Update: it cannot connect to my marantz sr6007 anymore. Tried everything I could but still it does not connect: incompatible device error. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-16, version 3.9.5* Only controls volume and input selection on my Denon RCD N7 ### 2/5 — Как в том анекдоте *2025-07-11* Слабое подобие правой руки ### 3/5 — What happened? *2025-03-21, version 3.9.5* Is this finally a dead app? This is the greatest app for marantz AVR. No longer works iOS 18. Anybody home?☹️ ### 1/5 — No Longer Works *2023-09-10, version 3.9.5* Worked fine then just stopped. Junk app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-07-08, version 3.9.5* I bought the app but it never connects to my Denon receiver. ### 2/5 — Brilliant but needs update PLEASE! *2023-06-18, version 3.9.5* Brilliant but needs update as does not work well with iPAD pro 11” 2nd gen screen resolutions.... Really brilliant pity no updates…. ### 4/5 — Must Have App *2023-01-08, version 3.9.5* I love this app for all of my receivers! I would have given it 5 stars, however whenever I put my iPad down, it mutes the sound on my receiver which is very annoying! ### 4/5 — Very useful app *2023-01-02* Thanks for the amazing job, well worth the money. The actual hardware remote with the marantz costs 130€ and needs replacement after a couple years because the keys to PCB contacts are just bad and they wear out quickly, so no more remote replacement needed, thanks again. Maybe one little missing feature: audio receiver firmware upgrade straight from the app… ### 2/5 — Zone control *2022-12-29, version 3.9.5* All I want is a simple remote that can control the power and volume SEPARATELY in the Main Zone and Zone 2 The Denon app has this simple feature but suffers from instability and usually can’t find the Denon AVR on the local network (eero mesh system is flawless, so that’s not the problem. ) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-08-27, version 3.9.5* Does not open on iPad. App does not allow for a refund and I cannot contact the developer. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever purchased. *2026-04-25, version 3.9.5* Can not find my AVR 2313ci even after seeding the app with the IP and confirming the IP responds to http into the receiver's internal server. I expected this app to read the receivers configuration but it can not even find it. ### 1/5 — DeRemote for Denon and Marantz *2026-04-18, version 3.9.5* I own a Marantz SR7015 and this app doesn’t even load. Can’t even get far enough to connect to system. I off loaded it and reloaded it several times. Please advise if there is anything that can be done. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-03-27, version 3.9.5* Won’t open , won’t refund either. ### 1/5 — Arnaque *2026-02-28* Ne fonctionne pas ### 1/5 — Buggy *2025-11-30, version 3.9.5* Bad app and not worth the money, can’t get it to connect with my wifi so its pretty much useless ### 1/5 — Needs update *2025-08-06, version 3.9.5* I have had this remote for several years and out of the blue it stopped working. It just crashes every time you try to open it. I have an iPhone 14 Plus max. It’s all updated and still doesn’t work. Such a pity. ### 1/5 — Подключение marantz 50 cinema *2025-03-26* Не могу подключить ресивер. Запрашивает IP адрес - ввожу не подключает( Не работает программа ### 1/5 — App won’t even open! *2025-02-26, version 3.9.5* App crashes immediately upon opening. I was so excited to use it but this is just sad performance. ### 1/5 — App stop working *2024-11-26* App crashes in iphone 15 ios 18,no response from developer ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing Product *2026-04-21* This App is amazing and works perfectly!!! I am in Japan and was disappointed because DENON does not have good software for my AVR 3313 and I could not connect to the Original Denon Remote App (I had a Pioneer receiver before and they make better software for their older receivers). I then Downloaded this software for my AVR 3313 and it worked perfectly right away and it controls everything and I can make adjustments just like when I connect the CPU to LAN cable or use the original remote. The only thing that would make it better is a more modern interface with graphics but it’s already perfect. ### 5/5 — Works Great *2025-11-30, version 3.9.5* I have used this for years now with my SR7002. Leaves the useless Marantz app for dead plus i do not regret spending the money. It would be great though to see it updated as i am sure it has some bugs that an update could fix, such as “in what’s playing now” does not show the image 99 out of 100 time when using Net for internet radio apps. ### 5/5 — Mr *2024-12-08, version 3.9.5* Kami ### 5/5 — Still works *2024-11-02, version 3.9.5* Still the best app for Denons. Works great. Love the UI. Even accesses some features the Denon app can’t, ### 5/5 — Better than the Denon app *2023-12-27, version 3.9.5* Great app, I have a Maranz and Denon receiver, works well with both. No ads, no obnoxious pop up’s, does not crash, does exactly what it claims ### 5/5 — Besser als das Original *2023-10-31* Eine grandiose App, die besser funktioniert, als die Originale! :) Man kann sich eine eigene Kategorie mit den Favoriten an Einstellungen erstellen und somit auf einer Seite das Wichtigste individualisieren. Kein Fehler aber ein kreativer Vorschlag für ein Feature, das ich vermisse (allerdings auch bei der Originalen): Eine Funktion wäre cool, mit der ich beide Subwoofer-Level miteinander koppeln kann. Mein Audyssey-Setup hat ermittelt, den SW1 aug -9,0 und den SW2 auf -9,5 zu pegeln. Jetzt wäöre es cool wenn man die per Schalter auf diesem Unterschied miteinander koppeln könnte und ab dann ändern sich beide immer Parallel miteinander. Eigentlich benötigt man das Ändern von beiden Subwoofern im Alltag so gut wie niemals getrennt von einander... ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-08-25, version 3.9.5* Has everything I need, works well. ### 5/5 — Love it- need Dirac *2023-07-02, version 3.9.5* The app looks so good and easy to use! It would be great if you could update it to allow the Dirac controls that are now available for the Marantz 50. Also, I love the my controls interface. Could you possibly add speaker preset selection, 1/2 and Dirac live target slot selectors? ### 5/5 — Great alternative *2023-05-11, version 3.9.5* Love the app ### 5/5 — Works Great *2023-02-20, version 3.9.5* My Denon AVR receiver is a pain to adjust but with this app its easy peazy!
