Question

New app defaults to one speaker

Since downloading the new app (not a fan like everyone else it seems), my system defaults to one speaker. The backyard speaker. It’s not a huge deal to turn that one off and switch it to the speaker I want but is there a fix somewhere in the app?

Same issue. 
1) I select speaker then content

  1. when I remove the “default” there is all sorts of lag updating so no idea where it playing. 
     

Please fix

Same issue here. Seemingly every time I try to search for new music and immediately tries to default to my basement speaker, which is really really annoying. There’s really no reason to default to a specific speaker. It used to be that whatever speaker was selected when you last left the app would be where you searched for music and where the music would play. 
 

They really need to fix this. It’s getting really annoying.

This isn’t a feature, this is a bug. It needs fixing, I shouldn’t have to rename my speakers and pre-fix with numbers to avoid scaring the kids. The old app defaulted to last played group which worked pretty well, and if I wanted to not do that I could choose which speaker I wanted to use, that’s good UX, defaulting to alphabetically first speaker is just poor programming!

Agreed, if this is design then they should be fired. Poor QA that let this get through and careless decision to release this ‘upgrade’. Makes me pause future purchases until this is fixed. Headphones are nice but not with this poor UX.

Agree, my purchases now on hold until I see the next significant upgrade, not just fixing the rubbish they let through this time.

 

we have all 1* reviewed the app and explained the issues with the latest version on the app stores where it’s publicly visible haven’t we?

Good idea. Leaving review now. Silly that I’m renaming speakers to not start music into basement - everytime I change a song!
