It is compatible with the following central controllers made by HTD: Lync 6, Lync 12, MC-66, and MCA-66. Initial Connection: Automatic system detection with most Wi-Fi networks has you using the app for the first time in under a minute. In the rare event your router configuration blocks automatic detection of our gateway, the app includes a simple one-time process to connect manually. View and Control: The Home Audio app allows you to view and control all zones from a single system status page or drill down into each zone for more granular control. Control volume with both a scroll wheel and slide control. Mute and un-mute all zones with a single button press. Power off all zones with a single button press. Power on all zones to their previous state with a single button press. Power on all zones to a common source with party mode. Customize your zone names and source names for both the app and keypads. Set treble, bass, and balance for every zone. Hide zones and sources you don’t want to appear in the app. For Lync 6v3 and Lync 12v3, also easily hide sources from appearing on LyncPads and LyncTouch keypads on a per zone basis. Zone Groups: Create groups of zones to set a common source, set a common volume, or relatively control volume across multiple zones. Presets: Create audio scenes called presets that set up multiple zones in your home with a single button press. For every zone set power on/off, source, volume, and DND (Do Not Disturb, Lync only). App Shortcuts: Customize the app by adding shortcuts from a list of more than 40 popular music and audio apps, making it easy to toggle between the Home Audio app and your favorite audio service provider apps! Please note that a music streamer (not sold by HTD) that is compatible with your audio app(s) must be connected as one of your sources. To read more about music streamers please visit Lock custom settings on specific devices for use by kids and guests. Backup and Restore: Account profiles make it easy to set up one phone or tablet and then “backup” those settings to our secure cloud so that other phones and tablets can be quickly set up with the same settings by “restoring” this information. You can also save every device’s unique configuration to the cloud by backing up with a unique phone number for that device. Please note: The Home Audio app uses a new, more secure cloud backup system. Current users of the older HTD Lync or MC app will lose their profile data. Source names will be pulled from stored keypad names, but you will need to recreate groups and presets in this app. We apologize for this initial inconvenience, but it was necessary for us to create a more robust backup/restore feature. This app works in portrait mode on smaller screens and both portrait and landscape mode on larger screens. HTD whole-house audio systems are designed to work with virtually any audio device you connect as a source. As your audio sources change over time, your whole-house audio system will accommodate! Most users choose to connect at least one music streamer that is compatible with their favorite audio service(s). Read more at The GW-SL1 or WGW-SL1 gateway provided with your system is used to connect your mobile phone or tablet to your whole-house audio system over your existing WiFi network. These gateways are not music streamers. ## HTD Home Audio Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource116/v4/10/82/39/108239cb-f27a-bc20-ba7e-4fd2c8df5b1c/51c4a808-140c-4ec1-b0fd-1a7ffa917548_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_14_Pro_Max_-_2023-03-16_at_14.59.46.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource126/v4/e7/53/88/e7538808-e0d4-dc65-4611-80fa56895cd1/68a22f7a-5a1f-4e93-8dad-e3a7171e8849_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_14_Pro_Max_-_2023-03-16_at_14.57.50.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource116/v4/ce/77/61/ce7761b2-37c7-c330-3bc0-1a992824b181/4e8ea196-88f4-464c-a0cc-3c8fc02e6828_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_14_Pro_Max_-_2023-03-16_at_14.58.34.