Ratings and reviews

Had to completely re-set up the wireless connection to get it to connect again, but it now always connects quickly. I wish it had more abilities to control the receiver (like, for instance, going into the settings menu), but being able to quickly make volume level or center/sub level adjustments is 95% of what I need to do.

I've pretty much enjoyed this app over the years and have become acquainted with a bug or two that I can work around. For some reason this update has at least two bugs I can't get around without killing the app itself. The two bugs do seem somewhat related however. Every once and awhile the volume wheel does not respond and then the app freezes and that's when I have to force the app to close and then start over.

Despite the negative reviews from users, this app works exactly as advertised. The real problem lies with the receivers or amps it is controlling. I discovered that the most expeditious way to get the app back to functionality was to unplug the receiver. Apparently, when the receiver is in standby, it's not resetting whatever buffer is used to play music from internet, network, or bluetooth sources. Only a hard shutdown will do the trick. Some food for thought.
