14 Positive User Reviews for BluOS Controller

Great job with iOS app 4.12.0

I read a lot of negative comments regarding this update. Admittedly I was pretty nervous but took the plunge and I just updated and happily everything works perfectly including Qobuz Connect which was a feature I really wanted as BluOS didn’t offer the same options that the Qobuz app did. Good job Bluesound!

New Program works great, Jim

I had BlueOs for 5-6 years and the newest program is the best. The programs from 5-6 years ago weren’t very good. The rest of BlueOs equipment is great it fit my needs perfectly I have sound playing in 4 areas of my house.

Appears not to work at all with iOS 17.3.1

Will we see an update soon? I cannot use this app anymore.

Worthy the investment

Bluesound runs seamlessly, the app runs very well, worth the investment

Most beautiful APP I’ve seen

So much easier than the Sonos app.

I had a few pieces of Sonos and never clicked with that app. I had an opportunity to take home two Bluesound speakers and tried this app. I find this easier for me to navigate and find what I want.

Works my whole house

I have multiple Bluesound and NAD products throughout my house and the BluOS makes the really easy to control, pick my music, and I LOVE THE SOUND!

Great streamer

I was in a high end audio shop and noticed the BluOS streamer in systems costing tens of thousands of dollars. Decided to pull the trigger and have been impressed with the clarity. My only complaint is there is no support for Apple Music. I would not hesitate to recommend BluOS to anyone wanting a great streamer that is affordable and easy to use.

Inferior app to WiiM

I wanted to compare the WiiM to Bluesound. I sprung for the Node ICON which is their flagship device. The hardware is fine, the app is terrible. Only supports FAT32, but many users will have a Mac. Mac formats by default in exFAT with a GUID partition instead of MBR. Why wouldn’t Bluesound account for this in 2025? Linux and Mac support should be equivalent or better than Windows. I can’t find the place to even enable Dirac if I wanted to within the iOS app. They say all you need is iOS but I’m

Simple interface but glitchy

The interface is simple and intuitive to use. There are frequent glitches however, typically after Bluesound pushes updates. I often have trouble detecting inputs or players, and need to perform a reset.

Doesnt work since update

Ever since the most recent update it doesn’t work anymore. I have an iPad I can still control my player from, but from my phone it doesn’t connect to the Node anymore. Frustrating. Update a few months later: every time the app has an update it fails to work for a day or two. If it wasn’t for a second device I could not control my player. And again. An update and nothing works. It’s annoying!

Response is painfully slow.

The BlueSound Node app is painfully slow at responding to fundamental commands such as skipping to the next song. My $99 WiiM streamer’s application outperforms the BlueSound node in every way. My Node is located closely to my WiFi router. Embarrassing that BlueSound cannot get this right when their competitors are not having these kinds of problems.

Very frequent glitches as a controller

I am now five months into fairly heavy using this application for This controlling my blue note, screaming preamble Six mon

Frozen image and no continue steps

Sorry but the app is not working.
