Next update is ready on the watch (no favorites, yet, but its a watchOS
3/4 app that runs on the watch and uses the crown).
Right now the update is delayed because we also need to make some
changes due to GDPR, we want to do this right.

Any news on iPing for the AW? Last post was in January 2016, there
should be some development, for example the Favorites-screen or setting

Well, may be just me but _I_ do sometimes change the volume using the

tune down (or up...).
My biggest problem with thins right now is not that it's slow but it

iPeng for AppleTV will come, initially as a player only.
But that's another platform I'm not totally convinced of. The remote is
a real mess and the whole thing is too complicated to navigate.
Actually similar problems to the Watch. Apple forgot to care about UI
and usability.
And that means some
Well then. You "have the app" already, so you just have to wait for
Apple to make a more capable device. Then app developers will make it a
compelling device (maybe.)
Personally I find these wristwatch reboots totally out of place. But at

A little update because I'm getting questions on a watchOS 2 version of
the iPeng Watch App.
I have experimented with this quite a bit and I'm still a bit undecided
about what to do.
The decision to switch to a native watchOS 2 App or not is unfortunately
not as straightforward as it looks at fir

You were correct (of course!) it was very straightforward. Thank you -

Just install it using the Watch companion App and also make sure to

Is there any trick to it, or will all my settings etc just show up in

Yea, I'll have to see. The problem with the complications is that you
can't update them on demand so if it e.g. Shows the current track and
you skip it would get out of sync.

As you've been asking for suggestions...
I've always regretted the playlist wouldn't keep history of played
songs.
Now we have the brilliant "what was that tune?" which serves this
purpose. I don't use it much but why I need it, it's here. And I esp.
like the fact it also works with radios.
