2026, Still works for me

Not sure how I'm lucking out but it works for me thankfully. I did do a factory reset on the receiver and a full setup. I can also connect through the IP address on my browser when on the same network

buggy and constant fail

Oct 2025, very last day, they made sure to wreck/end any ability to control the Pioneer of mine.
The app worked the day before ON ALL THE MACHINES I installed this app on.
Then on the last day, NONE of them worked... didnt see the amp.
All the Airplay and BT wireless features work still, but refuses to show the amp on the same network now.

Sick fail

so, DEAD ENDED IN 2025?

Yup. On a couple machines that worked this app fine just days ago. Deleted app, rebooted, tried diff freq. on my wireless, NONE REACH IT NOW.

yes yes yes did all the typical “do this” garbage and none “sees” the pioneer now, DO NOT WASTE MY TIME BLAMING ME like is usual of trolls and “companies”, Pioneer doesn’t support this app for ages and officially wants it dead, same way they torched Internet Radio sections my model has, several years ago

Won’t waste time typing my model, I bet this touchy app FAILED EVERYONE ELSE TOO on Oct 30, 2025.

Too bad zero stars not eligible, its always been a PITA but is now Totally a PITA.

What about VSX 8080

I’ve used the AV app for years and it was awesome, but now the original app is no longer supported by Apple and the new app does not support older pioneer kit which still is awesome and still working. Sort it out pioneer. This worked perfectly before

Basic but big issues

Works for regular stuff, but going in settings (actually on inputs what’s separate) to set password is a mess!
So absolutely no protection, anybody can play on your online receiver if they know few things!
Can set password and after a while disappeared, just junk!
Also will show up also like ip address…
Sometimes is impossible to find the sc97 in your network, when showing it’s connected to your wifi…frustrating!
9.29.25 after last update the app crashes right away…just junk!
