Please fix

Tried restarting. Redownloading app wont open on a M1 mac. Works okay on ios though.

Tech support is helping and I hope they fix this but selling wireless speakers without analog inputs assumes the kef app is stable. What is the point of hi fi audio if audio skips and drops while listening to songs? Bluetooth is more stable than using the native app but that is not why I purchased this (and switching inputs makes the app lose track of the speakers). This app needs an overhaul. Searching for songs is not fun either. The gui needs work. Show more

After hearing others having issues with their LS50W not working properly with Orbi wireless mesh, I was concerned that the LS50 Wireless II would have issues as well. I’m happy to report no issues with the app, the system working with Orbi, or firmware update issues. I think they’ve made a few positive updates to the app so it is pretty smooth. Show more

It’s obvious KEF knows the speaker biz, but no idea on how to develop a user friendly and properly functioning app. I have the LS50 Wireless II with KEF a subwoofer and I keep on loosing my Bluetooth connection and the WiFi is flaky. I’m using the iPhone 13 pro. Please find an experienced professional software development company that can figure it out for you (UI and code) Show more

Just upgraded from the legacy LS50 to the wireless II and the need to download this version. And I am surprisingly amazed by the user interface of this app compared to the other KEF app.. unfortunately this only works with the Wireless II speakers and the previous owners of LS50 will still need to continue with the other two KEF control apps.

Would you PLEASE enable search for just within My Music? It takes so much longer to find anything - an album I’ve favorited for example - when the app brings back all search results for Qobuz or for Tidal. But at least Qobuz is available as a source - compared to the KEF app for the original LS50 Wireless. Enabling dark mode for the app would be a nice touch, too. Anyway, make searches more usable and I’ll actually use the app. Thank you. Show more

Will update review if support ever gets back to me. Crickets for weeks. Pretty unhappy, wish these speakers would work as intended.

The LS50wII have great sound, specially paired with a KC62. The app is usable, but the setup and config could be a lot better. Speakers work great for Tidal and AirPlay. HDMI is very unstable, will disconnect every 10 minutes, then have to reset. Also, if HDMI if control is enabled, speakers will turn on randomly. Show more

Can’t update from 1.2 to 1.5 firmware. Tried resetting the speaker multiple times, even left them unplugged for hours and tried it. It’s a shame this company who can build a great sounding speaker can’t hire a mobile app developer and a firmware engineer that can produce a stable update. Show more

Installation app did the job. It’s still missing full EQ functionality that’s listed in the online manual but you can get the job done. It’s odd that you are required to input a subwoofer low pass frequency even if you don’t have a subwoofer attached. System froze when i tried to do a required firmware update. I don’t know if problem was with the app or otherwise. Streaming portion of the app needs a lot of work to be user friendly. Streaming Amazon HD or Tidal within the app has minimal search functionality and very little metadata display. For example, there is no way to tell what resolution the file is playing. A saving grace is that Tidal Connect is available so you can avoid Kef connect for streaming. Tidal connect app also has its issues but it is miles ahead. An iPad version of the App would be nice. I hope the app will improve over time since the LS50 Wireless II sound quality is excellent. Show more

Biggest bug it I can not update the firmware on the speakers. It just gets stuck in update mode for hours. A regular hdmi port instead of eARC would have been great. Earc is a nightmare because of hdcp. I can get sound through about a second and then the hdmi light starts to flash. Tried to connect CD player over hdmi and couldn’t get it to work even when outputting in 2Ch pcm. EArc is only for useful for people that use their smart tv app to watch tv and not many people that buy these speakers watch tv like this. Show more

I’m sure it’s better than the old KEF app but it falls short when you’re used Bluesound

Frankly I expected a better app for price I paid for the speakers (ls50 wireless ii). It’s pretty sluggish navigating Amazon Music, and it would really be great if they made an iPad version. It also sometimes “loses” the speakers when changing music sources For now I’m streaming through the much more responsive Amazon app. Nice sounding speakers though! Show more

Overall good, but... Cannot report issues on the app, press Continue when press Support/Continue but nothing happens. So I guess I try and post the issue here: My KEF W2 will not play sounds from my Samsung TV NU7100 HDMI ARC, all settings are correct (input pcm, output pcm, hdmi arc connection, anynet+ enabled, TV source selected, output HDMI Receiver, try plugging on and off, restart tv, speakers, etc... ). These were the settings for my Bose soundbar earlier which plays nicely. Please fix this. Or maybe I have a bad speaker. Show more
