Barely Functional

Other users found the same limitations. I would love to use my CXN more but this app ruins it, so I find myself rather getting a record, CD or tape.My library is huge and the app needs to re-connect to the CXN and reload the entire library every time I switch apps on the phone or iPad. This is VERY frustrating. The album search function is useless. You can't do anything until the entire library has loaded even though the album I want is already visible. Very annoying.Cambridge Audio, please have a more competent developer write a good app from the ground up!

I have a huge library on the NAS and it takes a long time for the app to scan. The scan results can’t be saved and the app scan again every time I open it. Why doesn’t Cambridge give us the option the manual scan, saving the scan results and reuse it instead of rescan every time the app is opened. With my library size it takes about 30 mins to finish the scan, and while it is doing it, I can’t use my phone or facing another long scan. Just think about the scanning time, I lose my mood of listening to my music. Saving scan and manually scan have been done in other app. We don’t add to the Nas everyday, so the scan only necessary when we do.

Much better than Stream Magic

This Cambridge connect is much better than Stream Magic. You can even see the titles scroll across which was not possible with Stream Magic which would constantly lock up or not respond. This seems very logical and it’s design, and while not pretty, very functional. Very happy I have a good remote on iOS 11. Was panicking for a while. It’s important because the remote control on the minks is probably the worst I’ve ever worked with, working only 50% of the time and I’ve tried everything. It only works when you’re 5 feet away directly pointing at the receiver. The receiver itself however is six stars. Really great.

They still occasionally release updates, but no real improvements have been made since the beginning, except support for Tidal if you happen to have one of their most recent devices. I guess the budget is limited and no one at CA uses the app themselves. Only push buttons for volume, no memory for browsing location in library, navigation designed to maximize the amount of button presses to carry out the most common operations, and ...
