KEF Stream

As we all know, the Control and Stream apps, up until about four months ago, were utterly worthless. Those of us wanting to stream Tidal had no other option (of which I am aware) than to pay for Roon. Finally, they got around to fixing the connectivity issues. But… the highest Tidal quality available using the Stream app remains HiFi. We need a Tidal Master option!

Title says it all, it’s literally the worst app I’ve ever used. I’m not even going to do a rundown of all the issue because obviously nobody from KEF cares, but the biggest issue is that 99% of the tracks on my phone are greyed out and cannot be played in the app. These are tracks physically stored on my device not in some cloud streaming service somewhere.

I am in the same camp as most here. Love the speakers, the software is outrageously bad. Even worse is KEF’s complete lack of interest in their product and customer satisfaction. At AXPONA (before KEF had their temper tantrum) people were lined up outside the door for these with credit cards ready. Your just going to ignore these people?! KEF are you going to do anything to make your product useable? This thing is awful!

Delete app.

App constantly not working

I am convinced KEF does not test and use their own software. Otherwise they would know that their upnp does not work. Streaming device cannot stream from UPnP. Keep up good work or better hire Naim software team.

It was working ok up to this update or my iphone 12 Pro Max on iOS.

Can’t remember a year when streaming apps were so hard to use and sooooo slooooow.

Clear and simple... the app do not work and make the speakers very disappointing!

Ls50w speakers are pretty good but streaming music to them is a nightmare. The app seldom connects. I typically have to reinstall the app and reconfigure the setup EVERY TIME I USE THE SPEAKERS. so sad
