Works for me
I run this on my iPad mini (6th gen) and my iPhone XS for listening to Qobuz via my Auralic Vega G1 and it is great to use. I wish Qobuz would provide the ability for album sorting (hence lose a star), but especially on the iPad it’s a great interface. I think it has suddenly closed once on me but never twice in a week or anything.
Not fit for purpose
Similar to other reviewers I found this app to be not fit for purpose. Fortunately I did not purchase the hardware but received it for trial purposes. The app continuously crashed which meant setting up from start a slow and laborious process and very annoying. I would earnestly implore potential Auralic customers to seriously rethink their choice of hardware before purchasing this dud of an app. Also I can’t for the life of me understand why a product costing many thousands of dollars comes with a user manual with a one dollar translation into English. At least employ a native English speaker to proof read.
Disappointed
This has the potential to be a great interface however the app continually crashes. After spending a considerable amount of money on Auralic’s hardware I’d expect the accompanying (and required) app to function reliably. Auralic - Please fix.
Frustrating
I have to re-configure this app virtually every time I use it. It continually loses connection with both my Aries Mini, and my Diskstation. The app can’t find them on the network, even though they are clearly visible through a web browser, or the router interface. Very frustrating.
Absolutely terrible buggy app
Absolutely terrible. Has a tremendous number of bugs, crashes all the time, and has rendered my auralic Aries mini near useless.
And this sentiment extends to nearly every software version release. This latest one is particularly bad.
