Volume and track control and ability to add additional Fusion speakers is it. A sadly missed basic feature to adjust tone or better equalisation would allow you to maximise the sound quality in the different installation locations. The one inside my caravan has too much base and resonates. And the one though outside sounds great could easily handle more. And would love a Bluetooth remote control to turn off/on etc ### 4/5 — Boating Fun *2026-05-18, version 11.0* App does what it needs to but please add support for the Apple Watch. ### 5/5 — Top App *2025-11-13* Die Entwickler scheinen echt was drauf zu haben ### 5/5 — On the Road with Fusion “Marine Radio” and Sirius XM *2025-10-25, version 10.0* The many features and advantages of having such a device in the #Airstream is a great benefit! ### 5/5 — Summer fun *2025-10-05* Fusion amp and tuner integrated perfectly with Garmin plotter and Simrad units.speakers are phenomenal. 8 inch with silk dome tweeter, found some great space to mount them in, big sub in the engine bay. Direct connection through aux or BT Loud, clear, musical Soft crystal moving sound Magic! ### 5/5 — Great app , easy to use *2025-09-13, version 9.0* Very user friendly ### 5/5 — Fusion WB675 hideaway *2025-08-08, version 9.0* This app works great on my WB-675. I used my iPhone 15 with a usb-c to USB for my updates and it controls everything really well. I also installed the ERX400 wired remote so I don’t have to use the app but it has worked great every time I’ve needed it. ### 5/5 — Best marine stereo *2025-06-30, version 9.0* Great stereo. 4 Separate zone control produced best sound on the boat. Previous system split a single output. Sound was mediocre. Now I can turn the bow down while surfers can jam. ### 2/5 — Plante *2025-06-28* Perte de la connexion, obligé d’éteindre le téléphone pour se reconnecter ### 5/5 — Quality product *2025-06-23, version 9.0* Great product! Nice sound and easy to use ### 5/5 — MS RA 770 *2025-06-22* Läuft super mit der App 👌 ### 5/5 — Memnuniyet *2025-06-06, version 8.0* Çok memnunum ### 4/5 — Apple Watch *2025-05-05, version 8.0* Very good App on IPhone but would like to see Apple Watch Volume Control that I had on older Kicker Stereo ### 5/5 — Bewertung *2025-04-13* Spitze App macht genau was ich erwarte 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Installer Use *2025-04-03, version 8.0* I’m an installer and I love being able to adjust every setting in the Fusion stereos I install for this app ### 5/5 — No Worries *2025-04-01, version 7.0* All the networked Garmin products on my boat operate seamlessly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lots of features, none work if you can’t connect devices to their audio units! *2026-06-29* Lots of depth to the app, all of which is pointless as consistently connecting devices to these audio devices is woeful. Once you think you have it connected, it will eventually not reconnect. Makes this and Garmin audio devices a complete no-go. DO NOT BUY they can’t seem to get the basics right. ### 1/5 — Ne détecte rien *2026-05-27* Meme apres un factory reset, MSRA 210 jamais reconnu. ### 1/5 — My Experience: The Stereo’s Fine, But the App Is Infuriating *2025-10-20* I’ve got a Fusion stereo that works like any old-school car stereo from the 80s. The real disaster is the Fusion app: it’s basically useless. It constantly says “no stereo found” even when the stereo is playing music just fine. After hours of trying to pair and re-pair, plus a call to support, I learned I’d have to physically remove the stereo from its mount just to update it. That’s not practical at all on a boat. In short: the app is a nightmare, and I wouldn’t buy this again. Just my experience, but save yourself the headache. ### 1/5 — Dreadful *2025-09-01, version 9.0* Honestly guys. For what this costs, my $100 radio back in the day was far more reliable. All SW always kept up to date. Constant Bluetooth drops, skips, restarts. Both the head unit (MS-RA670) and the app are borderline garbage. Sorry for that. I expect much more given the $$$. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with latest iOS *2025-03-29* Doesn’t work with latest iOS ### 1/5 — Braindead app *2024-06-30, version 4.0* Number one feature of an audio device is to manage the volume. Unfortunately the brain dead people behind this app decided that you should not be able to do that using built in volume control of your phone. ### 1/5 — Won’t connect to Bluetooth *2024-03-25, version 4.0* My phone connects to the head unit fine via Bluetooth but the app doesn’t see the Bluetooth connection. Keeps saying no stereos found. Old version worked fine. ### 1/5 — Absolute waste of time *2023-08-20* Downloaded the app 2 years ago and couldn't connect to my MS-RA770. Tried again today - no success. The irony when trying to connect via the app is that I’m playing music over Bluetooth. ### 1/5 — WORKED WELL BEFORE UPADTE *2023-07-11* SRX400 stereo worked well on factory software, updated the headunit and now the Bluetooth is terrible and unplayable and the unit itself on the native screen lags terrible. How can I backdate this unit? Two factory resets and still no good Current version is 6.09 build number 153. ### 1/5 — Any Updates?! *2023-04-20, version 2.8.2* Seems from what I can finds this App is not compatible with all current recent IPhones. How about an update? Very difficult to update RA770 even with USB drive has to be very specific type. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fusion *2026-06-21, version 13.0* Great ### 5/5 — Great option for blackbox audio *2026-05-31, version 11.0* Less is more on my small center console boat so I went with the Fusion BB100 Black Box stereo and its perfect it’s hidden, enough power for 4 speakers and I can control it with my Simrad or the Fusion Audio app! 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Tomcat *2026-05-25, version 11.0* Works great! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-17* Works well ### 5/5 — App is a game changer *2026-05-15* I did not realize how great my Fusion audio system is until I downloaded this app. It unlocked access to the radio’s full potential. Also the app is much easier to control audio and zones where ever we are on the boat. ### 5/5 — Good. Simple. It works *2026-04-10, version 11.0* Use it often when docked or when boat is in boat hoist. No issues connecting as long as in BT range. ### 5/5 — Fusion audio *2026-03-03* Effect and reliable ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-01-29* I’ve shown a few people this app and how well you can control the sounds on a boat ### 5/5 — Super easy to use! *2025-12-15, version 10.0* Super easy to connect and use. Not a lot of bells and whistles so it’s not complicated which is what I like. ### 5/5 — 很好的音乐控制设备 *2025-11-27* 优秀 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
