how to use Aurliac Altair G1 - no lightning DS App anymore


Does anyone have any recommendation on how to control an Altair G1 now that the Lightning DS app is gone?

I had issues with the app connecting to my streamer, so I thought I would delete and re-download it. Little did I know that the app is gone from the App Store (IOS)...so not sure what I can do...obviously controlling through the front panel is an option...but certainly not very useful or easy.

Thank you!

JPlay for IOS works fine with Auralic devices.  I'm using it right now with an Aries G2.2.

Also check your Apple Cloud storage as there should be a copy of LDS stored there. If you went to reload it in the past it would have downloaded it from your cloud.

While JPlay does work with my Auralic Aries G1 and I like the UI, gapless playback was not working. I enabled it on the app but for some reason with my G1 it still wouldn't work. So I went back to the Lightning app.

Just saw that if you choose to have Apple delete little used apps, it can’t restore them if they’re no longer in the App Store.  That’s happened to the Lightning DS that was on my iPad.  Can’t restore it now.  I tried using Lumin (which had worked years ago) to control my Aries Femto.  While Lumin recognizes the Aries and the library, once you start playing the controls play controls didn’t work on my iPad.  Only way I found to stop the music was to delete the queue.

On the other hand, gapless playing works.

I’ll see if I backed up my iPad and see if I can restore Lightning.

I use Room typically so not a major problem.
