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I own a Marantz Cinema 60 and I’m very happy with the receiver itself, but the official AVR Remote app feels seriously outdated.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.

Please update app
Connection is intermittent, Works 70% of the time
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.
Не работает
Отвратительное приложение, не работает с сетевым СD ресивером Marantz M-CR612
Terrible
Stay away from this brand. I prefer analog, but went this brand. It is terrible. This app rarely works.
Pretty Good
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.

Crashing
I try to connect and the app just crashes
アプリをけして、アンプを初期化でストレスからの解放。
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。

Rather good
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.)

Not working, “twirls & twirls”
App was working. Not now. Unable to find receiver.
Bueller? …anyone?
Please fix.

Not great
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!
Panasonic DIGAとHDMI接続
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。

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

COMPLETE FAILURE
Connecting wireless headphones is a nightmare. Bluetooth transmitter is an epic failure. I’m very sorry I bought my Marantz Cinema 70s receiver.
What happened?
Used to be great! Functional, quick, thorough….now it can’t find my receiver and I have to through a series of reboots or re downloads….pleeeaaaaaase fix it!
Seems to lack access to Dirac filter selection in Audio Setup menu.

It works great or it doesn’t
This app often connects to the last receiver it was used with automatically, I’m fortunate to have two that are a few years old, and the AVR settings are well laid out on one screen. Other times the app just won’t connect to show one or both AVRs no matter how many times I open and close it. You’d think Marantz would fix this after several years. Could be a lot better.
