On my new Android Smartphone the BluOS widget does not seem to be available. Is it supposed to work on Android 10?

  Notifications for BluOS are enabled, anyway I do not see the context. How are notifications an home screen widgets connected?

  The question is: should there be a widget availabe on Android 10 or does the app need be adapted for this? On Android 7 there was one:

  There was... Android 8 disallowed many of those actions.

  Android 8 was released almost 3 years ago (Aug. 2017). Nobody managed to update the code in the meantime?

  Other music players still offer widgets. Why doesn't BluOS?

  Haha! Ok, so I got my Bluesound system up and running right now (*right* now),  and literally the first thing I try to do is add a widget to my Android phone.

  When moving to Bluesound I'm retiring my trusty old Logitech Squeezebox setup (Google it) that I bought in like 2007 or so. They support widget's.

  This is hilarious, and not in a good way.

  Could you please make it so I can control my €4000 Bluesound with widgets? Pretty please...

  Otherwise, smooth installation process, cudos for that!

  I revoke my comment! Dragging down the notification menu and using that is more convenient and clears up space in my screen for other stuff! 👍
