Deremote For Denon And Marantz App Reviews

This app wouldn’t connect either via auto connect or manual connect by inputting the IP address to my AVR4400

Rock solid, comprehensive, endlessly configurable, and won't slurp up your battery. Entirely trouble-free after years of use with my Denon AVR-4310CI.

This app needs an update.

Easy set up. Found my 3808ci on my network and auto configured it. Flawless setup!

I was a little leary buying this as I wasn't completely sure it would work with my McIntosh MX121 preamp / processor but since McIntosh doesn't have any proprietary app to control devices it was worth a shot. However, much to my surprise it easily found my gear and works perfectly! It is truly so much better than using the physical remote as it gives direct control over many features that are otherwise buried in several layers of onscreen menus. Love the layout that allows multiple boxes or areas for different designated controls...all of which can be customized to your liking. There are obviously a few features of the app that are not applicable to my specific equipment but most everything works spot on. If in doubt and you want great app control....DO IT! Time will tell on updates and support from the developer....fingers crossed.

App was updated and now it doesn’t support Bluetooth. Seriously!

No substantial updates to keep up with iOS or receiver connectivity. I've tried it with multiple marantz receivers and it's just slow and a clunky app to begin with. Just use the free app that marantz offers.

If you’re tired of waiting for a connection to your AV receiver or wishing the app would work the way it is supposed to, then this is well worth your time and the price.

Had trouble at first but responsive email support was extremely helpful. Love the app!

Not worth $5. The developer isn't a great designer, and the visual appearance and navigation are both ugly and confusing. It works, though.

I just got This app and works so far. I was using free remote app prior this and had lots of problems with it. This app lets me adjust sound settings with ease comparing to av receiver using remote since display menu on tv doesn’t work on my receiver. However, some setting I cannot access using this app I have to use my remote to control audio EQ levels for each of my speakers to change sound quality. I like the fact it lets u create a list of settings u would like to have easier access to.

Bought and paid for and it does not work. Marantz sr5008 Refund my payment.

Every one of the settings, including channel volumes for each speaker, are just a button push or two away. It also allows for instant access to all of your favorite Internet radio stations. Beats wading through the receiver menu, trying to find what you are looking for. Buy now, its definitely worth the $5!

I rarely write reviews but after using this app for just a day I am so impressed that it was necessary. The design works like a user thinks (not like some apps where they make us change to how the developer thinks we should work). It's dead simple to use. Does all the configuration automagically. Within a few seconds of it discovering your receiver you are up an running. I SOOOO wish this author woudl write an app to control my NUVO Grand Concerto multizone controller!!!!

Works well

Much better controls. I did notice with the IOS 11.3.1 update the app is now glitchy. It doesn’t recognize the input mode and defaults to DVD. Volume control doesn’t work. This is due to the IOS update I believe as the app worked perfectly before. Hoping the next app update fixes that. 1 star taken until the fix is issued.

So, while it can control some additional audio settings further than the free Denon app, it does not give you the ability to control Pandora at all. You can select it as a input source, but this app provides no function to pause, skip forward, like or dislike songs or change to a different Pandora channel. I use Pandora a ton on the deck and use my phone to control 'zone 2' function. Is this manner, this app is inferior to the denon app.

Hard to use. I left my free app and paid to get this one based on the reviews. Too many screens, not streamlined, and couldn’t get it to work. I uninstalled immediately and went back to my old app. Big disappointment, sorry I spent the money, and I rarely buy apps.

App attempts to be all things to all Marantz and Denon AVRs, choking the interface with features your system may or may not have. Requires extensive setup time, and no refund if it fails to talk to your AVR. A $5 dice roll at best.

This is the first app that I actually left a review for without being pestered by the designers to do so. This works amazing. I love that it connects to my older AVR-4308ci. I say that, yet I paid $2500 for this receiver 10 years ago and it is simply amazing piece of equipment and I’m just not willing to drop that kind of money on a new one yet since this works perfectly. Yet it does not have some of the newest features. First problem was that I have my media center hidden away with a whole house structured media box. The IR Remotes that came with my receiver would not work and I couldn’t find a IR repeater locally. The new Denon app would not work but with this one I can control everything with my phone as I stream music from that same phone to BT adapter. Simple amazing. Thank you so much. Worth every penny!

The Denon app is trash. I am so glad I found this one. It's great

I'm 62. I've seen things. I remember Windows 1.1. I've been around computers continuously since the days of punch cards. Literally. This app is the absolute best designed I've ever encountered. At first blush it looks complicated, but spend a bit of time with it and you'll come to appreciate how beautifully simple it is. And all the features of your Denon receiver that were heretofore obscured by an abysmal interface are now logically presented before your very eyes. Change anything you want. It's all there. I have multiple Denon receivers throughout my house. This app recognizes all of them. I can manipulate any of them whenever I need to in any way that suits my fancy. The best for last, the holy grail of an audio system: simple, independent control of the four corners of your room. Sure, you can do this from the firmware built into the receiver, but it's incredibly cumbersome. This app lays it all out before your eyes, as stacked bars representing the channels with sliders for adjusting levels. Well done, I say!

