AmpliWidgets

Never hunt between couch cushions for your remote or wait through slow receiver apps again. AmpliWidgets brings instant, 1-tap control for your Marantz and Denon AV receiver directly to your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center. Designed with Apple Human Interface Guidelines and luxury Hi-Fi aesthetics, AmpliWidgets communicates directly with your receiver over your local Wi-Fi for superfast, tactile control.
