App Profile: Eversolo Control

After an endless amount of updates, it appears that network connectivity issues still remain. I’m running an enterprise grade network but the app inexplicably does not want to connect to the device. Both the mobile device and streamer are forced to use the same access point on the network. The streamer has a static IP set in the router via DHCP reservation. I recommend that the devs add static IP settings in the streamer menu directly and make the streamer WLAN radio stay awake when the unit is powered off. That will solve a TON of problems.

This is not the app but album covers are not 100 percent displayed because we have to daily clean the streamer’s cache. About 3 or 4 album covers will not display (out of about 1200) unless we clean cache of the Eversolo storage. This repeats itself randomly. Annoying.

The streamer itself works well, but the iPhone connection to the streamer on the same WLAN is highly volatile and unstable. Once the connection is dropped, only a full reboot of both the DMP-A6 and my iPhone will re-enable a connection. I should be able to control the streamer from anywhere in the house via WiFi, but alas this is not working. Finally, the English text strings in the app are full of errors, and the Deezer app is lacking some core features like marking songs as favorites, or the ‘Mixes inspired by…’ feature.
