I do have to agree with other review that we need to be able to add pandora username. And also let us easily choose the user as there are probably multi pandora users in a household. I would highly recommend the reciever. Took 2 others back and finally forked over the extra cash. Sounds great! Update Come on. Update to working with IOS 11. No reason my stereo should be out of date now. Or at least make VSX 60 compatible with current versions. ### 3/5 — Needs ios11 update *2017-10-29, version 1.2.0* Can’t use app with new apple update... please update the app ### 2/5 — iOS 11 *2017-10-28, version 1.2.0* Please update the app to function with the latest version of iOS. ### 3/5 — Need Update NOW - Din’t work with IOS 11 *2017-10-08, version 1.2.0* Need Update NOW - Din’t work with IOS 11 ### 3/5 — Need update to IOS 11 *2017-10-04, version 1.2.0* When will this app be updated to work with IOS 11? ### 2/5 — !! App needs update for iOS 11 !! *2017-10-01, version 1.2.0* Used to be great, however the developer needs to update this for iOS 11. Today’s date is 30-SEP-2017. This app no longer works since I have updated my phone to iOS 11 :( ### 2/5 — Need update *2017-09-24, version 1.2.0* Great app but please have update available for use with IOS 11. ### 3/5 — Future Updates? *2017-09-18, version 1.2.0* My iPhone6 has just popped up a message telling me that this app will NOT work with iOS11, and that the developer will need to update it. Will you be making this update? ### 1/5 — Won't work at all with iOS 11 *2017-09-17, version 1.2.0* This app needs to be updated as it will not work with iOS 11 ### 1/5 — No Updates *2017-09-03, version 1.2.0* So Pioneer decided not to update this app. Now it doesn't work. The whole reason I bought my receiver was because it had iOS control. Thanks Pioneer, but don't worry, I won't buy any of your garbage ever again. Fool me once... ### 4/5 — Upgrade Needed for iOS *2017-06-15, version 1.2.0* I have the SC-61 AV Receiver in my home theater and get a warning message on my iPhone that the app will not work with later iOS versions. I noticed that iControlAV13 in the App Store is not compatible with this model. When can we expect an update? I still rate this app highly for ease of use, convenience plus you can operate the receiver from anywhere around the house over wifi and for it's stunning user interface. ### 1/5 — UPDATE PLEASE! *2017-03-10, version 1.2.0* UPDATE PLEASE! UPDATE PLEASE! UPDATE PLEASE! UPDATE PLEASE! UPDATE PLEASE! UPDATE PLEASE! ### 1/5 — Needs an update *2017-01-01, version 1.2.0* This app needs to be updated. You cannot expect people to buy another receiver to be able to use the features that the app no longer provides. ### 1/5 — Please Update the App?! *2016-12-18, version 1.2.0* Loved this app; until it stopped working on IOS 10. Please provide an update. I realize that my VSX-1122 is 4 years old, but I would hope that Pioneer takes better care of its consumer that that. ### 2/5 — Sometimes great other times a piece of crap *2016-04-07, version 1.2.0* When this app works it is a terrific example of how technology is enhancing life in the 21st century and it gets five stars. When it quits working it causes me to pull my hair out and spend hours trying to get it functioning again. It app is unstable. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2015-12-26, version 1.2.0* Was awesome for my 3 zones sc-1527 (Best Buy) av receiver until recently. I get error b57113. If this is not corrected I will be disappointed in pioneer and seek other avr. No updates in 3 years is disappointing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Angry *2018-05-05, version 1.2.0* Great app. If it were up to date. Used to work wonderfully. Now it’s just junk because it’s not compatible with iOS 11+ ### 1/5 — ios11 *2018-02-17, version 1.2.0* Doesn’t work at all please make an update.... ### 1/5 — Update *2017-11-16, version 1.2.0* Uhhh gonna update for iOS 11 or nah?! ### 1/5 — Shame on pioneer for failing to update *2017-11-05, version 1.2.0* Last update 5 years ago, now with iOS 11 can’t use the app to control my mint sc-68. I can’t believe I have to go back to living like it’s 2008. ### 1/5 — Update for iOS 11 