Very Difficulty

Very difficult to use. Status on app is not always true status of system.

HEOS App works great

I am using HEOS regularly and appreciate all the remote capabilities available using my iPAD and iPhone. It integrates very well with my Denon system. Navigation could be a little simpler but I do not have any suggestions. I have figured out how to find and use the features I need.

Functional, but the user experience needs improvement

I’ve tried using HEOS with my Marantz Cinema 60, particularly when I was subscribed to Tidal, but I never found the experience particularly enjoyable or intuitive. I ended up using Tidal Connect instead, just as I now prefer Spotify Connect for everyday listening.

HEOS works, but the interface and overall user experience could be much better, especially considering the quality and price of Marantz equipment.

I recently discovered Dirigo, an independent app that combines Marantz receiver controls and HEOS music features in one modern interface. It even allows me to control my Apple TV from the same app.

It’s a good example of how much more convenient the experience can be when everything is thoughtfully integrated.

Marantz makes excellent hardware, but I think its software deserves considerably more attention.

Funktioniert einwandfrei!

Verbindet das Neugerät mit dem W-Lan. Spotify verbindet sich direkt und läuft ohne hack und bags. Weltweite Internet-Radiosender findet er sehr schnell und laufen stabil.
= bin sehr zufrieden mit der Heos App und die funktionen.

Plays one song then stops

Great idea when it works. Use the app via a Marantz Cinema 40. Every time I use it, it plays one song then a message pops up and says ‘unable to play media, try again later’. Updates are current and Network connections are all ok; the only advice on a solution I can find is to turn the amp off and leave for 30 seconds before turning on again, which has worked occasionally and then it reverts to not playing anything again. Maybe it’s an amp issue who knows but overall it’s rubbish for me.
