App / Network Connectivity Issue

App / Network Connectivity Issue

Needs major upgrade/re-write

Editing the Dirac curve is nearly impossible because the curve is super sensitive when making adjustments and forget about using an iphone. I tried using the app on my iPad but since I started using my iPhone to edit, it won’t let me edit the Dirac curve on my iPad unless I re-take the measurements. Using the controller only sets speaker tone or speaker level temporarily only. It doesn’t save and reverts back to original Dirac settings. This is so frustrating and the only work around is to keep my iPhone open and don’t let the screen lock. So, having 3 separate slots is also useless. Whoever developed this app for Onkyo should be fired!!!!

Infinite loop

I have been using the app for many years. I have had intermittent connectivity issues and would likely give a 3 star review. However; the most recent update now makes the app unusable. If you do not accept the Googlecast privacy policy the app no longer works. I don’t want, or use google. Rather than making this a requirement IF you want to use google it is a blanket acceptance requirement to use any of the app. Very poor design choice and makes the app useless

Horrible!

This is perhaps the worst app I’ve ever used. I constantly have connectivity issues. Listening to music is supposed to be enjoyable. Instead, it just ends up being frustrating.

This thing is sucking

They have now FORCED you to accept Google cast even if you don’t want it to get access to the remote! WHAT GIVES???
