Ratings and reviews

There are not enough superlatives to describe this fantastic app! Like all the other reviewers, I gave up on the horrible Onkyo apps years ago! The only issue I find is if you have the app installed on two devices (tablet and cell phone) and it is running on the first device, it will crash if the second device tries to access the receiver. Not a deal breaker, simple power cycle the receiver and limit use to one device! Thank-you Mikhail for writing this app! I no longer have to return inside when listening to zone two on my patio to change Pandora settings or turning down the volume when the wife complains!

I love the slick interface. I prefer it over the stock Integra remote app. Though I have a DTR-70.4 and I can't control all 4 zones; only the main zone shows up in the side menu and is selectable. Also, I can't access Pandora, Spotify, or my home network hard drive. Not sure if these are bugs or if I'm missing a setting.

Can i donate to you? This is the best app to control an Onkyo reciever. In the Onkyo remote and app, if you want to change the output type(Direct, Stereo, Dolby surround etc etc) you'd have to cycle through all the options. That's 10+ options. And if you accidentally skip over the desired you'd have do the entire thing again. This app gives you the list of all the possible output types and you just click to chose. Makes life so much easier. 10 stars
