Great App

This app is really cool.
When I select my device, it instantly crashes.
And when you reinstall, it does it again!
Very fun experience.

Amazing AVR, App is dead.

This app is so outdated, it doesn’t have the required iOS permissions to operate as a network app. I give it 3 starts because the AVR itself doesn’t need an app given how incredible it is but having the app would be nice. This is my first review ever lol. I have been having an iPhone since I was 14 I’m 23 now.

Crashing app

I purchased a used Arcam that did not have a remote. Planned to use this app instead. App downloaded fine on iOS. Opened fine and found receiver, but then crashed when the receiver was selected. Cannot get the app to stop crashing.

MusicLife is the official app

I m experiencing the same crashes that everyone has mentioned here. I reached out to support and got to know that this app is no longer supported.
Per, Arcam, MusicLife is official Harman app and will be able to recognize Arcam products. It worked in my case for Arcam AVR 21

Won’t Work for Me (iOS 16)

This simple app would be great, but despite a long exchange of e-mails with the support folks (which mostly had me retrace obvious steps I’d tried before contacting them), it ultimately came down to them advising me that they could make it work on iOS 16 with their setup, and suggesting I contact my dealer.

The specific problem is the inability of the app to discover my SA20 integrated amp. Interestingly, the app worked on an old iPad with iOS 9, but won’t work on either an iPhone or iPad running iOS 16. The version info for the app notes an update to deal with an issue discovering the unit in iOS 14.5. I wonder if history has repeated itself. Regardless, since the app continues to wrack up 1 star ratings I think it’s fair to conclude that Harman International has no intention of upgrading it. Sad, given the fact that their products are otherwise quite good.
