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.

Broken

It used to work. Now it just hangs after selecting a receiver and then crashes

Functional but unrefined.

Few minor glitches and UX sections leave the user with an average taste.. it works though but not as per apple standard

Denon may need to hire for a year or two a great apple iOS UX expert till the foundations are in place

Great receiver absolute trash software

Guys , you can literally use ai to make this ap better. Has to be the most glitchy inconsistent ap I have ever used. Please don’t make me replace my receiver because your software is so garbage

crash

The app crashes every time I try to switch zones on the receiver. It closes immediately, with no error message . App version: [3.13.3]. Phone: Iphone promax 17, ios 26.6

Stopped working

It worked passably for years, but a recent update broke it. Now it can’t control an AVR at all.

New update 08/26 doesn’t even connect

Can’t use app remote because it doesn’t even connect after update, just an endless loading circle. What a shame
