Latest iPadOS version 80.02.04 will often hang on launching and just spin with nothing displayed other than the section headings. App remains completely unresponsive, you can only close it and try again.  It will start properly once in approx every 3 or 4 attempts.

when it does start it is taking 29 to 35 seconds to display the opening screen and be ready to accept the next action. Every action is sluggish and stuttering. I am in the same room as the router and the speaker is connected via Ethernet so Wi-Fi latency / signal strength shouldn’t be an issue.

the different app versions no longer interact properly. I started playing music using the pc controller (since the iPad and android versions are so poor) then I went into the room and later tried to control the speaker with the iPad version but all it did was jumble my chosen track and play it over the top of the tracks that the pc version had previously started. That has never happened before, you could always control the system properly with any of the controllers.

My playlists are still missing and only appear on the Un-updated (thankfully) pc version

control of the alarms is hidden very well isn’t it?

what a mess.

as Larry David might say…. I’m disgruntled.
