### 2/5 — Need Updating for iOS 11

*2017-10-16*

I lost use of this app after upgrading to iOS 11 as its not compiled as a 64-bit app. 

Oppo, please re-release as iOS 11 compatible!!!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2016-12-08, version 2.0.0*

The only other review reports connection issues... I had no problem connecting.

Nice simple layout, replicates the look and operation of the original remote (split across 3 screens).

### 3/5 — Needs some more work

*2015-02-07, version 2.0.0*

This unit needs some work on the CEC control, I have noticed that the TV will turn on when I turn on my oppo player, but when I turn the oppo player off, the TV goes back to free to air. I would like it if when I turned the oppo player off, my TV turned off as well.
Noticed that this device cannot seem to pickup on my smb movie server, yet seems to see a range of other devices on my network, please fix in next firmware update.
Had the app crash more than once when trying to connect to the oppo player. Seemed to have sorted some of this issue out by turning off power saving mode, so the player still pings on the network.

### 3/5 — Needs keyboard support to be perfect

*2014-10-04*

Excellent overall user interface! It only needs touch keyboard support to complete the experience.

### 1/5 — Bugs with network search

*2014-08-23*

The old remote worked great I could sit in bed and look through my computer network so I could stream stuff. Now the network search just freezes up the whole player!! I wish apple or oppo would allow me to downgrade to the old app which worked great. I updated the firmware on the player as well.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-08-16, version 2.0.0*

Won't connect with BDP-93 although it finds it correctly. Useless.

### 3/5 — Needs landscape version!

*2014-08-05, version 2.0.0*

I have an iPad mount in my home theatre - this remote would be fine if it wasn't sideways!

### 1/5 — Needs keyboard input

*2014-07-25*

Who wants to type everything out in Netflix?

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2014-06-20, version 2.0.0*

Thus version of the App has problems connecting to the player, the remote can see the player but attempting to connect isn't successful - then it crashes.

### 2/5 — Not working

*2014-06-20*

I just updated and it already has bugs !!  It pretty much doesn't work 
2 stars cause the new look is pretty cool ! But yea it doesn't work ..

### 4/5 — Media App is better

*2014-05-26, version 1.1*

I wish people would learn that when they update the device or app, if you just delete the app and reinstall, most problems go away (just like mine did).  But that said, the app works fine but the media app is much better with more features. The media app is newer, as I only got it because the media app was iPad only at the time.  Now I've deleted and installed the media app on all of my iOS devices.

### 4/5 — Works for me

*2014-05-08, version 1.1*

This app works, and with a remote that weighs so much for some reason, this is a little better, I've only had the 103D for a short time, so its simpler than the supplied remote.

### 1/5 — Avoid this version

*2014-04-26, version 1.1*

Just doesn't work at all. Unkwon Error all the time including the spelling mistake.

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2024-12-15*

Couldn’t find my 105

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2018-11-19*

I updated the firmware as instructed, but it can’t find my DBP-105 either automatically or manually. Boo.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK!!!

*2018-09-26*

I guess now that OPPO has stopped making players not supporting them is next. This app will not connect to 203 player. Informs me that players firmware is out of date.

### 1/5 — Failed to connect three times.

*2018-05-27*

Oppo UDP 203 has current firmware per player setup.  iPhone app doesn’t find player and when entering IP address, app says firmware is not up to date and returns to search screen.  Deleted app and reinstalled 3 times.

### 1/5 — Not compatible with iOS 11

*2017-10-01*

Can’t be more than 1 star until that changes.

### 1/5 — Not iOS 11 compatible!

*2017-10-01*

For the amount of money oppo charges for their hardware, you would think they keep their apps up to date.

### 1/5 — plz.. update the app for iOS 11

*2017-09-20, version 2.0.0*

Please update the app for iOS11

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2016-11-21*

Purchased -95 unit about5 years ago after rave reviews, in the last 3 years this unit has sat next to my vcr and has gotten as much use. I had constant freezing and buggy remote issues, no firmware help either. Figured this app would with remote issues...nope it's the crappy unit. You don't need the app because you shouldn't buy an Oppo. Save your $$ and get a cheaper model with good reviews, lesson learned.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with Time Capsule

*2016-04-11*

Very unstable...bummed.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2014-11-12*

Does not work. Does not power on the unit.

### 5/5 — Bought a used BDP-103 with no remote

*2020-10-11*

I connected the oppo to my network via ethernet. This app worked perfectly during setup. I updated the firmware to the oppo and set up my input preferences. I’ve been using the app for about two weeks without any issues. 

I can’t compare it with the oe physical remote, but I can’t imagine that the physical remote has any advantages over the app. 

My only concern is that oppo is no longer in the universal player business. I hope this app remains available indefinitely!

### 5/5 — Thanks for adding 64-bit support

*2017-11-16*

Now I can continue to use this app in iOS 11.

### 5/5 — Updated review to 5 stars

*2015-03-04*

The app developers added standby network enable so now I can use the remote app exclusively.  I had docked them previously because I had to use the remote that came with the system to turn the player on before being able to use the app.

It's all good!

### 5/5 — A company with 5 star support

*2014-08-13*

I was jazzed to see oppo had an app, but bummed out I had the older bpd 95.  It's an amazing sounding CD player.  Then, I now find they have support for my last gen gear!   Thanks Oppo!   Not only is your gear great but you take care of customers.  
It might have a bug still but I only just got a cheap display and had one hang on pandora.   After reboot it works fine.

### 5/5 — Much better

*2014-06-22*

This version is way better than the previous one. Selecting which part of the remote to use is the best improvement. I haven't used the gesture mode much it to give it a fair judgement but it also seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. Nice job, Oppo!

### 5/5 — Does What it's Supposed to do

*2014-06-20*

I have all of my AV equipment in a closet in a separate room so the I can't use the standard Oppo remote since it's not RF. All of my equipment is connected through a network and this app has worked flawlessly so far! It's just like using the remote that came with my BDP-105. Well done Oppo, as usual!

### 5/5 — Why?

*2014-05-04, version 1.1*

I agree with the previous reviewer in asking why a a company that built a $1000-plus-plays-anything-with-decoders-on-steroids multimedia player created an app that can't turn the unit on?  The only benefit to the app is that it's wifi so if your listening to a zone in your home away from IR LOS, you can change the music a bit.  I'd also add that the UI is nearly incomprehensible.  It's saving grace is that it can also replicate the actual remote.  That part they got right.  So if you just like to play with apps on your IOS product and don't mind the fact that your body is part of the app's functionality, go for it!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2014-03-24, version 1.1*

Works even better than the physical remote because it's wifi!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2013-10-27, version 1.0.2*

Excellent App, Does everything that the physical remote does. Works with my 105 perfectly

### 5/5 — Oppo

*2013-03-09, version 1.0.2*

I use it with my 103 and it works great! I love the app but I do wish I had purchased the 105 instead haha.
