Dumb and Lazy

Any particular reason you clowns can’t give this app any attention? Read the one star reviews brainiacs. I’m also reporting to the BBB and Consumer Affairs for Breach of Contract. No wonder this company nearly went bankrupt. Should’ve purchased American.

Sick of dropping WiFi

How is it a person can spend hundreds of dollars on a receiver and the people who design it cannot manage to make it connect to WiFi? This stupid thing disconnects from my network constantly. It makes the app entirely worthless. Thank god I pulled off the DiracLive setup before the WiFi crapped out, or that perk would’ve been worthless too. Hopefully this thing dies soon so I can buy a different receiver. Never buying Onyko again.

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
