### 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。

### 4/5 — Equalizer top. Nimmt aber viel CPU leider.

*2024-08-08*

Top Bedienung. 1a klang durch den Hammer Equalizer. Leider nimmt die App sehr viel CPU Leistung in Anspruch. Dadurch geht der Akku in die Knie. Es scheint sich auch keiner der Entwickler mehr um die Weiterentwicklung zu kümmern. Insgesamt ist die Sound Ausgabe im Vergleich zu anderen Apps viel zu leise. Meine Lieblingsapp für Internet Radio zum Beispiel absolut Relax kann man prima damit hören und der Sound ist einfach genial und leider stürzt die App immer wieder ab und ich habe im Moment immer noch keine Alternative gefunden. Wenn jemand eine Idee hat immer her damit

### 4/5 — Now, just awesome-ish

*2024-07-10*

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.

### 3/5 — Stutters Track Beginning

*2024-04-01, version 2.0.3*

The app is nearly ruined by clipping off the first ~100ms of the track. Please fix.

### 3/5 — Ne fonctionne plus sous IOS 17

*2024-01-21, version 2.0.3*

Dommage car cette application était super pour ajuster le son selon notre audition.

### 4/5 — Like it

*2023-10-15*

It's a great program, but it's time to update it! The radio doesn't always work properly.

### 3/5 — Mr. Rob

*2023-05-10, version 2.0.3*

When are you going to update this app 
This app is really good but can be a lot better
 thanks

### 1/5 — Lost all playlists and songs.

*2023-02-01, version 2.0.3*

When apple did an update all my playlist and songs had been deleted. I did a restore from a previous backup and it still didn’t have my playlist or songs. Also I can no longer see any options for importing my own music.

### 1/5 — Buggy!

*2023-01-28, version 2.0.3*

Downloaded to try to get the best from some Denon headphones. They’re ok, but the app randomly doesn’t play songs and sometimes crashes, probably as there’s been NO UPDATES for over 5 years!! Shows they don’t care. Never buying Denon gear again. What a joke!!

### 4/5 — Needs serious updating

*2022-10-27, version 2.0.3*

Nice little app functions as it supposed to but he’s serious updating still using the old tune in logo. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Верните деньги

*2022-10-08*

Списали 179 рублей, ничего не работает! Деньги вернете?

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-08-24, version 2.0.3*

This app promised everything and delivered nothing. There’s not 1 song in my Apple Music playlist that this app will play.
Just another music equaliser app that doesn’t work. Very annoying and really frustrating. Totally useless!

### 4/5 — イコライザは良い、UIは最悪

*2022-08-17*

タイトル通り。
ま、何年もアップデートしてなさそうだから仕方ないか。
音は良い。すぐにイメージした音にたどり着ける。

### 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

### 1/5 — 再生がおかしい？

*2024-12-06*

YouTubeとか見た後、起動すると、画面表示している状態だと音楽が再生しているのにBGMの状態にすると曲が止まってしまう。その場合、アプリを削除して、再インストールしないとならないので、手間がかかる。

### 1/5 — Comprei e bloquearam meu acesso

*2024-04-10*

Paguei e o aplicativo funcionou bem no início, apesar de uma restrição estúpida DA MAIORIA das músicas  no Apple Music. Todavia, depois de um tempo, não reconhece mais a minha compra sem razão alguma, não consigo resgatar a compra e pedem para que eu pague novamente! Falta de bom senso e respeito com o usuário!

### 1/5 — An abject piece of garbage

*2023-08-17, version 2.0.3*

I was shocked by this one. I wanted and still want an EQ for podcasts; a lot of podcasts are made without a lot of attention to the sound of the voices and I often feel like I’m listening to mud and bad sound, dropouts and poor digital transmission. This app was said to have the ability to play and EQ music and podcasts, but it can’t load or play them, there is no play / stop interface. The sound was not improved, but does that matter if the app can’t access what you wanted to play anyway? A total waste of effort.

### 1/5 — Denon AH-GC30

*2023-06-22, version 2.0.3*

Don’t work.

### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Time or Money

*2023-02-28, version 2.0.3*

Works no better than what comes on the iPhone. After I purchased the equalizer it didn’t change anything. Demon support is nonexistent. Apple, you should do a better job of filtering out scams.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Now, just awesome-ish

*2024-12-06, version 2.0.3*

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

### 5/5 — Terrific app with…

*2024-09-19, version 2.0.3*

a great equalizer that impeccably integrates with the Apple Music library. Has other nice features as well. 10 stars if I could.

### 5/5 — Enhances sound even for cars

*2023-04-18, version 2.0.3*

My car has an average sound system. Playing music via this app has transformed my car audio system significantly! Simply mindblown..

### 5/5 — Great sound app

*2023-02-24, version 2.0.3*

Great sound EQ. Although I am not sure why it is using so much cell data when all my music is local device and I don’t use steaming.  I had to turn off data for this app.

### 5/5 — Music dissapeared

*2022-08-01, version 2.0.3*

All my music dissapeared out of nowhere on the app? Have used it for years with no problem, has this happened to anyone else?

### 5/5 — La mas redituable app.

*2021-12-06, version 2.0.3*

Mi mejor compra desde que tengo IOS.  Lo unico Que no soporta es la musica en renta de itunes. Solo puedes escuchar tu libreria con musica comprada.

### 5/5 — Beirando a perfeição!

*2021-09-17*

Gostaria que pusessem a função de adicionar músicas fora da iPod Library.