I don’t understand why there is no pause or mute feature for the volume control. It won’t recognize my IOS music library. I’ve created a favorites list using Denon’s HEOS app and this app won’t recognize that either. This app won’t recognize anything internet related, touching the internet icons does nothing.

Let me start by saying that even the Marantz apps did not work for my receiver. I was very skeptical but was elated to find that it works far better than I hoped. Very high utility and it's also beautiful. Thanks very much.

Needs update. Works ok but can do better. Thanks

I've been using the Denon remote app (sparingly) for several years, mainly because my receiver is behind a cabinet door and the regular infrared remote won't work when the door is closed. But the Denon app was lousy - took forever to load and often took 2-3 tries to find my receiver. Finally, I couldn't get it to load at all. I deleted it from my phone and was going to re-install when I came across this app. After reading the generally favorable reviews I decided to shell out the $5 - and am very glad I did. Initial install was quick and painless - in less than 2 min. it found my receiver and was good to go. Since then it opens up instantly and is very responsive. It deals effectively with my two-zone system. I'll have no problem using this instead of the regular remote and will now be able to keep the cabinet door closed. That should make my wife happy. Maybe she'll be nicer to me.

I have been using this app for several years across several iOS Devices and use it every day to control my AirPlay compatible Denon AVR-1912. Works flawlessly and so much better than official Denon app. Don't know what I would do without it. Love DeRemote! 🙏🏽

The DeRemote works perfectly with my Marantz AV7704, which is a tremendous relief given the nonfunctional nature of the Marantz App. It also works with my Denon 5200, which is a few years older. I highly recommend this app if you own a Denon or Marantz receiver or separate, as its stable and fills the need left from the nonfunctional Marantz and Denon 2016 apps.

Keeps looping on credentials. Even reset pandora password. Still doesn’t work.

The app can’t even find my receiver. Total waste of money.

I have had this app for a couple of years. Works great!

If you use anything that requires authentication (Pandora, Sirius, etc.) forget it! I spent hours trying to figure out how to enter my account information. It keeps telling me to “follow the onscreen menu,” well the onscreen menu shows nothing but the navigation buttons and “menu on” and “menu off” buttons, which by the way, do absolutely nothing. Sometimes I do get a prompt for an email address after switching inputs to Sirius, but the keyboard function to enter the email doesn’t work. By the way, I have worked in IT for 20 years, so I’m no stranger to technology. This stuff isn’t rocket science. As bad as the free Marantz app is, at least it worked with Sirius and Pandora.

Really amazing and complete control of my SR5007. I can even adjust the channel volume on my Dolby sound on the fly. Thank you.

App design is by no means groundbreaking but it is functional. Does what it is supposed to do. My problem is that each family member has to buy their own. Even with apple family sharing - it asks money from each member. Big negative..

The free marantz app is nice for getting through most of the basic settings ie: volume, zone 2 source select, surround sound, radio, Sirius sat ect... This app can do just about everything that you do with the remote and going online to the IP address of the radio... I love it and use it over the original... It may not be as simple as the original because it has more functions on it.. This is a great purchase to compliment the marantz... I'm using the marantz sr6008.

One ask, please add functionality so iPhone volume buttons control receiver volume if possible. Also allow this while app runs in background. Thank you.

Can't used with my Denon

Please update or give me back my money

I had a problem with my original remote and downloaded it to try to use as replacement. The connection is slowly and not always working at all. Too expensive for this kind of a trial...

Marantz should be ashamed that a third party created an app that is light years better than their own app. Buy this if you have a Marantz receiver!

I have a Denon x4400h. This app offers no improvement over the free app. Yes it will raise and lower the volume but that’s about all I could do. Couldn’t select or switch zone input sources. Seems like it can’t really connect to the Denon.

Only download this if you like seeing a message, “trying to connect to denon or marantz receiver”.

I have multiple Marantz receivers. This app controls all of them. Brilliant

This is a decent app, but needs to give thumbs up/down feedback control for Pandora. The only reason I bought this app is because the Denon app mysteriously stopped working. If I can get Denon app to function again, I will use it instead of this app.

Can not get this app to connect to my AV unit. Complete junk.

This app leaves a lot to be desired, I failed to notice that it hasn't been updated since 2015 when I purchased it in 2017. The app is not up to date for modern phone displays (massive font and waste of screen space). It also is sssslllooowwww. It takes forever to get it to actually connect to your receiver so you can do anything with it, it doesn't save anytime as it is faster for me to walk across the room and get my Denon remote out of the cabinet to adjust those seldom used buttons that I don't have programmed into my universal remote. In general this app is a complete waste of money, it is overpriced for what it does when the Denon app that is free is faster and offers most of the same things...and doesn't offer features that don't actually exist on your AVR.

Spins and spins doesn't connect to Marantz SR 7008, guess the download fee didn't pay off.

I happened across this app while reading the bad reviews for the stock Denon app. This app is much more responsive, customizable and feature laden than the stock app. So far it has been working very well with my AVR-X1300W.
