Garbage for Tidal Hi-Res

Like others have said, this simply does not work consistently. I can use the mConnectHD app with Tidal and play Hi-Res, some bugs, but nowhere near as bad as this.

Will anyone ever fix this? Anyone giving this more than a one star rating is clearly not using for Tidal Hi-Res.

Refuses to stay connected

I bought the onkyo TXL-20D amplifier and downloaded this application to be able to access some functions, however, I have noticed that the app loses connection with my amplifier. I have noticed, also, that the developer is no longer updating the software.

Super zufrieden mit meinem neuen Onkyo Receiver!

Seit zwei Wochen bin ich jetzt im besitz des
Tx-RZ50 Receivers dabei entdecke ich nach und nach die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, die er mir bietet. Ich würde dieses Gerät sofort wieder kaufen!!!

微妙なところで、使いづらい

Stops after 4 seconds

Music stops playing after 4 seconds into a song. Looks like this app is not supported since other users have reported same issue…

Worked until latest update.

Worked until latest update. The app stops at 4 seconds and music never play on my Onkyo receiver. This is exactly what happened last year with the main playfi app when it updated bricked it. Need to tell everyone to just download the original dtsplayfi app. It gets the updates to work, this does not. Really should just take this app off if you’re not going to support it.

Please Fix Bugs

Can’t go more than 2 songs without things freezing.

Good when it works

This will echo many of the reviews for this app, in that it frequently loses the connection to my receiver. These dropouts cause my receiver to act strangely and even lock up, requiring me to go through the hassle of performing a hard reset. I will probably delete the app as I can accomplish the majority of what this app can do utilizing AirPlay or chromeCast.

アップデートでバグ?

先に書かれていますがTX8390にて1曲で停止するバグ発生していますので現状使いものになりません。

アップデートは慎重に

TX-8390に使っていましたが、アップデート後はつながりにくい、つながっても一曲再生すると止まる、2曲目4秒で必ずフリーズするで使えない状態です。
バグの修正を速やかにお願いします。

Invasive privacy policy and offers me nothing that AirPlay doesn’t

The first time I tried using the app and despite having a compatible Onkyo Receiver and current version of iOS, *and* placing the device next to the WiFi router during multiple set-up attempts, the set-up process failed to see or connect to anything even with multiple restarts of all the devices. Which turned out to be a hidden blessing because I just read the privacy policy, which says that users agree to let Onkyo track everything you do with the app (such as the songs you listen to) and states that the data is *not* anonymized or aggregated, but rather tracked to each user individually, including their email address, postal address, phone number, employer, etc. for the purpose of marketing to the user. No thanks.

Update from June 2021: Tried to give the app a second chance. Invasive privacy policy is still in place. Unlike my previous attempt, this time the app found my Onkyo receiver and was able to stream standard audio (no different or better than AirPlay 2), but when I tried to setup the app for hi-res and surround, the app claimed it couldn’t find the wired speakers connected to the Onkyo receiver and trying to use the automated setup wizard in the app was futile because the automated wizard only works with a single Onkyo receiver (not the one I have) and insists I consult the receiver’s manual for detailed instructions — and the receiver manual doesn’t provide any instructions for setting up the app beyond installing it, linking the app with my streaming services, and selecting Play-Fi as the streaming connection from my phone to the receiver.

So…I don’t really understand the point of this app if it just duplicates AirPlay 2 features and adds nothing. And I don’t understand why the Onkyo receiver includes the Play-Fi capability if it’s not able to support the hi-res or surround playback functions touted as the app’s features.

Deleted the app a second time.

Eigentlich simple, aber z T nicht stabil...

Lose connection

This thing works for about 10 mins then all of a sudden it loses connection and starts searching for connection. It does it over and over. My receiver is plugged directly into my Ethernet switch and my phone never loses connection so it’s obviously this app that’s the problem. If I use this for a party it would really embarrass me.

Needs to detect location

I am in Canada and have Amazon Canada prime music but this app takes me to Amazon US to log in, where I do not have access to prime music. It is useful however for connecting to my music on my PC.
