Ascend Audio

I guess this is feedback to the developers, because if you have the speakers you’ll need the app. Generally the app is ok to configure the settings of the speakers, though it is more minimalist than intuitive. After using for weeks several times a day, I still haven’t figured out the gesture to turn the power off in one attempt - holding for some period on the leaves seems to be the intention, but more often than not it doesn’t work. I’d much rather have a published control protocol so I can integrate with another controller for daily use so I don’t need to use the app except for occasional configuration.

Have bought and been using the speakers for the last 4 months. Great sounding speakers! However, the App’s reliability is very poor. Before the upgrade to version 2.4, the App very often couldn’t find the speakers and restarting the iPhone or iPad would enable the App to find the speakers. After the upgrade to version 2.4, the issue became worse - the App can only find the speakers one time after each restart of the iPhone or iPad. It means that for a simple volume change during listening the iPhone or iPad needs to be turned off and restarted in order to find the speakers. Hope this issue can be resolved soon.

Does not work at all as it's apparently unable to discover devices that are hardwired directly do the router. You cannot even add IPs that you dug up through macOS terminal commands so you're left with zero functionality.
