Great hardware deserves a better app
I own a Marantz Cinema 60 and I’m very happy with the receiver itself, but the official AVR Remote app feels seriously outdated.
The interface is clunky, lacks a proper dark mode, and isn’t particularly comfortable to use on modern iPhones. It’s disappointing that a premium audio manufacturer doesn’t provide a better software experience.
I recently switched to a third-party app called Dirigo, which offers a much more modern interface and even lets me control my Apple TV alongside the Marantz.
It’s a shame that an independent developer can provide a better user experience than the manufacturer of the hardware.
Marantz makes excellent equipment. Its software should be just as good.

Another DM app that doesn’t work
Another app that doesn’t work from Denon & Marantz, it’s unfathomable that you’re selling high-end audio equipment to professionals and then there’s no customisation in the app. People who have the money to buy your equipment are not the type of fools happy for all sundry to abuse their privacy, don’t have security, and leave the settings to shout out globally unique hardware ID’s.

Works Great
I will say that dark mode will be a great addition to the app. It works very well with my Cinema 50 Series 2. Personally I would prefer a rotating volume control instead of the sliding bar. Lots of control options within the app. After seeing the poor ratings I wasn’t going to install it, glad I did give it a try.

Functions but poor UI
Poor UI. It feels clunky and can be very confusing. Not very user intuitive. It does function, but my 17 year old could design a an app that’s better laid out.
