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.

The app does what it's supposed to, but the interface is awful. I can't imagine how this got past even the most rudimentary consumer testing. The low point among the bits I've used is the Tidal interface. No recently played section, no album art until you start something playing, no organization to albums (Studio, live, etc), no queueing. I typically have to find music using the Tidal app, then try to hunt it out in this. PLEASE design a real, usable interface!

UPDATED: After a LOT of playing about with network setting, I finally got this so working with my 8470. I changed the receivers network from my AC wireless network to my 5n wireless network and voila. Additionally, also reserved an IP for it and set the friendly name to something very simple, I mention the last two as they may/may not have impact. OLD: Simply never connects. Managed to get it to set Wi-Fi settings once, never found the device outside of that. Absolutely useless.
