### 1/5 — Not connecting

Won't connect to my receiver. It's searches endlessly.  I downloaded the ipad version and I have an ipad 2.

### 1/5 — Stopped connecting

*2015-04-24, version 1.2.0*

Recently this developed an intermittent connection problem between my iPad air2 and my vsx-1021. Can connect from my iPhone. Trashed and redownloaded the iPad app. This problem was encountered on two iPads. 
Anyone else having this issue?

### 1/5 — NEED ios8 update!!!!!

*2015-01-11, version 1.2.0*

Please, please provide an update for ios8! Iv just updated my ipad and this app has no ios8 support, very frustrating as ios8 was released a while ago and still no support available. I used to use this app every day now cannot use at all, please sort this out as soon as possible !!!

### 5/5 — It now works using IOS8.1!!!

*2014-11-02, version 1.2.0*

Ater weeks of frustration, finaly figured it out! 
After updating the my VSX-50 to latest fireware from pioneer using a USB, everything to started working on both the iPhone and the iPad!

### 1/5 — Crashes and fails to load

*2014-10-26, version 1.2.0*

Used to be great. Now the app won't even start. IPhone 5s and iPad Air. Ios8.1

### 5/5 — The iControlAV5 app has been updated to include most 2011 models

*2014-10-23, version 1.2.0*

I had the iControlAV2 app for many years for the Elite SC-55. The app worked for the most part, but lacked some features that the iControlAV2012 app had. So I was always a little disappointed that Pioneer never updated the iControlAV2 app. I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 8 and then noticed that some features of iControlAV2 app weren't working (further disappointment). So I looked for another app hoping to come across one that would support my receiver. Found iControlAV5, but it didn't support it. Now today I noticed that iControlAV5 has been updated to include my receiver. It is exactly what I needed. Pioneer it's about time you gave us one app for many models that gets updated instead of many apps that include only a few models. iControlAV5 is exactly what I needed! Hopefully this review will steer you to an app that will work for you also.

### 5/5 — If you use this I would not upgrade to iOS v8 - revised with fix!!!

*2014-10-10, version 1.2.0*

The app seems to hang without getting to the connect screen under iOS 8.  Still works fine under iOS 7 on my other iPad although I ended up doing a reset on the receiver to get it to go after trying to connect to it using iOS 8. It's not a bad app.  I wish I hadn't taken the iOS upgrades.  It will be neat if Pioneer can fix this by adding support for 2011 receivers to a newer version of to app.  If you like this app I'd hold off upgrading to iOS8.

UPDATE: this is such a useful app that we tried a few things, including a network sniffer.  The iOS 8 iPad communicated differently than the iOS 7 iPad on the same network.  Deleted the app and re-installed.  Problem resolved.  Now works under iOS8 as it should.
