### 2/5 — Need a update

*2025-08-14*

Ever since you discontinue your 4K player I try open the app to use the remote but it always be crashing. At least update the firmware

### 4/5 — Works again

*2024-01-17*

With iOS 17.2.1 this now works again without crashing.  It only took a few years….  The only thing I’ve noticed is that using the volume toggle on the phone does not change the volume you have to manually use the slider with your finger.

### 2/5 — App won’t launch in new iOS update

*2023-09-30, version 1.1.2*

I primarily use the app as my remote, so this is unfortunate.

### 2/5 — Crash upon start-up

*2022-04-30, version 1.1.2*

Using an iPhone 13 Pro and iOS 15.4.1 the app crashes on start up.  Using the same iOS release on an iPad the app works.

Hopefully this is an iOS issue and fixed in the next release because I doubt this app will be updated.

### 2/5 — What is with this app?

*2021-11-16, version 1.1.2*

I’d love to know why this app works on an iPhone se but won’t open up on my iPhone  XR.

### 1/5 — Wow

*2021-01-30*

This should not even be called an app. It’s just a waste of time and a little storage space in the App Store, that comes with a small amount of free sadness and disappointment.

Updated the firmware on my udp205, downloaded and installed the app. Opened it up, started the process of finding the player - which appeared to work. For about 3 seconds. Then the app closed. Tried to open it, closed again. Uninstalled and reinstalled, same thing. Also restarted the player. Just a waste of time, and unfortunately lowered my opinion of Oppo a little. It’s unfortunate they don’t sell disc players anymore, but this seems like a mechanism for the company, or at least their app development person, to extend their middle finger to their (former) customers.

### 3/5 — Please update for ios14

*2020-12-25*

Love my Oppo players, and I was disappointed when the company opted to abandon these devices. But I really hope they will continue to support those of us who invested in their products. I routinely use my UDP 205 to play hi-Res music via USB. The iOS remote app has been a terrific tool for this without the need to use tv to select files (and avoid display burn-in). But as noted by others, the app crashes immediately upon opening with recent iOS updates.  Please, please consider updating the Oppo app to return functionality to our iPhones and iPads.

### 3/5 — Crashing App

*2020-11-29*

I have this app on my iPhone xsmax since I updated my software firmware to iOS 14.2, 
it crashes immediately upon opening the app, pls update the app please! It works like a charm before, if I only knew, I won’t update my iOS software. Thanks

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2020-11-09, version 1.1.2*

Immediately crashes since the update to iOS 14

### 1/5 — Won’t work with iOS 14.0.1

*2020-10-15, version 1.1.2*

Bought an iPhone se 2020 and now the app keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Update now

*2020-10-01, version 1.1.2*

Just because you don’t make the player any more doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep the app updated

### 4/5 — Oppo 203 and audiolab 6000a

*2020-09-17, version 1.1.2*

Had problems at first but now my iPhone works well with oppo 203. I use 203 as digital transport and play through audiolab 6000a analog/digital connections depending on mood. Sounds very good and better than BT on audiolab. One of minor issue, occasionally tracks skip. I use USB with flac files too and app is great having flexibility of iTunes and other files.

### 3/5 — Oppo UDP 205.

*2019-12-19*

The available features work well enough but could be better. Returning to a previous screen works sometimes but not always.  Very iffy.  Would like to see access to all of the input options so they can be selected without having to turn the tv on.  A drop down similar to the one that displays on the tv would be a great new feature.

### 3/5 — Gapless play from remote app

*2019-10-21, version 1.1.2*

How do you start gapless playback using the remote app without a display active?

### 1/5 — Crashes!!

*2019-10-10, version 1.1.2*

You need to work quickly with this app because it closes itself unexpectedly or immediately after starting a track. Beyond frustrating, disappointing...

### 1/5 — Was good

*2019-10-04, version 1.1.2*

But not with IOS 13.1.2 on iPhone Xs 
OK with 13.1.2 on iPad Air 2 though

### 2/5 — Streaming

*2019-04-06, version 1.1.2*

Can’t get this app to stream music through the system..!!

### 1/5 — garbage

*2019-03-25, version 1.1.2*

garbage !

### 2/5 — Good, sometimes

*2018-08-23*

When this thing works, it’s great. Unfortunately it doesn’t work most of the time. Which is too bad because it’s super helpful if you are in Direct mode for analog.

