HELP!

New app opens to “detected Dennon AVRs” freezes, and blocks all other functionality in iPhone

Never gets past loading screen

I have two Denon receivers but this app just never loads even after giving it local network. Would love if I could control on mobile

Backward step

Used to work fine, now can’t find avr.

Doesn’t work

A few years ago this worked fine, but even after the updates it doesn’t even connect. Just endless circle. Can’t believe they can’t fix this issue.

Fail

The app doesn’t work with my DENON. The previous version works

Not compatible with iOS 26

No devices show up after upgrade

App is broken

It crashes after you choose your AVR. It was always buggy and unreliable and now it is simply a fail.

So Bad

This app is so unworkable bad I’m selling my new amp and won’t buy Denon ever again. It’s incomprehensible at best. HEOS is intrusive. Playing four channel stereo music is hidden away. How hard is it…

Not bad

I actually use this app almost exclusively for my Denon AVR – X 2300. I like being able to switch different inputs from my iPad like Apple TV, to streamer, to CD player etc. Wish they would update the styling of the app though it’s a little old school.

Crashes on iPad OS

When selecting zone 2 it always crashes, unlike IPhone version.

Very helpful!

I lost the remote and this worked great! Won’t be buying a new one

No IPhone volume control

Unable to change volume using AirPlay on our iPhone 16’s like we used to. Need to use Denon or HEOS app for volume control- very inconvenient. It worked properly before but someone screwed that up with an update. All my devices are up to date.

App is crashing!!!

It crashes every time I try to switch zones! Plese, fix it!

Pior app

The app is constantly crashing and inoperable; unresolved issues have persisted for weeks—precisely with something that was supposed to bring you pleasure and relaxation.

Delete app and reinstall it

If you have problem when switching to another zone (app automatically closes). Delete the app and reinstall it. Probably will solve.

Latest update broken

This has worked for me for years with a X8500HA, but now the latest update crashes and controls are controlling the wrong zones when they do work.

What happened?

It used to work flawlessly. Now, it can’t even find my Denon receiver. Please fix it ASAP.

Перестало работать!

Все работало +- нормально (нормально по уровню разработчиков Денона, для них нормально что иконка отображается); после крайнего обновления теперь когда нажимаю на шапку чтобы настройки зоны открыть - вылетает !!! Требую удалить эту помойку из Аппстора

Works, could be better

If the app is crashing after the August 2026 update, delete and reinstall it.

3 stars because the app dev team sucks at their job for the money we pay into this ecosystem.

Terrible

It was never good to begin with and now it doesn’t work at all. Garbage. Someday someone will make an AVR that is not stuck in the 90s…it won’t be Denon.
