It’s time for an update. *2024-11-06, version 1.5.0* My review for the receiver itself is an unflappable 4 stars. This app works and so I won’t give it a *bad* review. I can’t fault developers for sticking with a system that works. That said, I would appreciate even just a bit of work to bring this app to modernity. There was a period of time where the app didn’t work at all, and I came to this page to see if maybe there was an update. I guess it was a transient network issue on my end, as it works exactly as it did before. Some lowball QOL improvement would be speeding up some aesthetic transitions and refreshing the graphics. This alone would push the app from being something that “works” to being something perhaps a bit industrial yet minimal and lean. ### 1/5 — NULLISSIME *2024-08-04, version 1.5.0* Depuis cette mise à jour faites il y a 3 ans "remote3" n'a jamais pu fonctionner sur ma mini chaîne CR-N765 contrairement à la version2, l'application cherche et ne trouve jamais ma CR. Et au vu des commentaires très négatifs concernant cette maj Onkyo étonnant que cette société ne s'en soit jamais soucié . Pour la notation par étoile il y aurait eu une étoile 0 je l'aurai mise sans regrets. ### 1/5 — Just don’t buy a onkyo *2024-07-23, version 1.5.0* This app is the biggest piece of garbage out there. The app support is the single biggest reason not to get their hundreds if not thousands of dollar receiver systems. They know this app is terrible. They’ve refused to fix or update it. Your receiver has a half-life because of the software used to interface with it ### 1/5 — Of all the aps I hate…. *2024-04-14, version 1.5.0* Of all the apps, I hate, I hate this one the worst. It is the slowest to load it’s absolutely garbage. I can’t wait to replace this Onkyo receiver with something else ### 1/5 — No funciona *2024-03-29, version 1.5.0* No sirve ### 1/5 — Nope *2024-01-01, version 1.5.0* It just never works ### 2/5 — Ne fonctionne plus *2023-12-20, version 1.5.0* :( ### 1/5 — Worked until iOS16 upgrsde *2023-10-18, version 1.5.0* That’s it. After upgrading, Remote3 stopped connecting with my TX-NR717. I suspect UDP blockage, but I won’t swear to it. App goes to Searching screen and I can’t get away from that screen to check settings. I am very disappointed after years of satisfaction with this app. I have little hope that it will be fixed after this long not working. Bummer. ### 1/5 — How can the app be this bad? *2023-07-08, version 1.5.0* My iPad is connected to the R695 by Bluetooth and can play music through the main and zone 2 speakers. My browser connects to the R695 by entering the IP address. Even so, the Onkyo app just sits there looking dumb and saying it can’t find the hardware. A remarkably bad piece of rubbish. ### 2/5 — Great when it works. *2023-04-12, version 1.5.0* It will work perfectly, allowing me to control my zone 2 outdoor music, for a few weeks. Then suddenly it stops connecting to the receiver. I’ll go through every possible solution and nothing works. Then all of the sudden. It starts connecting again. Frustrating to say the least. ### 1/5 — Hmmm *2023-03-09, version 1.5.0* I doesn’t work any more!!! Can’t connect to bluetooth😩 ### 1/5 — So disappointing *2023-03-05, version 1.5.0* I’ve had my onkyo for about 7 years. The remote worked for a few years but now it’s hit or miss. Mostly miss. Very disappointing that the remote rarely connects to the unit so it’s unusable. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2023-02-14, version 1.5.0* I have to say this app has worked absolutely beautiful for me. Easy to use and intuitive. A lot easier to use than the A/V original remote. And I’ve never had a problem with the app finding and/or connecting to the A/V Receiver or WiFi network. I gave the app 4 stars (instead of 5) because there is no option to listen to the audio via Bluetooth headphones, an option that available in other similar apps. