### 4/5 — AVR X520BT

*2026-06-04*

Tut was sie soll ! Kleiner Wermutstropfen, zum Benutzen , zuerst Gerät mit iPad oder iPhone koppeln und dann App starten.

### 1/5 — A Nightmare

*2026-05-08*

After installing the app opened up set everything up worked fine to play my TV. The first time I tried to play music through the system from my phone. I was told to convert my music to DMA or DMV…. something of that nature. I cannot get out of that screen, no matter how many times I’ve deleted the app and reinstall the app. It keeps telling me to convert my music. I don’t want to convert my music. I need to listen to my music. I need to control the TV but yet it’s stuff stupid. Garbage complete garbage

### 1/5 — Connection dropped

*2026-04-17, version 1.7.0*

Can’t control music from the App and disconnected in 3 sec

### 1/5 — Almost useless

*2026-02-28*

I have a Denon S540BT and couldn’t find the remote. No problem I think to myself. I’ll just download the Denon 500 series remote app and problem solved. Problem NOT solved! Since reworking my surround system after a remodel, I need to run setup and set my system to the new room. There is literally no way to do this from this app (or the front panel of the receiver). This app only works through Bluetooth- and good luck with that! IF you manage to connect (a feat in itself) you get only basic functions. Power on/off. Volume up/down. Source select… that’s about it. No way to navigate menus, select items, adjust distances, manually eq your system, select listening modes…etc. For a decent amp, this app highly disappoints.

### 1/5 — Unreliable Pairing of Bluetooth

*2025-12-14, version 1.7.0*

I paired my iPhone to the receiver.  Worked ok.  Second time struggled with it.  Third time it refused to pair and the app went into a loop.  Not worth the frustration.  I now use AirPlay and it works great.  Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Terrible cannot connect

*2025-09-26*

Cannot connext to new iphone keeps saying it does not work. I do not know why I’ve tried pairing it multiple times. I think it needs an update. It just flat out refuses to pair. I can't seem to add screenshots of any other pictures.

### 1/5 — What good is an app that won’t connect?

*2025-02-01, version 1.7.0*

Read the title again. How can I review an app I can’t even access/use?!

### 3/5 — Please make app even better

*2024-09-05*

I feel this app is to basic for a great company. I can do more with the remote it comes with so why bother with this? I would like to have a layout of all my adjustments for my sound that I can control so I’m not flipping on each little thing with the remote so I can control my levels, distance, bass, treb, vol, hertz, crossovers, and so forth for a iPad or tablet app. Then the app would be worth the download. Thanks in concern

### 1/5 — 何の役にも立たない

*2024-08-27*

ダメアプリです

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-07-13, version 1.7.0*

This app does nothing but let you change the source of the audio and the volume. How about letting us get into actual setup of the speaker system? No? Ok.
