Two people used this for the same job and came away disagreeing, which turned out to be the useful part.
What separates a good product from a merely impressive one is what it does on an ordinary Tuesday, three months in, when you are tired and you just want the thing to work.
Filed under Audio & Video, which on this site means we care about the boring parts: whether it holds a connection, whether the app is still maintained a year from now, and whether anybody answers the phone when it breaks. The question is never whether a thing works in the shop. It is whether it still works in six months, on your network, alongside your other devices, without you having to think about it.
The full breakdown, including the parts that did not go well, is what the rest of this piece is for.
