Lumin D2

Hello looking for a little input from current Lumin streamer owners. I was able to demo this streamer from my local dealer, and have been using it for well over a week now. The sound quality far surpasses my current setup of a Bluesound node with a Hegel HD12 DAC utilizing optical connection. But that's were the honeymoon ends! I downloaded the Android app to my phone and found app to be not very user friendly I cannot pause tracks, add entire playlists or albums, and cannot pull a song from Tidal to add to a playlist. I need to go to my Tidal app do add a track then go through the Lumin app to be able to play the track.

I guess what I am trying to find out if I used a iPad will I then be able to do all the functions l am currently used to using my phone and the Bluesound app. I sent a request to Lumin support three days ago and have yet to hear back from them. I don't currently own a iPad and I would get one if I knew it would make it operate similar to the Bluesound app. 
Thanks
Mark

The Lumin app is supposed to work much better with the ipad.  I have an Android tablet and I can't get the Lumin app to do anything.  I use the Linn Kazoo app (free) and it works very well with the Lumin.

I don’t think Linn is supporting Lumin. The Linn Kazoo is their basic app and it happens to work with Lumin players. If you don’t want to try it, that’s OK with me.

Hmm... That’s odd. If you click on the

icon next to the Lumin D2 on your tablet’s screen do you get a drop down list that includes a Tidal icon?

You can try the Bubble UPnP app. I think you get it free for 30 days then it stops working and you have to pay $4.69 for a permanent version. I tried it and it worked well for me.  It says in its description that it will access Tidal and Qobuz.
