### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-15, version 3.13.1*

Stay away from this brand. I prefer analog, but went this brand. It is terrible. This app rarely works.

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

*2026-08-06, version 3.13.1*

My AV30 is connected to via Ethernet to my home network.  Connections are 100%, no issues.

This app really needs a dark mode for dark room watching.  The web interface can be dark but the controls are sluggish compared to this app.

The Blu-Ray input changes the user interface to a bunch of disc controls but they only work with compatible players.  I would rather have it look like all of the other inputs/controls.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2026-07-29, version 3.13.1*

I try to connect and the app just crashes

### 1/5 — アプリをけして、アンプを初期化でストレスからの解放。

*2026-07-24*

レコードを聞こうとphonoに合わせても、勝手にHEOSに変更される。レコードを再生してphonoに戻すと一瞬だけレコードが鳴りHEOSになる。
（何が書いてあるか分からないかもしれないが、悪戯されてる様な状況）

ネットで調べたら、このアプリをアンインストールするか、アンプを初期化するかの2択。（厳密には、スマホとアンプの接続を常に切っておく、という手段もあるが、このアプリを入れる意味が無い）

アンインストールしてストレスから解放されました。
と、思ったら、またHEOSに邪魔されたので、アンプを初期化しました。

マランツは不誠実な会社ですね。

### 5/5 — Rather good

*2026-07-22, version 3.13.1*

Most of the reviews here seem to be negative. You’ll notice that they’re also old. I’ve just downloaded it for my Cinema 70 and it seems to work fine. 

It has a nice, clean interface, it’s easy to navigate and it’s pleasant not to have turn on the tv to access the AVR’s settings. 

I like it, so there. 

(The HEOS app, however, is pants.)

### 1/5 — Not working, “twirls & twirls”

*2026-07-10, version 3.13.1*

App was working. Not now. Unable to find receiver. 

Bueller? …anyone?

Please fix.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2026-06-19, version 3.13.1*

This app takes a long time to find the AVR on the network, if it ever does. I just log in via IP address to do what I want. Major fail for this app. It kind of sucks!

### 3/5 — Panasonic DIGAとHDMI接続

*2026-06-17*

マランツのcinema 30を使っています。ブルーレイのディーガとHDMI接続をしていると、時々途切れてすぐ復活します。
設定をいろいろ変えているのですが、この現象がなおりません。
HDMI接続した他の機器でも頻度は少ないですが、同じことが起きます。
ソフトウェアのアップデートを望みます。

### 2/5 — Needs Help

*2026-06-13, version 3.13.1*

So loosely coordinated with the full remote control. 
Needs major updates.

### 1/5 — COMPLETE FAILURE

*2026-06-02, version 3.13.1*

Connecting wireless headphones is a nightmare. Bluetooth transmitter is an epic failure. I’m very sorry I bought my Marantz Cinema 70s receiver.