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iOS 16.2 iPhone 11 Pro Max *2023-01-17, version 1.5.0* Won’t find the receiver. An older iPhone works. Please update the app? Thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad, Useless *2026-04-12, version 1.5.0* Don’t bother, after many years of no using decided to reinstall, since perhaps original issues resolved, but no, still useless app, still continues to have the ‘Searching for device’ message. For reference have a TX-NR636, so they have had enough time to work on it 😒 ### 1/5 — Needs updating *2026-03-16, version 1.5.0* Local network access is not working when using a VPN. Switch the VPN off and it works. App has not been updated in years. Another paid app called music control works perfectly ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-01-01, version 1.5.0* Always losing connection, Poor menu layout. No updates ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-04-19, version 1.5.0* Horrible just horrible! Do we have any updates???? ### 1/5 — Non si collega mai con iPhone 16 *2025-03-05, version 1.5.0* Grande dispiacere in quanto non funziona ### 1/5 — Update??? *2025-01-18, version 1.5.0* Terrible app, no equaliser, no update ### 1/5 — iOS18で繋がらなくなった *2024-12-11, version 1.5.0* iOS17では問題なく繋がっていたのに、アップデート後画面上に現れるのに接続ができない。 なんとかして欲しい。 ### 1/5 — Read VeloCalabeza’s review *2024-11-30, version 1.5.0* This app doesn’t work without the work around in his review. Still works in 2024. Thank you sir! ### 1/5 — Update NEEDED! Non functional *2024-11-30, version 1.5.0* It is obvious that Onkyo doesn’t care about this app anymore. It’s not functioning for many, but there is NO response from the manufacturer.! I may not use it everyday, but now I need to use it and it refuses to connect while I am able to log into the web setup from my Mac. ANY response would be greatly appreciated so that users can make an educated decision whether to stay with the company, or abandon the whole brand and move to something else. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with ios 18 *2024-11-18, version 1.5.0* Was working with ios 17.7. With ios 18 app is stuck in “demo mode” with no way to get out. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2026-04-28, version 1.5.0* 2026 April 28: This app is working perfectly for me, in controlling my Onkyo HT–RC360 Receiver from 2011 - using my iPhone 15 with an up to date OS. It controls volume, input changes, and most importantly - can alter treble and bass levels (and subwoofer levels) from my listening position. I have found no other remote that can do that. Invaluable. You can also enter into SETTINGS, and control all parameters, also from the listening position - which also allows control of local and Internet RADIO stations. I know there are negative reviews here, but please believe me that that those problems have been corrected. At least in my case. NOTE: This app works via Wi-Fi … and so it is imperative to use an Ethernet cable to interface your amp with the same router - the same NETWORK - as you use for your phone or tablet. ### 5/5 — Im so thankful this stuff still Works *2025-12-21, version 1.5.0* This app is literllary not supported on android anymore so THANK YOU ### 5/5 — Onkyo *2024-09-04, version 1.5.0* Bienvenido al mundo sin servicio técnico oficial ### 5/5 — Super Lösung *2023-01-25, version 1.5.0* Habe einen gebrauchten tx nr 636 ohne FB gekauft. Die app ist eine super Lösung und einfach zu verstehen ! Verbindung über wlan super einfach und leicht zu bedienen. Die App bietet alle Funktionen einer normalen FB. ### 5/5 — Good as gold *2022-01-22, version 1.5.0* Has worked flawlessly so far. Full of features and compatible with my old amp. If things change I will alter my rating ### 5/5 — リモコンフリーで便利！ *2021-03-24, version 1.5.0* 何も設定せずともLANケーブルを繋ぎアプリを起動するだけで自動で接続して呉れて、リモコン無しでコントロール出来る様になりとても便利で満足してます。 リモコンだとリモコンを向けねばなりませんが、アプリなら向きなど関係無く楽な姿勢で指示を出せる。 私はNR365と古い機種を使って居りますが、きちんと動作しましたので良かったです。 皆々様方AVアンプなど買う人ですからきっと拘りのお強い方々なのでしょうが、皆様評価が辛過ぎではないでしょうか。 私も本当はデザインの洗練性が稚拙なので星４にしようと思いましたが、便利さに比して評価が低過ぎるので、星５を付けさせて頂きます。 祈ONKYO繁栄 ### 5/5 — Fixed! *2021-02-12, version 1.5.0* I was one of those with an older receiver (TX-NR414 from 2012) who had given up all hope for functionality from this app over the last couple of years. Today, for some reason, I tried it again and it is working again. Some combination of a new iphone SE, newer iOS, and maybe some work on Onkyo’s part. Thanks. ### 5/5 — It’s been working fine till changed to iPhone 12 Pro *2021-01-04, version 1.5.0* The app unable to connect to the same unit (TX-NR545) I used to connect with my iPhone X but since moved to iPhone 12 Pro which has ISO 14.2.1 Has there been any upcoming update with app to support latest ISO Thanks ### 5/5 — Супер! *2020-12-21, version 1.5.0* Теперь действительно можно удобно слушать музыку из локалки или стримить с сервисов !!! Онкио фарева!!!))) ### 5/5 — Funktioniert Super mit TX-NR655 *2020-11-09, version 1.5.0* Einfache aber praktische Bedienung aller Funktionen. Bin sehr zufrieden. Läuft bei mir Problemlos aktuell unter iOS 14.2. (iPhone-7) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
