KEF Connect

Great update. Would’ve been great to know interspeaker wireless connection strength/stability rather than router to speaker bandwidth availability. We have absolutely no clue of the former given wireless interference and speaker distance, but the latter could have been easily estimated via Speedtest on any end device.

This is the only audio app that I use that does NOT show the player on the Lock Screen, so one canNOT learn the song title, one canNOT learn the who the artist is… If one wants to know that info: a) unlock device, b) find KEF connect app, and c) tap it and view. Also, in mid-March 2024, I reported, within the app, sudden constant loss of WiFi with all the detailed troubleshooting steps I performed over several days. A rep responded with some questions that I answered. Then the rep instructed me to do all that I had already done (original report). All had been fine for over a year, before the mid-2024 problems…As other users report, the problem is KEF auto-updates firmware INSTEAD of allowing the user/owner to choose when to implement firmware updating. The speakers are great, but the app and KEF ought to be better.

Ever since I updated the app and firmware my speaker now turns off in the middle of playing the song. ☹️ I can barely my speaker now.

Eq settings are quite limited. There needs to be more than two bands, and the controls need to go further up and down.

Zero stars! Clearly KEF does not have qualified app builders. Still not able to login. LSX II are being returned.

App works OK. Often says my speakers are disconnected when they are not. Please add the ability for the app to show on the Lock Screen so the track can be changed and paused without having to go back to the app.

iOS 17.1.1 on iPhone pro max. Crashes upon opening. Can’t update firmware or see any settings. Please fix the app. Would love to update my review but this is atrocious. Bought LS50 Wireless II’s and KC62 subwoofer that seem almost unusable currently.

The only way to reliably use my speakers is with airplay. This app either won’t find the speakers or when I try to play something, it just takes me back to the previous screen.

Just downloaded the app on my iPhone and IPA pro and it crashes immediately on both. Both devices are up to date with the lates software. Dumb

I have pretty solid wireless at my house, and this app has been pretty flawless in managing my LS50 II wireless speakers for quite some time now. I have been pleasantly surprised with how solid it has been compared to how buggy the original LS50 wireless app (I have a pair of those too ;)). I just tried upgrading my speakers to the latest firmware because I hadn’t used them in a while and it was painless. I have easily been able to configure my speakers whenever I have needed to and regularly play from multiple sources without issues. The only drawback is more of a Tidal issue in that Tidal does not let you use the physical volume controls when using Tidal Connect. As such, you have to open the app each time you want to make a change. Tidal still hasn’t fixed this after a few years. I think I used wired connectivity for the first few firmware revisions but since then wireless has been problem free. 😌
