a station but I couldn’t select any other station). I reinstalled the app., after that it didn’t work at all - kept reporting no network connection. Very disappointed.
UPDATE The iPad is now at 13.3, I have downloaded the app. again and it is (currently) working. I don’t have Jongo speakers so can’t comment on the Jongo issues reported by others but the iPad does play the app. just fine through my stereo’s USB socket. Only three stars at this time (until the app. proves itself to be stable in the longer term - sometimes it reports that it does not have a network connection; although it is playing okay it could be that it is buffering and using the buffer cache to keep going).
Further update: There doesn’t seem to be any way of reporting ’wrong’ or missing stations, for instance selecting Angel Radio Isle of Wight gave a different station (I think it was Codesouth FM) and a station that opened a few months ago (I live just on the edge of the coverage area so cannot rely on my radio) is not listed.
Should be better by now
I’ve run out of patience. There should be more features on the new version by now. Not only have you removed login on the iOS 11 compatible version so that I have lost all my favourite stations, you could at least implement a cached search so it remembers what I’ve searched for before. I don’t seem to have bass/treble control and the radio categories are so badly put together, along with the non-existent search function that it's almost unusable compared to the old versions features. I get you’ve got to build it up but please convince Pure to add a couple more devs to speed up the velocity! Pure - you owe it to your customers who’ve paid for your products!
