Ratings and reviews

What a disappointment. App works only some of the time. When it does, it may as well not. Good for controlling volume...when it works. Otherwise it's clunky and non-intuitive. I bought the Kenwood stereo specifically because the company advertised this app as a "remote control". Shameful that a recognized name as Kenwood would put this out as a finished product!

I don't normally give reviews, but this app needs to be improved. My issues: 1-continually having to reset connection on radio or having to force stop the app for it to work. 2-While adjusting EQ, for no apparent reason, sometimes when I hit save all the frequencies jump to the highest setting, forcing me to start all over again; frustrating! If the app worked correctly, it would be good to have as it makes adjusting the EQ much more convenient. Kenwood, let's get this fixed.

Horrible. Would give zero stars if I could. Won't work with Android 10 (app says it's too new). Just crashes when you try and run it. Also won't connect with Android 7 (app says it's too old). Get with it Kenwood I just bought this stereo. The app hasn't been updated in over a year. If you advertise Android compatibility for your products, it doesn't take that long to develop/update an app.
