Play-Fi

The app doesn't yet support lossless Spotify. When will the update be available?

The app shuts off the connection automatically after a while it stops playing. This problem is ongoing since a couple years allready.

Any chance favourites (scenes) and recents will be restored while I’m still alive?

Apple Music only shows error messages that the file type isn’t supported. Spotify doesn’t stream to the TV via the App. Useless!

Since a few versions ago Recent & Scenes no longer work (tested on iPhone and iPad), email sent but no response. Please fix this.

Both on my iPhone (latest iOS) and iPad, favourites and recents remain empty, even after playing online radio and marking my favourite stations with the

Although setting up a new speaker can be cumbersome due to seemingly failing firmware updates, if your persevere the Play-Fi system works rather nice. Streaming the music from my phone to one or multiple speakers is really easy. The limit for me was about 10 speakers at once.
Recent update however broke the selection all songs. When doing a search and selecting an artist. If one selects all songs only the songs of the first album from the artist’s list is selected.

App is onstabiel, geeft bij Spotify de muziek goed weer, maar bij de eerste de beste reclame stopt de hele show, alles uit en alles weer aan voor 10 minuten muziek……, app met nog heel veel werk.

Internetradio is not user friendly difficult to make a list of favourite radio stations. Interface not as user friendly as nowadays standards.
Would also be nice to use more platforms like soundcloud/mixcloud and such then only these standard ones.

There are some weird options missing…
-> Would it be possible to auto select if you only have one play-fi device?
-> search in Mediaplayer, i have most of my cd’s digital on my NAS, ir works but.. ther eis no search and with my hugh collection it is really hard to do so.
-> plex available in the app, i now use the mediaplayer for this but it is very basic…
-> when having a sound bar like the Fidelio b97, where you have attacheable surround speakers, you can not add 2 speakers as height back speakers for atmos wich is a miss. It is to basic and the app assuems a soundbar is 3.1 at the most in stead of 7.1.2 like the Fidelio is. This can easily implemented when making a cinema setup, just when tou choose the soundbar ask which setup it is, 2.1, 3.1, 5.1, 5.1.2 of 7.1.2 etc. And then when you add speaker ask what you want them to be used. If you call it home cinema let it be home cinema setup! And not assume i would like to use it as surround speakers…
-> Connection losses quit often between the app and teh speakers, no my wifi is top notch, more then enough AP’s here and more then enough bandwith.
However that it is possible to do 24bit 192kHz on supported speakers is really amazing! It is certainly amazing.

Not so much this app, but the current firmware for PW Amp has an issue with Spotify Connect.
I tap Pause in the Spotify app, works as expected. Then, when my mobile disconnects from the WiFi network (usually when I go to bed), PW Amp resumes the podcast I was listening to. This is obviously not desired.

The connection most of the time is unstable; It crashes far to often. But once connected to my Audiolab 6000A Play, I enjoy the great sound quality. Unfortunately you are forced to use the horrible app; The GUI lacks any logic which makes it absolutely user-unfriendly! Also the GUI of the iWatch app is sloppy; Volume is not clearly visible and therefore unusable. I would prefer to use Tidal from the Tidal app as, for example, Sonos does. Bandcamp and Soundcloud should also be available. Make the app also work on a Chromebook!

This app needs some serious upgrading. Its a joke of an app, if you don’t want to maintain it atleast put a 99c buy price to the app so that people can support the development and actually enjoy a GOOD streaming app. This is just ridiculous.

it's not a nice app. it is for general use and you will see that in the functionalities. Both Loewe klang MR 3 speakers connected via the stereo. this does not work go fine, sometimes the synchronization does not go well and the sound starts to 'sing'. what I find very annoying is that I have to reset the stereo link every morning. And I miss the sound settings.

In combination with AudioLab 6000N
Freezes, lost connections to streamer, pauses on a regular basis.
Even after continuously fetching new updates of the app and streamer firmware.
Tried wired and WiFi.
Other devices on the network are having no difficulties at all.

The Play-Fi app is one of the most unwieldy apps I have encountered, but is at this point in time the only way for me to stream Tidal to my Audiolab 6000N play streamer.
The app has a tendency to crash, just stopping the music at random multiple times per listening session. If I do anything on my phone that plays audio -like playing a video with sound-,the app will stop playing. Much worse though: it will lose track of the song you were playing, forcing you to navigate to the song and start all over again.
I strongly urge anyone who is thinking about buying a Play-Fi reliant device not to, and to only go for devices that allow for direct connect from Tidal.

Its fairly decent and has tons of potential, however connectivity is a issue sometimes. I recommend plugging your receiver or amp with a cable into the router instead of using wifi!
