Disfunctional
Poor UI / UX. Looks and feels very amateur. After updating app I am unable to select different sources for different rooms. The entire Russound system has been flakey since it was installed 5 years ago. I suggest Russound spend some $ on a new app. Hire pros with designers.
7 years with this app and still problems connecting
This is the most unreliable app I’ve ever used. Very frustrating to not be able to use a 10k sound system due to this app as the only way to access the system. Always getting error message that it can’t access the device even minutes after accessing it and still open on my iPhone grrrr
Can’t find connected devices…again and again and again…
Constantly not finding receiver. Been dealing with this issue for years and multiple apps.
Better, but still built in a misconception
This version of the app is much better than previous iterations, however, it’s still suffers from the same core issue:
The belief that this app will provide the canonical experience that people will want to control their music with.
I get it. It’s hard to spend all the money and take all the time to build an app, all the while knowing that it would best be served by fading invisibly into the background. Thus the temptation to foster the belief that just maybe it can be the app that people will want to use to control their music.
Unfortunately, that title will always belong to the apps of which the music is sourced. Anytime we are away from our system at home, these are the apps will be using the whole time. In our cars m, out and about, etc.
At the very least, you need to allow the volumes in those apps control the Russound volume. Apple has built in API’s to do just that. However, either the developers of this app don’t know about them, or they choose to not include them. This is a major miss, and a major inconvenience.

Very disappointed with this app and Russound. I have tried multiple times a day for weeks to use my music system and it hasn’t connected once.
