### 1/5 — iOS App Crashes

*2026-08-24, version 3.13.3*

I can’t use the iPhone app to control the receiver anymore. It crashes the moment I try to control it.

### 1/5 — Zero Stars

*2026-08-20, version 3.13.3*

It sees the AV receiver, I select it and then it just gives the white circle of nowhere. It has a static IP and all the settings on the unit for networking is correct, the settings for the app on the phone are correct. I cycled everything and reset up everything for connectivity along with a reinstall of the app. Same issue, white circle of nowhere. FIX the app so it functions. It’s 2026, it’s not that hard.

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2026-08-16, version 3.13.1*

Garbage. Get a different amp. These people don’t know anything about making a usable interface

### 1/5 — Zero Stars

*2026-08-07, version 3.13.1*

The functions worsened with each update.

### 4/5 — Worked great on my 3700

*2026-08-06, version 3.13.1*

Opened and less than 10sec later it found my 3700. Handles HEOS besides all the expected controls and presets. A little old UI but free and works. I do have iphone 15 pro and receiver on same network and allowed app to locate on the network when asked.

### 5/5 — Work Perfectly

*2026-08-04, version 3.13.1*

Work seamlessly with my X1700H. A bit slow but everything seem great.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2026-08-04, version 3.13.1*

Works with my 10 year old Denon AVR X2300H with WiiM, Apple TV, Verizon TV, etc. wish they would update the aesthetics of the app, needs a more modern interface. But not bad for free.

### 4/5 — Developer please make a desktop version of this app.

*2026-08-01, version 3.13.1*

I really enjoy using this app to control my Denon AH1AVR it allows me to control everything that the receiver does. I find it very intuitive with plenty of options. Multiple settings to adjust the system to sound exactly the way you want it and I’m personally running 16 speakers with this unit and for subwoofers. They really issue I really would like is I would like a desktop version because I’m not on my phone a lot. I’m on my desktop more. I am disabled and it’s more easy for me to use the desktop than the phone. So please developer if you’re reading this, please make a desktop version for my 16 inch M2, MacBook Pro!!! I’ve been waiting waiting for this company to create a version for my 16 inch M2, MacBook Pro.

### 1/5 — How can it be this bad?

*2026-07-27, version 3.13.1*

Just like the app they got rid of, this one doesn’t work well either. I’m literally connected to the receiver right now. Can even hear my typing sounds through my surround speakers, but the app can never find my receiver. How can Denon suck so bad at this???

### 5/5 — Bueno

*2026-07-27, version 3.13.1*
