For those who have been justifiably complaining about Meridian "getting things wrong" regarding Sooloos over the past few months, the short story and long story of how Apple have basically screwed with their customers over the past week makes for some interesting reading.......and hopefully gives perspective to those who think that these kinds of issues are somehow unique to Meridian
In the situation outlined above, Apple has actually prevented access to Users' Files that they were collaborating on......imagine the reaction here if a Meridian 'bug' resulted in users losing access to their music files.....and essentially not being able to play them for 4 weeks??

Seriously? The company hasn�t even launched 10.10 Yosemite yet!......so how can we install it??
Ultimately this suggests that we can no longer collaborate on this spreadsheet, at least not until Yosemite launches [in 4 weeks time]
When we tried to close the Numbers app on our Mac we got a spinning beachball. Necessitating a Force Quit.
Main system - Sources (Kodi-HTPC, Vero 4k, FireTV, Sat) into Trinnov Altitude 32 (8-16) (+Roon), Trinnov Amplitude 8 amp & Vivid Audio (Giya G3, V1.5) and REL Stentor III speakers. Others: F80 + Raspberry Pi and other Pi systems.
If you have an issue with Apple, take it to the Apple boards.
Many of us have tens of thousands of dollars invested in our Sooloos systems and rightfully feel its incumbent on the supplier, M, to maintain their functionality.
but feel free to continue to be so vocal, I'm sure it'll help get it fixed sooner...
Main system; 861v8 ID41, DSP8000SEU fronts with DSP5500 centre and DSP7000 rears (all in lovely silver) 504, HD621 Second system 861v4 ID40 LPS, G98DH, 504, HD621, 2x DSP5200 with DSP5200 centre MD600 tucked away in study. Lots of other Meridian!
Having started this thread, I feel I should make it clear that I do not hold M responsible for the problem and I'm not particularly angry about it. It happens all the time. A fix will no doubt come.
A better iPhone app would be desirable, justifiable and welcome after this problem is fixed though.
