## Description

Linn is the intuitive companion app to control Linn Music Systems, whether you have a single streamer or multiple in your home. The app combines an artist view, comprehensive search, and a polished Now Playing experience in one clean interface.

Stream your favorite services—TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, Spotify Connect, TuneIn, CalmRadio—and enjoy cloud-stored playlists with My Mixes. Manage rooms, sources, and rooms, and link multiple Linn streamers to play in sync across your home. Regular over-the-air updates keep performance and features current, and Linn is compatible with all Linn Music Systems running Davaar firmware.

## Review summary

Linn's iOS app shows strong audio potential and a UI upgrade over Kazoo, plus useful integration and cross‑device compatibility. However, persistent connectivity and stability issues, missing playlist/mix features, clunky UX, and slow/buggy performance dominate reviews. The core asks are a reliable, well‑tested app that handles multiple renderers and provides solid music management. Until then, many users still reach for older solutions or question the app’s value on premium hardware.

### Pros

- When it connects, the app delivers excellent sound.
- UI is an improvement over Kazoo.
- Offers a broad feature set and supports third‑party integrations; open to non‑Linn devices.
- Can be stable for daily use on some setups.
- Works as a flexible control point for local music setups (e.g., Minimserver/BubbleUPnP).

### Cons

- Unreliable connectivity across networks and routers; issues persist for years.
- Frequent bugs and stability problems: freezes, crashes, logouts, and wrong renderer with multiple OpenHome devices.
- Missing core features like My Mixes and easy access to My Playlists; clunky favorites/queue management.
- UI/UX is clunky and not intuitive; users urge a redesign.
- Slow search and delayed responses (e.g., long wait times for search results).
