An app that contains the remote control function of Anthem MRX 710, MRX 510, and MRX 310 audio video receivers. Similar in functionality to that of the factory remote control, the MRX app functions through the local network which allows operation of the remote control from a different room. Commands relating to one another are grouped on separate pages. To change page, swipe the screen sideways. Important notes: 1. Software v1.2.1 or later must be installed in the MRX receiver. 2. Ethernet connection to the rear panel of the MRX receiver is required, and the control device must be on the same local network. 3. The first time that the app is used, the MRX must be powered on beforehand so the app can apply necessary settings. 4. The app can control one MRX per network. 5. MRX can be controlled by one device at a time – if two or more are running the app at the same time, MRX responds to the one with the more recent connection. 6. This app is not recommended if a custom IP or RS-232 control system is or will be controlling the MRX - it is normally best to use one type of network control to prevent conflicts. ## Key features - Remote control functionality - Local network operation - Page-based command organization - Swipe navigation ## Recent user reviews (10 of 20) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/anthem-mrx-remote/id906703317/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work period. *2024-02-24* Says the app needs to be updated to work with my iPhone IOS. This has been happening for months. ### 1/5 — Won’t finish downloading *2021-05-10, version 1.0* This app is so bad it won’t even download. ### 5/5 — It works again *2020-08-01, version 1.0* This APP STOPPED WORKING when IOS 13 came out. I accidentally downloaded it as I accidentally deleted the newer replacement APP and low and behold this old APP works once again. I’m so glad as this APP has a balance control and the new APP ( although it has some nice features) never had a balance control. Put the two apps together and you have almost a five star rating. Thank you for activating this APP once again. ### 1/5 — Crashes with iOS13 *2019-12-25, version 1.0* Worked great until my iPhone upgraded to iOS13. Now it crashes at launch every time. Please fix! I use this app all the time (I would give it a 5 star otherwise.) UPDATE This app no longer works. But download the other app, “Anthem Remote” not the one that called, “Anthem MRX Remote.” So far working fine and does not crash. ### 1/5 — Just crashes *2019-10-14, version 1.0* Unusable ### 1/5 — Crashed Upon Open *2019-09-28, version 1.0* Worthless app. Crashes as soon as you open the app. Disgusting we spend so much money for Anthem equipment and can’t even use it. The normal remote control’s rubber coating is melting off mine. Great work Anthem... ### 1/5 — iOS13 Compatibility *2019-09-27, version 1.0* App not working after upgrading to iOS13 ### 1/5 — Broken with iOS 13 *2019-09-25, version 1.0* Used the app daily for over three years so having it broken currently is quite the adjustment. ### 1/5 — Won’t launch on iOS 13 *2019-09-24, version 1.0* I have used this app every day for several years with no issues. But today I upgraded to iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1. Now the app crashes on launch. Apparently Anthem isn’t interested in their customers’ experience with their products. Disappointing. ### 3/5 — Great 1st Generation App! - NEEDS UPDATE *2018-06-15, version 1.0* UPDATE: June 2018 There haven’t been any updates to this app for two years since I wrote the review below. It sure would be nice after I forked our so much $$$$ for this receiver if the company would support this app. It works, but it doesn’t fit an IPhone X screen for example. An app that hasn't been updated for two years is basically unsupported. I’m rating it down a few stars for that. Original Review>>>>>>>> Other reviewers need to read the manual. This app works perfectly. If you want to be able to power on your MRX receiver over your network, first you need to go into the receiver settings, disable "Eco Mode" and enable IP Control from Standby. If you do that, the receiver consumes barely higher energy in standby, and keeps the network port on and listening for commands from the app. Read the instructions and it works perfectly. I like the simplicity of this app and the way it adjusts it's menus to match the various inputs you have created on the MRX. So far every feature I have used worked exactly as one would expect it to. This is a great 1st Generation app. ## Frequently asked questions about Anthem MRX Remote ### What Anthem MRX models does Anthem MRX Remote support?