PLEASE!!!!! PLEASE!!!! *2017-11-03, version 1.2.0* My God please update this immediately ### 1/5 — Not compatible with IOS11. Please update. *2017-10-30, version 1.2.0* This app used to work halfway decent but now no longer works with iOS version of 11 update ### 1/5 — Update for ios 11 *2017-10-20, version 1.2.0* When is coming update for ios11 Thank you!!! ### 1/5 — Update the app please *2017-10-15, version 1.2.0* Well the app no longer works with IOS 11. So at this point I can’t give any stars. Who know with the app being an older app will they update it so it can be used with IOS-11?? ### 1/5 — No longer works after iOS 11 update *2017-10-12, version 1.2.0* Please fix! Needs update. Can no longer use! ### 1/5 — Not working with the new IOS 11.X *2017-10-08, version 1.2.0* Is there an update on its way? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It needs to be updated *2017-10-30, version 1.2.0* ASAP Please!! ### 5/5 — Update require *2017-10-17, version 1.2.0* I have been using since it launched. Recently i have updated to ios 11 and it stopped working. Could you please support and update? Thank you ### 5/5 — Perfect *2017-09-22, version 1.2.0* You have to update the app to IOS 11 !!! ### 5/5 — Probably Been Improved Upon *2016-11-21, version 1.2.0* Bought a used VSX-60 from a friend and he told me about this app and he also told me he could not get it to work. That was a couple years ago, (it's now 2016) and when I tried it there was no problem I encountered. Cool app and it does what it's supposed to. ### 5/5 — Broken in ios9 *2015-09-21, version 1.2.0* Apparently now broken in ios9. Used same program in ios8 on another iOS device and it works fine. ### 5/5 — Much easier than a remote *2015-01-04, version 1.2.0* Title says it all. It is so hard to see the remote and read those little button tags. This does everything I need so much easier! ### 5/5 — Great, Handy App *2014-08-07, version 1.2.0* I use this on my SC-1522 and it is great and so handy for controlling volume, switching sound modes, and controlling the inputs such as Pandora radio. Someone here wrote an angry review about not being able to register your Pandora account with this app. This is so easy to do through the receiver. Registering Pandora is not the purpose of this app. Controlling it from anywhere in the house is the purpose. Great app. Disappointed to see so many poor reviews. I had an Onkyo receiver blow up on me after 2 years but I stick with Pioneer because of the quality and reliability I have experienced. One is still going strong for 10 years and counting. ### 5/5 — Indispensable ! *2014-03-01, version 1.2.0* Je l'utilise avec le sc-1527. Cette app simplifie beaucoup les réglages. C'est bien triste pour ceux qui n'ont pas un modèle compatible. Je pense que pioneer devrait faire un effort pour arranger ça. Pour le reste... C'est fantastique... :) ### 5/5 — receiver app saves the world! *2014-02-06, version 1.2.0* OK, maybe not literally, but on top of an insanely great receiver (SC-63) Pioneer puts out an insanely great app. Plugged in the Ethernet cable to the back, installed this app, and was streaming a Louisiana bluegrass internet radio station in literally seconds. Almost every setting is controllable through this app, which is a godsend given how difficult this is to do from the on-panel display and how inconvenient it is to do from the on-screen display for most modern receivers. But on top of all the actual functionality there is so much charm and whimsy built in- I especially like how the audio settings fall down like little bubbles from one of those tile breaker games. In short, this app and your Pioneer receiver has pretty much all the automation features you could dream of and I look forward to starting reveille.mp3 to wake up my sons for school from the comfort of my own warm bed very soon ;-) ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2013-08-30, version 1.2.0* Just upgraded to the sc-lx76, the app does everything it says, would be good to access the set up menus too, as my amp is in a separate location so have to use the set up screen on the front of the amp. However, it is still brilliant. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
