### 2/5 — Not nearly enough

*2024-03-01, version 1.8.5*

This app is nowhere near comprehensive enough as other reviewers have stated. It in no way gives the information that can be gleaned from the on amp display. I was hoping for it to act as a remote display but the functionality is way too basic. For such a high quality product I don’t think it’s too much to expect something more!!

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2022-06-02*

As of IOS 15.5 only source selection still works. No volume, no power, no local music.

### 3/5 — 2 ans et puissance perdu de moitié

*2022-04-16*

Au prix de cette enceinte je m’attendais à un bon service  après vente mais cela est tout l’inverse.. . Petite question ?! Pourquoi supprimer la seul appli Bluetooth compatible avec les phantom? Cela revient à brider un fauve en cage ! Cordialement le SAV DEVIALET LoL

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2021-12-12*

Devialet est ce possible d’avoir une application qui fonctionne ?

### 1/5 — With IOS 15.1 seems to lose connectivity

*2021-11-04, version 1.8.5*

Dear Developers, can you fix the app as it looks like with IOS15.1 the iPhone is not able to connect anymore. And it looks it is not the first time that this has happened. 
Please 
Thanks

### 3/5 — Inconsistent app

*2021-04-06*

I own four Devialet experts and each one works great.  However, the app to control volume, inputs, etc. sometimes will show some of the units, sometimes all of the units and sometimes none of the units.  In addition, the power on feature only works about 40% of the time. It’s surprising that the app is so unreliable given the excellent built quality of the integrated amps.  Wish they’d improve the reliability of the app.

### 2/5 — Ne trouve plus l’expert sur le réseau

*2021-01-10*

L’expert n’a jamais su se connecter lui-même en wifi ! Et même connecté en ethernet l’appli ne trouve pas l’ampli.

### 1/5 — Their loss

*2020-11-26*

This app doesn’t work. I bought an Expert Pro and love the sound so much I was about to buy a second unit for another room but their lack of support for their apps (not just their iPhone app but also their MacOS extension, too) changed my mind and I’m now looking at another integrated amp.

### 1/5 — Lamentable

*2020-11-21*

Toujours aussi nul au regard du prix ... 
on se demande comment l’équipe de dev - ou de direction - se permet d’avoir des notes comme ça ...
Le luxe à la française (on ne citera pas les actionnaires). Lamentable

### 1/5 — Déçu par le peu d’intérêt que porte Devialet pour ses appareil haut de gamme

*2020-11-20*

Le service après-vente Devialet n’est vraiment pas à la hauteur du positionnement très haut de gamme de la marque
C’est vraiment dommage pour son image

### 2/5 — Not quite working.

*2020-10-13, version 1.8.5*

The previous version used to switch on the Devialet Expert Pro, this one unfortunately doesn’t do it....:

A backward step........

### 1/5 — Ne marche plus !!!!!

*2020-10-10*

Depuis la mise à jour de iOS 14 sur Apple l’appli ne marche pas. 
Ça fait 2 ans que Devialet ne fait pas de mise à jour pour l’adapter à la taille des différents iPhone ou iPad. Et maintenant elle ne marche plus... 
Devialet est une maison extraordinaire de compétence mais néglige les détails comme toujours, ce qui frustre énormément les utilisateurs des ampli expert. 
Il serait bien qu’ils n’oublient pas qu’ils n’ont pas que le produit PHANTOM !

### 1/5 — Not working on ios14

*2020-09-26*

App needs updating to work on ios14 (request permission to access network). Would also like to finally see a fully functional remote for the Expert/Expert Pro, not just volume and input select.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne plus avec IOS14...

*2020-09-26*

Impossible de commander son Devialet Expert avec iOS14 !

### 2/5 — IOS14 Update

*2020-09-23, version 1.8.4*

Come on Devialet - where is your update for IOS 14 as I can’t get the app to work now !!!

### 1/5 — No iOS 14 support

*2020-09-23, version 1.8.4*

Stopped working after iOS change. App hasn’t been updated in years. Devialet, please keep supporting your most expensive product (ExpertPro) and not just focus on the crappy speakers!

### 1/5 — When it works it’s great - but does it work?!

*2020-09-21*

Very faulty and seldom connects to devialet.  Horrible customer support as well.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2020-09-19*

Expert app does no work with iOS 14. No word as to update.

### 1/5 — Nul

*2025-11-28*

Ne trouve pas l’enceinte sur le réseau alors que l’application Devialet fonctionne. Ce n est pas sérieux et digne d une marque qui se veut représenter la qualité technique et le luxe.

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2025-09-22*

Ne fonctionne pas

### 1/5 — Does not work and no longer supported

*2025-09-03*

This app is very glitchy. Sometimes it does not pair with the amp. Other times it reports an incorrect volume. I was told by Devialet that they do not support this app. The last update was four years ago.

