### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-05-18*

Does all it needs to do! Minimalistic but not sacrificing on functionality. Thanks for this.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Hegel control

*2024-04-27*

From iPhone, iPad n Mac , so handy to be able to select input and adjust volume. The new version is indeed faster in selecting the amp, we use it on the 590 and works brilliantly. I only wished I had discovered this app earlier. Thank you great job.

### 4/5 — Works well, BUT isn’t supported on watch!

*2024-02-29*

I like the app.  It was what I was looking for (although not much competition) and it does what it says; with a few glitches here and there.  BUT for $8.99 it should allow Hegel control via an Apple Watch also.  Would be nice to see that in a future update.

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2023-12-27*

Funktioniert perfekt .

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-11-01*

Great app. Perfect puristic design and functionality. Thank you so much for this. 
If integration on Apple Watch comes, too, I’ll be even more enthusiastic.

### 4/5 — Next/prev

*2023-08-15, version 1.0.16*

A quite high price for such basic funcionality. Anyway to control volume from the distance and to hide rhe unused inputs (for the sake of comfort). 
But.. i think that there is one function missing so we could call the funcions of rhis app "basic" - i mean :prev/next. 
Without it it is really not even basic...☹️

### 5/5 — Brilliant!!!

*2023-07-18*

This App saved me 155,10€ (:= 165€ - 9,90€for the App) because I don‘t have to pay for a 2nd Hegel RC8 remote control. 

Works perfectly, even better than the metal remote (you can select Inputs directly and there is no need to cycle through them). You may also name your inputs individually. 
Design := Hegel-Style. 

Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Hegel cool

*2023-04-29*

Работает.

### 5/5 — Indispensabile!

*2023-01-18, version 1.0.16*

App. favolosa, indispensabile per chiunque abbia un ampli Hegel!

### 4/5 — Works well with H190

*2022-03-29*

The app functions well, but…….
Functionality is pretty simple, power on/off, volume control, and input selection is about it. For the price of Hegel amps this remote should be free. 
Also, it would be a plus if the app had DLNA streaming support built in. The H190 has a decent DAC onboard it would be nice to stream from NAS without the need for third party apps that sorta work ok.

### 5/5 — Very clever - works well!

*2022-02-25*

This is exactly what I’ve been needing! It works flawlessly on my H190. Kudos to the developer for making this!

### 4/5 — Работает

*2022-01-20*

На hegel 95 работает нормуль. Иногда выскакивает приложение. Можно добавить таймер отключения ? Очень не хватает.

### 1/5 — Does not work with H190

*2026-05-07*

waste of money save urself the 8$

### 1/5 — no development since 1 year

*2025-04-21, version 1.0.18*

purchased for H190 and it worked well, unfortunately development stopped so when I switched to H190v, app become useless…

### 1/5 — Funktionieren nicht!

*2025-03-22*

Die App findet meinen Hegel H390 nicht, selbst wenn ich die IP-Adresse manuell eingebe! Schade! Ein Stern ist noch zu viel!

### 1/5 — Nie działa :(

*2024-10-03, version 1.0.18*

Niestety nie działa z Hegel190v. Po wskazaniu adresu IP wiesza się :(

### 2/5 — Expensive

*2025-04-16*

Very limited control options, I was hoping to be able to use this as my main control but there’s no option to turn the display off or to access the amplifiers other settings and it only works if an either net cable is plugged into the amp , over all a bit disappointed and don’t see why we have to pay £8.99 to be able to turn the volume up and down with your smartphone

### 2/5 — Not worth 9 bucks

*2023-07-28*

Should be free if you pay 6k for product. The interface is super basic. Should have the hidden features of the amp on the app, like setting volume limits etc…Just my thoughts.

### 2/5 — Bien mais pas top

*2022-08-21*

C’est pratique mais perfectible. Il pourrait y avoir au moins toutes les fonctions qui composent la télécommande fournie comme la désactivation de l’éclairage de l’écran. J’apprécierai qu’il soit possible de personnaliser le nom de la source. Sinon perso j’ai le H95 et le son est splendide. Je suis ravi !

### 2/5 — Hegel h590

*2021-09-02*

Will not allow to switch to usb input from app on Hegel h590 or network

### 2/5 — Volume control only H590

*2021-07-26*

Won’t switch between inputs on my updated H590.

### 4/5 — Overall pretty great but questions

*2025-04-29*

I’ve been using this app for several months with an H390 and it works great - very happy with it. Recently purchased an H190V for another part of the house. Questions
1. How do I easily switch between the 2 amps? Seems like only way is to search for them which doesn’t make for a smooth transition. 
2. Is there a plan to add H190V support? There’s an additional phono input now along with the 2 analog inputs.

### 5/5 — Endlich h390 steuerbar

*2026-02-27*

Die App funktioniert auf Anhieb. Der Hegel lässt sich steuern, dabei sind Quellen, Lautstärke und Standby/ Betrieb möglich. Stellt sich die Frage, warum macht Hegel das nicht einfach auch so?

### 5/5 — Très bien

*2026-02-13*

L’option d’un écran foncé serait très utile. Aussi un contrôle pour éteindre l’écran de l’ampli (display).
Déjà ça vaut la peine.

### 5/5 — zuverlässig, schick und simpel

*2025-04-12*

Ich nutze seit 2 Jahren diese App für den H390 und mittlerweile hat es die App auf meine Schnellzugriffsleiste auf dem iPhone geschafft. Die originale Fernbedienung von Hegel verstaubt derweil im Regal. Die App hat die wichtigsten Funktionen wie Lautstärkeregler, Quellenauswahl und On/Off-Schalter intuitiv und, passend zu Hegel, schlicht und schick eingebettet. Alle wichtigen Funktionen befinden auf einer Seite, sodass man bspw. zum schnell mal „Leise machen“ keine Untermenüs durchqueren muss. Dazu hatte ich noch nie Verbindungsschwierigkeiten und die App lässt sich ohne Ladezeiten blitzschnell öffnen. Ein Essential für jeden Hegelbesitzer.

### 5/5 — Works like a charm

*2025-01-08*

Was disappointed not to find a remote app to work with my Hegel H120 but found this and it’s super easy to set up and works exactly as expected. Nice one.

### 5/5 — Amazingly functional

*2024-12-30*

If you have the right Hegel amp, this app is equally amazing and has worked flawlessly from MBP M3 and Hegel590. Volume and input at fingertips from iOS & Mac OS. Only one request: if window could be sizeable to Min. width accommodating the controls so that it could be open next to apps as Qobuz, Jplay to provide volume control -  would be perfect - thanks for all your work Thijs!

### 5/5 — Pls update

*2024-12-09*

Please consider updating to support the H400 and H600. The official Hegel app is rubbish for precise volume control. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2024-11-24*

Can you add the button to app for screen off, lake at the original remote? Thanks

### 5/5 — Great Remote!

*2024-11-08*

This app allows you to control your Hegel Integrated from anywhere within the same home network. Works flawlessly! Note to the developer - any chance you'll include support for the newer H400/H600? Your volume control is much better than the official Hegel app!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-08-17*

Nice little app for the Hegel family of amps !
Would love to see an upgrade in dark mode

As well as the option to blackout the display

Thanks

### 5/5 — Upgrade for H190V

*2024-08-11, version 1.0.18*

First of all, thank you very much for this app,
I loved it with my former H120. I recently upgraded to H190V and would like to use it with my new amp, which is still not supported as phono input is not present: do you have a roadmap for this upgrade?
Thank you again
