The app usually finds the Brennan within a second or two then disappears. This saves you having to type in the IP address of the Brennan B2 or BB1 and gives you one touch access to your Brennan from your phone or tablet. This can be even more useful if you have a wireless router that often changes the IP address assigned to the Brennan.

Ratings and Reviews
“Any iPhone?”
Allegedly, any iPhone on the same network can connect to my B2.
Mine does and works reasonably well. My wife’s won’t.
When attempting to connect between Brennan and the second iPhone, the app claims that BrennanVB doesn’t exist. It then tells me that there’s no Brennan on the network. Doors to manual and enter the B2 address manually - same result.
1) switch off my iPhone completely - same result.
2) reboot Brennan and the second iPhone - same result.
3) restart the network, reboot Brennan and iPhone - same result (my phone has been switched off for all the above)
Both out laptops can connect at the same time by using the old and new web interfaces without problem.
But the app is intransigent.
Works well.
This app works well provided you have a good network connection to both your tablette/phone device and your Brennan device. If you have problems with getting it to work, the first thing to look is your network. I have had no problems with this app since installing a mesh wifi system which gives good connectivity (no deadspots) throughout the house. The functionality is very good compared to the Sonos offering.
Not reliable or stable
I am really getting fed up with the app and the lack of stability. It often does not find my B3 so I cannot make changes to a ripped CD that cannot be found on the data base. This has happened several times and I am now losing faith in the whole “Brennan set up”. I am fed up with following the set up options as they do not work even after deleting and re-installing the App. Having tried both manual and automatic searching this is still an issue. I have full fibre broadband hoping that this would help but alas more wasted time and frustration.
