Recommended Tablet for Naim APP and Tidal

The Naim app does a lot of other things than “select your music”. You really should only discuss things you actually understand.

Resistance is futile.

Going to finalise my experience on tablets now. I purchases what i consider a new, higher spec machine from Lenovo running Android and the naim app. Whilst I am an Apple fan boy, I wanted it to so work, it had one job. Run the Naim App to look into the Innuos data base of about 600 CDs.

My conclusion , never again. I know why apple charge so much for something that is quick responsive, intuitive and just works everytime. I have my phone and my tablet sat next to each other. The Android takes 3 goes to find the Mu-So from screen touch after it went quiet for a while.

Second the interface whilst different a little is less intuitive, how do you get back to home screen or back one step, ahh turns out you have to do a lot of scrolling options with side swipes. just a simple back arrow would suffice,

Rotation catches up after about 1 sec, Face ID takes about 10 secs if it works, or just jumps to pin code after a couple of tries,

So yes it works, yes it was cheaper than a newer iPAD, but would i do it again. NO.

Well, what I said all along :wink:
To be fair, though, the problem is not so much Android as the app quality.

I understand confusion about UI choices on Android, but this is mostly just a question of getting used to, like the back swipes.

However, as the question was the best tablet to use the Naim app, the answer is an iPad like I said. It’s by the way also reflected in this thread with complaints, to which the answers invariably are “never seen this on iOS”:

That couldn’t be further from my experience of the Naim app on Android. Both my Samsung phone and Google Pixel C tablet find my Naim streamer instantly every time. If you’re having to take 3 goes to find a streamer it might be that you need to set the battery options for the Naim app to prevent it from going to sleep.
As for the back button, Android always has a back button so I don’t know what you mean about scrolling and swipes. Most Androids with a software back button rather than a physical one might need a swipe up from the bottom of the screen to make the back,home and menu buttons visible but that’s all it should take.
As for rotation, face ID and the likes, every manufacturers’ implementation is different, perhaps Lenovo just haven’t done a good job there.

Look for ‘System navigation’ in settings. You have the option of the traditional 3-button navigation (hey, two more than Apple :wink: ), or Gesture navigation, which you seem to have enabled.

I thought it was a question during initial setup, but maybe they changed that.

Any word on what the OP finally got, if anything at all? :thinking:
