### 5/5 — Works fine

*2026-02-03*

app works fine for my Kenwood head unit…

### 5/5 — Works Great DMX958XR

*2025-04-21*

I haven’t used the app a lot but no issues so far. iPhone 13 Pro iOS 18.3.2
Thank you KENWOOD

### 1/5 — I would give this u app zero if there was one, don’t waste your time

*2022-11-19*

This app is unwalkable

### 5/5 — Works for me...

*2021-04-22*

I don’t know why everyone is complaining. It works just like a remote should. I can switch between driver control and passenger... the swipe of driver control is kind of silly, cause I can do everything I need to without taking my eyes off the road to find my phone, but the passenger controls work very well! Has different screens to control either audio, video or phone. I like it!!

### 1/5 — It’s crap

*2020-10-08*

I don’t even understand the point of this app. It literally does nothing but allows you to scribble random things to make your radio change between radio, and I don’t even know what else. Totally useless.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2020-08-17*

The app does not work

### 1/5 — What a waste of time

*2020-07-08*

This app doesn’t work on my iPhone 11. All I see is a blue line trailIng. This is the perfect example of one of those apps that are thrown out there by corporations or private parties that are never updated. Apple and iTunes need to weed out these outdated apps and get rid of them or send notifications to the creators of these apps to update or remove them because they are a waste of my time.

### 1/5 — Needs vast improvement

*2020-06-15*

Good idea, however this app is junk.

### 5/5 — Must have!!!

*2020-04-30*

I recently bought a double din kenwood dmx7706s this app does almost everything I use it as a remote to put up volume and down etc since I didn’t set in my steering control yet. So for me it’s very useful 5🌟

### 1/5 — POOR KMM-X704 COMPLETELY

*2020-04-19*

I have never ever seen a more useless app in my life. KENWOOD should be ashamed. If they don’t fix this don’t download this app and don’t buy the KMM-X704 stereo.