### 1/5 — Crashed every time

*2025-06-11*

Unable to load 9/10 times and when it does load it crashes when I try to connect to my Oppo 203.

### 1/5 — Still crashes on it’s own

*2024-09-23, version 1.1.2*

Open the app and it will crash on it’s own, whether you select an action or not. Also will not even open the settings page for the player while it is open. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Crash, Crash, Crash ...

*2022-10-15, version 1.1.2*

Another Update 10/15/22: Was working until now. Crashes on opening in iOS 16. DOA. And Oppo no longer supports their excellent players anyway, so it’s coming off my phone. 

Update 5/28/17: working better now, seems my player was the culprit for most (not all) of the crashes. However, this app is a memory pig. I just discovered that it gobbled 16 gigabytes!! Original zero star review: Cannot get the app to run for more than a few seconds. Pity, as it appears to have potential. But like all of Oppo's software and firmware, it was obviously released without adequate testing and QA.

### 1/5 — Hey Oppo - years of loyalty = zero to you??

*2022-05-29, version 1.1.2*

Please update your unusable app, for a product less than 5 years off market. All we need is for it actually run on the latest OS. You promised us this.

### 1/5 — IOS still crashes

*2022-05-10, version 1.1.2*

App still crashing on IOS iPhone 6s Plus . Terrible!

### 1/5 — Please update

*2022-03-30*

Always on dark mode I want but always bright mode I get. Also, it always seems to restart. Just stay on at least for an hour.  Everything I own is totally up-to-date, except for this app. 😬

### 1/5 — Crashes with latest ios

*2022-03-28*

It would've been nice if Oppo Digital had given us UDP 205 owners a heads up that they weren't going to update the app any longer. We could’ve  chosen to stick with an earlier ios. Well, it’s way too late for that, but I have written their customer support, beseeching them to consider updating the app at least one more time. I would even go so far as to leave one of my devices at the workable ios and make it a dedicated 205 controller if that was done. For 3rd party developers, heres a niche you could fill: I would gladly pay for an app that fills the need.

### 1/5 — App will not run

*2022-03-05, version 1.1.2*

As much as I like the oppo 205 disc player, it’s quite frustrating that the app doesn’t work. It crashes immediately and, imo, shouldn’t be included in the App Store.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-11-05, version 1.1.2*

I upgraded my iPhone and the app stopped working. Before the upgrade it would work flawless.

### 1/5 — Not working!!

*2021-04-22, version 1.1.2*

I hope oppo can fix this app.
This app is great for streaming when it works it gives you a lot of control over the player. 

Please, please fix it.

### 5/5 — Please update this app!!

*2022-07-13, version 1.1.2*

Please pretty please!!

### 5/5 — Works Great with iTunes.

*2018-06-29*

Just Streamed using iTunes on UDP205 with this app. Everything worked just fine.

### 5/5 — Mixed results

*2018-04-26*

The app recognized a USB drive (Sandisk Extreme 900) plugged into a rear port on my OPPO UDP-205, but then as it tried to scan the drive, the app crashed. I tried again with the drive plugged into the front port, and it worked fine. I tried it again in a rear port, and now it has no problem. So I’m revising my review to 5 stars, since the app does everything I want it to with great graphics, and the app/UDP-205 combo responds instantly to screen taps.

### 5/5 — Works as designed

*2017-08-31*

As of this version, works as designed and as needed.

### 5/5 — OPPO-UPD-203

*2017-07-25, version 1.0.2*

Love it ,very intuitive

### 5/5 — A Wonderfull Product

*2017-06-22*

Simple app allows me to play music, Can't wait for Tidal support.

### 5/5 — Five Stars

*2017-06-20*

Glad I typed it in the App Store search field. easy to use. Thank You.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2017-06-19, version 1.0.2*

Best Way to Control OPPO Blu-ray with a iPad.

### 5/5 — highly recommend updated

*2017-06-19, version 1.0.2*

it has great improvement with the version, nearly have not met the crash issues now. couldn't be more pleased!

### 5/5 — Works exactly as advertised

*2017-06-05, version 1.0.1*

I'm very happy with using this app as a second remote control. Never experienced any problems to report here. 
Only a minor complaint, the app has to refresh the screen after you left the app "unattended" and coming back to it. Seems like no background app refresh support at this time, but it's a minor caveat.
