Razlaw:Looked at it a little closer.....says it allows B and O to read data from products and change settings on them.
Go for it...what could go wrong?

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
They don't need the app for that :-)
B&O uploaded beta-firmware onto my BV14 to check some issues...

Well, that’s good then. Given the way the world is going these days I was afraid it wasn’t your choice! I know I could sign up and download beta s/w for my Auralic but the current version does all I want and does it perfectly. A friend signed up for beta and got Spotify Connect before I did, it showed up on mine in a recent firmware update.

While I trust B&O support persons and process would be helpful and honest, a practice giving control of your computer to an outsider is a very very bad idea. I wonder if you have to agree to make B&O harmless if something goes wrong? For me an advisor or chat screen is a safer idea.
The feature is not giving B and O control of your computer. It allows B and O access to the products associated with one's BeoCloud account. The support feature in the app specifically describes the limits of this access to the products.
