PCA DMD,
Great app just bugs
Biggest bug it I can not update the firmware on the speakers. It just gets stuck in update mode for hours.
A regular hdmi port instead of eARC would have been great. Earc is a nightmare because of hdcp. I can get sound through about a second and then the hdmi light starts to flash. Tried to connect CD player over hdmi and couldn’t get it to work even when outputting in 2Ch pcm. EArc is only for useful for people that use their smart tv app to watch tv and not many people that buy these speakers watch tv like this.

nghiass,
Good app, good speakers, BUT...
Overall good, but...
Cannot report issues on the app, press Continue when press Support/Continue but nothing happens. So I guess I try and post the issue here:
My KEF W2 will not play sounds from my Samsung TV NU7100 HDMI ARC, all settings are correct (input pcm, output pcm, hdmi arc connection, anynet+ enabled, TV source selected, output HDMI Receiver, try plugging on and off, restart tv, speakers, etc... ). These were the settings for my Bose soundbar earlier which plays nicely.
Please fix this. Or maybe I have a bad speaker.

Works well with LS50WII
After hearing others having issues with their LS50W not working properly with Orbi wireless mesh, I was concerned that the LS50 Wireless II would have issues as well. I’m happy to report no issues with the app, the system working with Orbi, or firmware update issues. I think they’ve made a few positive updates to the app so it is pretty smooth.
Rx_135,
Much much better from the legacy KEF app
Just upgraded from the legacy LS50 to the wireless II and the need to download this version. And I am surprisingly amazed by the user interface of this app compared to the other KEF app.. unfortunately this only works with the Wireless II speakers and the previous owners of LS50 will still need to continue with the other two KEF control apps.
no-namenj23,
App drops audio a lot
Tech support is helping and I hope they fix this but selling wireless speakers without analog inputs assumes the kef app is stable. What is the point of hi fi audio if audio skips and drops while listening to songs? Bluetooth is more stable than using the native app but that is not why I purchased this (and switching inputs makes the app lose track of the speakers). This app needs an overhaul. Searching for songs is not fun either. The gui needs work.

Terrible App
This app has such a difficult time trying to connect the speakers, it’s essentially an incredibly expensive brick until it succeeds.
Itchboo,
Can’t connect to speakers after iOS 16.2 update
Please fix
TechGuy1970,
Can’t Update firmware
Can’t update from 1.2 to 1.5 firmware. Tried resetting the speaker multiple times, even left them unplugged for hours and tried it. It’s a shame this company who can build a great sounding speaker can’t hire a mobile app developer and a firmware engineer that can produce a stable update.
pablo1b,
Poor HDMI stability
The LS50wII have great sound, specially paired with a KC62.
The app is usable, but the setup and config could be a lot better.
Speakers work great for Tidal and AirPlay. HDMI is very unstable, will disconnect every 10 minutes, then have to reset. Also, if HDMI if control is enabled, speakers will turn on randomly.

Isaac2c,
Update broke the app
The most recent app update has broken all volume control through tidal connect. It won’t respond to controls at all.
