GOFIGURE APP FROM CHORD ELECTRONICS

10th April 2018

Chord Electronics has launched Gofigure, the official configuration App for the Poly network music streamer

Gofigure provides network set-up and simple settings management. It will initially be available for iOS devices with Android to follow and is designed to complement existing third-party control point Apps, such as Glider and 8 Player, commonly used to control music playback through Poly and Mojo.

Gofigure also features a set-up wizard to configure both new and existing Polys to available Wi-Fi networks, enabling the device for music playback. The wizard also facilitates direct Bluetooth set-up and playback and step-by-step configuration using Hotspot Mode. Gofigure’s wizard entirely negates the need for the configuration pin.

It also supports QuickPlay, enabling playback of MPD-generated playlists on Micro SD cards via Poly’s built-in card-reader. Any number of playlists can be created, including the entire card, with all lists visible within the App. Although QuickPlay is not intended to replacethird-party control point Apps, you can access pre-configured playlists.
