The app usually finds the Brennan within a second or two then disappears. This saves you having to type in the IP address of the Brennan B2 or BB1 and gives you one touch access to your Brennan from your phone or tablet. This can be even more useful if you have a wireless router that often changes the IP address assigned to the Brennan.
App could be better.It’s not accepting when changing speaker input from Brennan speaker( home theater speakers) to Sonos speakers.Keeps playing and unable to pause or stop from app.
Unworkable interfaces
nbolay
I own three Brennan B2 and all are basically expensive paper weights. The device itself is great but Brennan struggles with front ends that either don’t work at all (the Apple phone app) or are cludgy at best (web interface). Communication with the B2 seems to be the problem. This phone app is constantly losing connection with the B2. If Mr Brennan could solve the front end control problems, he’d have a winner….but after struggling with my B2s (interfaces) for years I’m not holding my breath. This iPhone app simply does not work.

This thing has got to have the absolutely worst software interface. I’ve been at it all day trying to get this to find my Sonos speakers all for nothing. The people that are supposed to be providing support just repeat the issue that I’m having without instructing how to fix it. This is an awesome idea but I don’t think it’s ready for prime time. Not everyone that purchases it is an IT expert. For the price of this thing it should be plug and play.
