Ratings and Reviews
Needs modernising
The app could be more user-friendly. The search function is not sufficiently powerful. For users who are not tidal subscribers, there should be a way to turn off all the tidal title suggestions. The auto-cataloging feature puts some albums in the wrong category, or into different categories with similar names when they are actually the same.
Volume level number, iOS widget and Apple Home app integration
Will be useful if can see the volume level number especially when controlling it remotely where one cannot see the device display. Great if have iOS widget for volume and mute control. Can add Uniti Atom to Apple Home app but does not offer any useful functionality.
Value? No. Necessary? Yes.
Surprised not to see more reviews about this ap. The NAIM community is large enough! Anyways... this is a lot of money for what it is and shame on NAIM for not including it with their Uniti & HDX series. That grumble asside.... make sure when you install it that you configure your iPhone for your wireless LAN entering your routers WEP key into your phone. THEN... it will recognise your NAIM device which you can operate anywhere that your iPhone is in range of your router. As an application it is billy-basic but is a lot easier than trying to read the green monochrome display on the NAIM unit itself.
Was it worth US$40? No. Do you have any choice? No (unless crawling on the floor to read your Uniti screen is fine by you)
Having been a fairly loyal customer of NAIM for 15 years, this small and arguably "cheap" trick has definately left a sour taste in my mouth.
