User Reviews

AK Connect 2.0 is valued for remote control and DLNA/UPnP compatibility, plus a usable interface. However, it suffers from recurring Tidal login problems, unstable connections, and a lack of timely updates. Stability issues like crashes and background resets, along with inconsistent volume control, significantly detract from the experience. Overall, it provides useful remote and streaming features but needs substantial maintenance and bug fixes to satisfy a broader user base.

Pros

Remote control of AK devices from an iPhone via Wi‑Fi or cellular hotspot (convenient for remote operation).
DLNA/UPnP streaming compatibility with network music servers and reliable background progress syncing.
Usable UI with straightforward playback/playlist controls.

Cons

Tidal login/streaming integration is broken or unavailable (unknown errors, login failures).
Unstable connections and difficult reconnection: long setup times, frequent drops, especially after interruptions or calls.
Outdated app with long gaps between updates and bug fixes (years without proper maintenance).
Crashes or freezes during playback/playlist operations or when the app runs in the background.
Volume control issues and intrusive volume warnings on some devices/OS versions.

The free app for my 2nd $3000 music player isn’t working. Thanks guys. This is my 5th AK player and the 2nd time I bought your top of the line model player. And you haven’t updated this app in three years. By not doing basic stuff like this, you’re making your own fans your enemy. The people willing to spend the money feel insulted and won’t spend the money next time. It’s really that simple.

I have an iphone 14 pro and it took the akconnect app 10mins to connect/find my SR25 using personal hotspot, i wish they could implement Bluetooth connection in the akconnnect app, and the akconnect app unpaired my SR25 because it took too long to sync all my music in the AK app i have over 13k songs and maybe the processing of the app couldn’t take it, I just want to play all songs from my SR25. when i select a song and play it, and after the song finishes, it doesn't shuffle next to another song it just stops. And when I try to play all songs it only selects the ones that has processed already, it only selected 630 songs to play. Im not sure whats the purpose of the long processing in the ak app does. I just wanna, Leave my SR25 connected to my speaker, when there’s a music that came up that I don’t like or it doesn’t suit the vibe i could just open the ak app, and just press next or select a music i like and still continues to shuffle all my 13k songs. My smart lightbulb app does way a better job, i go to bed, forget to turn off my lights across the room, open the lightbulb app, presses the off button and voila! The light turns off!. It does that in less than 10 seconds.
