Not upgraded for iOS upgrades

Not able to use it and other Onkyo apps do not support my tx-nr414. My tx-nr575 works fine with supported Onkyo controller app.

Update

Please update this app to work with the new iOS and I will give 5 stars.

Update to iOS 11

I have just downloaded the iOS 12 update. Before I continue using this app the developer needs to update the app itself. Please take care of this.

Cannot he used with ios 11

App need to be updated, will not work with ios 11.
Awesome app with the receiver if it’ll work.

Needs to be updated

When will this be updated so it will work with the latest update?!

Updating app for ios 11.1 or later

I cannot use my iPhone app because it has no been updated to be used with the current ios 11.1 !!!! When it be uddated?

An update??

When should Onkyo users expect an update to this remote app? It’s been two years since the last one and now it isn’t compatible with iOS 11.

Needs update!

I can’t use this app at all now and can’t fully use my sound system without it!

Horrible bugs

Got it to connect but as soon as I make a change or play music it shuts off… I would not buy another Onyko. Any app developer who has half a brain could get this to work… Shows they don't have what it takes to keep up with technology

Keeps crashing!

App is good when it works but it crashes all the time! I would expect much better from Onkyo.

Help

App works overall but it does not remember my settings. When I back out of the app and go back in it's as if I never changed a setting. Other than that it's great for me.

Useless as a remote most of the time

After updating my receiver hardware, making sure the latest firmware is installed, giving the receiver a static IP, hard-wiring it to the network, I've decided Onkyo just makes a terrible network-connected receiver and/or app. Most of the time the app can't locate the receiver. It seems it has to be unplugged and plugged back in to come back. If this is poor app programming or poor firmware / status monitoring on the receiver side I don't know.

Great app

I'm happy to announce that this app is a money saver since my Onkyo remote volume control stop working now I have full control via my iPhone and other than that my home theater system functions well true this app highly recommend not sure what happened to the person with the negative review.

Used to work fine

Used to work great for quite some time but no longer the case. Doesn't work at all now. Please fix.

Great! Better than 3

Connects faster than 3 which is odd. Also maintains a more stable connection. Highly recommended.

Doesn't work

This app has been driving me crazy for months. It has never worked even once, and there is no information on how to GET it to work. No help button; nothing online, etc.

Terrible!!!!

Just got my patio sound installed and the app seemed to be a really good solution to control my music from outdoor;... Well it turned out to be useless because keeps crashing every time I open. I have re-installed the app around 7 times with the same outcome, even reset my phone and still the same... Very frustrating!

Onkyo team, if you care about your customers, the do something!!!!! And BTW the remote 3 app is even worse than the version 2; spotify menu has no options.... Really bad. I am thinking on returning the receiver just because of this app.

Total Junk App

Onkyo Product Managers...this is the worst App I've ever used, keeps crashing, shutting down, causing my brand new receiver to freeze up. I've tried restarting my iPhone 6, reinstalling the App, unplugging the receiver and plugging it back in. How can you put out a technology product like this??? Also, even when the App is not crashing, you can't make any adjustments to any of the speakers other than the very basic Trebble/Bass/Center. If I'm watching a movie, I have disrupt the movie to get into the OSD just to turn up one of the Surround Speakers. I'm boxing up my Onkyo TX-NR636 right now and it's going back to Best Buy just out of principle!!!