### 1/5 — Ne marche juste PAS

*2024-10-03*

Pour vendre des enceintes à ce prix, j’attends de l’application qu’elle fonctionne ! J’aime Devialet mais quel dommage !!!

### 1/5 — Cherche pendant des heures

*2023-08-24*

Sans rien trouver. Pas de message d’erreur. Ca tourne en rond…

### 1/5 — Not a good enough replacement for the remote

*2023-06-19, version 1.8.5*

Can’t control everything from the app. Only basic controls like volume and source but not Tone/Sam and so on. Real shame and missed opportunity.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-01-08, version 1.8.5*

Partially work on and off, the money Devialet charge for amplifier is premium product , Devialet MUST develop better remote, not just volume control ! Not even power on/off , NIETZ NOTHING ! Same on you Devialet ! Please remove you scrap remote app, DON’T EVER put broken app online just for fun and never give a dammed about update , maintaining up to date versus your competitors, if I can, I’ll remove the 1* your app mérite , votre app mérite SEULEMENT 1/4 étoile pour copy image du télécommande qui est vrm beau design

### 1/5 — Je vais changer mon ampli

*2022-11-30*

C’est pénible de payer un ampli le prix d’une voiture pour trouver une appli qui ne fonctionne pas. On est en 2022, je vais passer chez un concurrent plus sérieux à Noël 🥴

### 1/5 — Practically useless....

*2022-10-19*

Great idea - but rarely works. Very glitchy. Still don’t understand why they don’t include bass/treble control from the app?.? They really need to pay some attention to getting the app remote right. Seems like a rather big feature that is currently being overlooked.
But biggest issue is that it never connects - just states no amp can be found. I have tried every fix possible - but it simply is broken and Devialet need to fix. 
So much bragging from Devialet - but they can’t even get an app to work…

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-06-02, version 1.8.5*

The app is stuck forever in a searching mode on start up (iOS 15.5). Useless.

### 5/5 — Controls Expert Pro perfectly

*2020-10-16, version 1.8.5*

Much more practical than the bling-bling physical remote provided with the Devialet Expert Pro. This last update works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Disappointed

*2020-09-23*

Is that it!  A hi Fidelity system with the type of investment and this is the app produced?!.  I expected better. 

I like the anesthetics and the feel, but the tone settings should be added

Also..please update the app to work on iPhone 11

### 5/5 — Works perfect

*2018-11-10*

You dont have to carry the remote controller with you, this app is everything you need. I am using it for my D-Premier. More controls needed! It can only see the downloaded music to iphone, in “my music” section, why no connection to spotify?

### 5/5 — Doesn’t work and looks like no development

*2018-06-17*

The remote was great while working.  As I don’t have to check the volume level as the remote had it. After couple of iOS updates the app is useless just can us for turn on and off.

Update the review to 5 Star.  

The latest firmware which came out on June 10,2018 did fix the issue with the expert pro reading the signals from the iOS app. 

It’s awesome that the firmware fixed it. Hope it doesn’t break with the newer updates.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2014-09-09, version 1.8*

Nice adaptation of the real thing. Full functionality would be nice though. I'd even pay for it!
Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Au top

*2014-05-28*

Superbe mise à jour avec la possibilité de contrôler la marche et l arrêt de l appareil depuis l application et surtout depuis mon fauteuil ^^.
Bravo aux développeurs pour cette app qui est bien pratique et simple d'utilisation, ça m évite d'avoir le pc sur les genoux.

Bien sûr on attend avec impatience de nouvelles améliorations, comme par exemple la possibilité de jouer chaque piste directement depuis la bibliothèque sans faire une pré sélection de playlist au préalable; 
ou encore la possibilité de lire les musiques partagées sur iTunes ou un autre disque que celui du téléphone ou tablette.
Il y a aussi les réglages bass aigus de la télécommande et la possibilité d avoir un equalizer.
Ah oui j'allais oublié, ça serait aussi très utile de pouvoir quitter l app pour faire autre chose sur le smart phone ou la tablette sans que la musique coupe, si les développeurs pouvaient se pencher sur ce petit détail ça serait génial !
En attendant je n'utilise que cette app et c'est au top :)
Encore merci

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2014-04-28, version 1.4*

The Devialet is a stunning hi-fi product, and this app is the icing on the cake. 

Intuitive, reliable and very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great update.

*2012-11-25, version 1.2*

Inclusion of the source information provides the functionality that was previously lacking.

### 5/5 — A must for D-Premier owners

*2012-11-23, version 1.2*

Very good interface and duplicate of the on-amp display makes this indispensable for operating the amp.

### 5/5 — A great App for Devialet users

*2012-11-19*

This App is really great as I use my Devialet that way that I do not see the amplifier screen. This way I can fully control it, using the same iPad as I use to remote the iTunes as well.
Works perfectly, for every Devialet user highly recommended!
