I haven't experienced any significant problems with the Meridian app on iOS7 (touch wood). Hopefully an updated app will be along soon in any event though. I've waited some time to enter the world of Meridian Streaming, having held back until I felt enough confidence in the system and it's control. To be frank, I've also waited until I'd got enough confidence back in Meridian as a company. Some dealers and individuals have assured me that they're back on right path, so I hope they repay my confidence.

My view is that irrespective of sound quality, the control app and stability of operation is critical in this arena. I know that many retailers share that view too, so it's certainly not something that developers should ignore. Whilst many Receivers, Processors and Players advertise network and streaming capability these days, the user experience can be pretty woeful in terms of control and 'useability' (sic).

It's taken Naim a long time to get their app to where it is, so I don't think it's as easy a ride as some people think. They're having to issue a further update, hopefully this week, because things aren't behaving as they did with the Beta version of iOS7 for some users (not all, which would also seem to be the case for Core Control).
