Fast scroll (year, decade, artist...) missing

Answered
Harri
Android controller used to have a great fast scroll on the right side. For example when sorting albums by year, one could fast-scroll years instead of scrolling down all the albums, for many minutes. Why was good this feature taken off?

    UPDATE.

    Thank you all for your patience in this matter. Look for The BluOS Controller App 3.20.3 for Android in the coming days to address this issue.

    We do apologise for the undue delay.

    Thanks for your feedback, I will let our development team be aware of this request for future update consideration.

    Thanks for #LivingHiFi

    Yes may we please have this feature back. Scrolling upon scrolling endlessly WHY?

    Also need this feature restored. No fast scroll on Artist, Album etc really compromises accessibility.

    Please restore this feature. Why does it need consideration? It was a standard feature in several BluOS versions and it is clearly useful. It should not have been removed.

    Would also like it back!

    And a sort high-low and low-high for release-year.

    This feature used to exist, and I used literally every day.  It was removed in an app update a couple of months ago, with little or no notice.  It makes the Android app HORRIBLE to use for anyone with thousands albums.    I'm quite puzzled as to why anyone would think removing this feature was a good idea, or that it would please your users.   Please but it back, and not just "for future update consideration".

     

    I went from loving the Bluesound app to loathing it. At least the Windows app is still good.

    I feel the same. I brought this up a month ago and still nothing. I have found a better option and will be selling my Bluesound node.

    Can you please tell us why it takes so long to fix and if there are any plans to fix the bugs that all controllers have?

    For that matter, why was it removed in the first place?   
    It's not necessary to put back exactly what was removed, but we need a quick, easy and intuitive way to jump to the part of the list of Artists | Albums | Songs | Genres | Composers.    The old scroll tab provided that.

    And it's not a "future upgrade".  It's restoring critical functionality that was removed.

    The app is essentially useless without this feature. As noted above, the idea to remove such an essential feature is mind boggling.
    This needs to be put back immediately - not something that needs to be "considered."

    To add another voice: the fast scroll is an essential feature that must be restored immediately. It's extraordinarily frustrating to access a wide music library without this functionality.

    Please fix the bug. Just restore the function as it was. -For future updates, please follow a full function checklist that you go thru before launch.

    I'd go along with this. Please can we have the scroll bar back?

    @Max Dekker have you actually had the update then? I'm still waiting and can't see it in the play store

  • Max Dekker

    @Matthew, yes I could update to the latest version and the side scroll bar is back.

    Hey Matt,
    I've been checking religiously for updates but my app updated itself this evening to 3.20.3

    I'm in Canada if that means anything. It's likely rolling out to devices in waves.

    I'll keep checking then since it's not available for me in the UK. Good to know that it is out in the wild anyway.
    Thanks

    Hi Max. I can but it takes me to the UK version of Google play so no new version to download yet. Thanks for trying. I'm sure it will arrive at some time. I'll keep checking
