Leave a Review Denon Remote App
It’s good when it works
Here are the issues.
1) The connection between the receiver and the app on deeper applications very occasionally goes to sleep. (Pandora/Spotify for example) Switching between screens on the app can wake up the connection, but if you are still seeing issues, unplug the receiver and boot it back up. A pain? Of course. But I suspect the receiver software is more to blame than this app.
2) Denon’s software on the receivers is flakey. When the app is completely unresponsive, crashing, etc., it can usually be fixed by unplugging the receiver, giving it a minute to think about its’ naughtiness and plugging it back in.
Just how quirky is the Denon OS? I had to reset the unit and setup my surround system all over again after accidentally signing out of an audio streaming service.
3) The app UX could improve, but now that I’ve learned it, things are better. I only just learned I can customize the buttons on the app. So yes, for the uninitiated, it’s not immediately user friendly to use. (Hey Denon! You could change this.)
After understanding the OS issues on the receiver, my relationship with my app and receiver has been elevated to an understanding of its quirks, and a we now have a mostly productive relationship.Show lessj.p.wiese
Internet Music mode: What happened to my Favorites?
It is a more adequate player app for my 2300W. Other apps offer more system tweaking. If it had more control over the receiver I might give it 5 stars. But one function I really like the internet station “Favorites” addition option the app adds to the Internet Music mode of my Denson.
As of late 2020 my Favorites seem to dance in an ever changing order. Selection is unpredictable if the app accepts a selection. Is anyone else having this phenomenon?
Really don’t want to uninstall / reinstall the app because I will have to redo those unique stations.Show lesssourcemgr
Auro3D?
I updated my 7200WA so I can use auro3D on my 5.1.4 system. Sadly the app does not propose auro3D in options. Please make app more stable and with all options from receiver.
Also it seems my phone push files from dlna to receiver one at a time. So if phone goes to sleep music is off. Would be nice to send information from phone to receiver so received pull files from dlna as when I use the remote.Show lessPierre de coubertin

Just awful
Hoping to save another sorry soul from the torture I went through with this app. I was all happy to hook up this “new to me” receiver. Coming from a Yamaha RXV775, which was perfect, but didn’t have atmos. This was supposed to be an upgrade, but the experience was ruined because I downloaded the “Denon remote app”. PLEASE NOTE: Do NOT use that app! It is antiquated, and lacking ESSENTIAL controls. At first I had accepted that maybe they just missed the mark. But turns out there are multiple apps that work with this receiver. Well that is terribly confusing. So now after deleting this app, and downloading the 2016 AVR remote app, this receiver got a 2nd chance at life.Show lessbhw33191
Terrible support
When this app works, it’s not bad. They seem to have a hard time keeping up with Apple updates though. It takes weeks even up to a month before they finally update the app allowing it to work with iOS. No other app has consistently disappointed me like this one.DNCT81
Crashes as soon as I open it
It worked in the past, but now I open it and the app crashes immediately.
DeRemote works flawlessly, which is interesting as it is a 3rd party app.
Very disappointed with denon. Great sound, terrible support. I’ll likely look for something else in the future, a vendor that you may trust not just for the first year.Show lessIn2survive

Still broken after ios13. Can we get a fix denon?mattmattfromcanada
Very few audio adjustments
Terrible app... self described by denon as giving unprecedented level of control... but why does the app allow you to change slideshow interval but not basic sound settings such as bass or treble? Terrible app, denon forgot they are in the audio business.Jedmeister1235
