### 5/5 — Great sound

*2026-08-07, version 2.0.3*

You can’t lose one ear bud  cause they are connected. Brilliant

### 5/5 — Denon is my 1st choice

*2026-05-05, version 2.0.3*

I absolutely love the Denon audio app. It organizes all of my music on my phone by artist or album, and I can make playlists that it also organizes also in another category. You can't beat the equalizer that they have which helps you to optimize the sound for your speaker system or headphones that you're using. Download this app and you'll be very happy you did. I also have a denon surround sound receiver that drives my video system. Whenever I watch movies or play music through my speakers. Denon is a best in class company that produces quality products for me, you and anyone else who has the foresight to invest in their equipment.

### 1/5 — No Apple Music

*2026-03-29, version 2.0.3*

It says it in the fine print, but just be aware that this app will not play any of your Apple Music tracks.  Makes sense, but I purchased this for the EQ and paid the $1.99 before realizing that.  It is only $2, so not that big of a deal.  But only get this app if you have your own music on your phone... not streaming from Apple Music.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t stay on!

*2025-11-19, version 2.0.3*

Drops

### 1/5 — Only works well with older phones

*2025-09-11, version 2.0.3*

If you look at the good reviews, they're all from 11 plus years ago. I recently installed the app on an old 12 Pro Max and all my songs came back, unlike on the iPhone 15 where half of the songs don't play. Needs an update asap.

### 1/5 — Don’t Buy

*2025-08-27, version 2.0.3*

Came highly recommended to improve my audio experience.Even after purchasing the equipment it came up very poor and short of expectations.

### 1/5 — 解約できない

*2025-07-01*

解約できません

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-02-22, version 2.0.3*

Been using this for a long time,I’m a personal library freak and the eq is so handy. Looks good too. Top marks.

### 3/5 — my favoriteが無くなった

*2024-12-30*

ラジオのmy favoriteが無くなりました。聴くラジオは決まっていたので、また探しにいくのが面倒です。 復活をお願いします。

### 5/5 — Now, just awesome-ish

*2024-12-06, version 2.0.3*

Guys, please, pretty please, respond to my call for help. 

Well, it happened… they seem to have stopped supporting the app. I’m on iOS 17.5.1 now. I can’t access my music library and my emails to tech support are going unanswered. I’m still using it for the ‘radio,’ and it’s a huge advantage there, but the loss of support is disappointing… seriously disappointing. It has to be a loss of a star, though I hate to do it. ————- Now approaching iOS 15, all I can say is that I continue to be very grateful to the developers behind this app. If you have any type of hearing loss or abnormality, you need to start listening to your audio through this app. If you’re blessed with great hearing, this is the best app for correcting audio engineers’ biases. I just installed the 64-bit version via the App Store. It's a great day. 😁 No, really, thank you to the Denon team. ————— I have been using this app almost daily for several years now. It's tied as my favorite app with two, maybe three other apps. My only complaint is that sometimes, rarely, I have to shut it down completely (tap home button twice and swipe up) to get it to play clearly again. For what you get by having this app, a totally acceptable quirk. I was honestly afraid that Denon was abandoning this app and that, when iOS 11 was pushed, it would be obsolete. There is no substitute for this app. All the professional reviewers say the same, this is the premium EQ app available today.
