Focal & Naim

it's a huge improvement comparing with previous version however you need update your Naim software too in order to reveal all the function from this app. But there is a problem with adding songs to playlist and play in playlist mode any song from iTunes lib if these are stored in apple format - just this doesn't work

N-serve and n-stream seem to leapfrog each other. Version 3.0 works on my UnitiQute now (25 June 2012) but seems to lack some features, such as playlists. Perhaps they will arrive when I can upgrade to later software on the UnitiQute. The CD booklet is a good idea, but seems a bit patchy. Some CDs have no data. Lyrics would be a good idea too. Maybe I will continue using Shazam and Soundhound for that.

This app is essential and useful as it allows control of Naim uniti and let's you search your NAS drive or PC. It is slow however and quite unrefined with a program like plugplay giving far better access to my Linkstation. I hope to see the little update signal appearing and the app having plugplays speed and capabilities along with n-streams current traits.

The reliability of the Naim app has improved dramatically since it became a combined Focal & Naim app. Connection to devices has finally become rock solid. It still doesn’t always find them as easily and reliably as apps like Roon, AirPlay etc, but it is decent. The UI is generally good, although could use some improvements when navigating through streaming services, internet radio etc.

The app is clunky, loses the speakers and server - when it works the sound is fabulous. But oh dear, the app…

After struggles over the years they have made the app worthy of Naim. Thanks

Constantly asks to connect a new device but can’t find existing. Rubbish app

Constantly crashing when trying to search for a Firmware update. App was great before ? What’s happened ?

I’ve had a muso and muso 2 and both have the problem of being controlled by the app. I’ve reset them and reconnected them time and time again to get them visible to the app. I can see there connected on my network but the app fails to find them. It needs a big overhaul. The hardware is being let down by the software

I have used this improved app for 5 years. I used the beta app too when it was available. Personally I have not had any significant issues. OK, Multi room does have occasional temporary dropouts e.g. with Muso from Nova or vice versa but closing app and restarting it sorts problems out. It has got much better over the years.