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource126/v4/a9/32/2e/a9322e1d-18d4-646a-c9f4-ad4fb99b566d/ee3cee1c-0253-4859-bea7-877e8d6fc318_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_14_Pro_Max_-_2023-03-16_at_15.01.22.png/1284x2778.png) ## HTD Home Audio Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 12 (50%) - 4 stars: 3 (13%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 4 (17%) - 1 stars: 5 (21%) ## HTD Home Audio Reviews in United States ### **--- "Sometimes great" When this app works it’s very good but as soon as someone else in the home wants to control it it does not connect. -- AngryTonyG, 2025-07-27 ### *---- "Unreliable" I have been struggling with this system for 10 years, because I invested in the amps and controller. When it works, it works well. However, the WiFi interface is incredibly unreliable and unpredictable. I can’t count the number of times that I have not been able to connect the system with a phone or iPad until I reinstall the program. Never seems to find the system on search. Really needs a major redesign. -- bobsterdoc, 2024-12-21 ### ***** "HTD for the win!" The more I use the app the more I love it. More than I love the app…I love the HTD system, and more than the HTD system is the support I’ve received from HTD. I have been on the phone with their technicians who have helped me solve complex audio challenges to someone new. From using my older TV audio out to my older soundbar to having multizone control, I’ve realized the HTD system is an amazing foundation for entertaining. Currently using a Lynx 6 and building out the zones. Paired with WiiM Ultra is a set and forget with music all day. Can’t recommend the app and HTD enough! -- HUUM 🫶🏻, 2024-10-17 ### ***** "New App Takes HTD Up a Notch" New app has been very easy to use and very intuitive. HTD did a great job with this upgrade. Also, overall HTD is a great company that has an incredible product. There equipment is only surpassed by their helpful employees. Would buy the same thing again. -- GBG196, 2024-07-05 ### ***** "Works perfectly" Not sure why others are so negative on this. Has worked flawlessly for over a year. Responds quickly and have not had any crashes. Lync 12 system and three amplifiers controlling everything. Streaming functions works great and have all my music on demand. I suspect that anyone who is having issues has no idea how to use their home router or how to manually configure things if needed. Best investment I’ve made in home audio over the years. Customer support is also great. HTD has been stellar on hardware and software support on the VERY FEW times I had questions. -- RobXLR8, 2024-05-05 ### *---- "Most clunky and troublesome app for the price" This app is probably developed back in the 1950s. It is clunky unfriendly and has so many bugs. I don’t understand how these guys can actually offer this app. The system keeps disappearing from the app, and you have to load the back up for it to work. It takes forever to connect to the system, and I have to often reboot the system in order to get connected. I had several calls with them, including the president of the company. They asked me to send them information which I did, but they never responded. This was close to a year ago and the problems persist. I paid close to $4000 for the 12 zone system. Very disappointed and annoyed with myself for spending this kind of money for this level of technology. -- psycfitness, 2024-03-04 ### **--- "Sluggish response" Previous app had no problem. This now takes several seconds to respond -- Garminisnogood, 2024-02-18 ### ***** "HTD" We have a 12 zone system and absolutely love it. Simple to use even better with the new app. -- K Kocurek, 2023-11-03 ### *---- "Total fail" Only located the system automatically on 1 of 10 tablets and phones necessitating manual installs which did ultimately work. Stick with original app for now. The folks make great audio but are no tech firm. -- jwep, 2023-10-13 ### ***** "Love the app. The support is even better." I had written a review about some issues I was having with the Home Audio app that seemed to only happen when using it with my iPhone. Short version pf the story was that I just couldn’t get the system to connect reliably. Hit and miss. And I was pretty frustrated thinking I had something that would never work correctly I was very wrong. When Brian Wines and Chris Ashmore of HTD heard I was having problems they jumped in. We did a LOT of trouble shooting and Chris (after a whole lot of testing of the app) zeroed in on the possibility that my router was causing the issue. On his recommendation, I swapped out my router for the EERO solution. Problem solved. I would NEVER have found the issue had these guys not stayed with it, run a battery of tests with me and got to the root of it. The outcome? Perfect! Zero issues with app (there really never were) since changing out to EERO, which is definitely a mesh system worth installing. The problem I had been bumping along with for months went away. As soon as I fired up the new mesh. These guys know technology, they know their product and they know customer service. They are the best. Period. I am more than happy to admit that when I posted a critical review I was dead wrong. And should have spent some time with these guys early on. Do yourselves a favor. Buy their stuff. You will not regret it. And by the way—-they are staying in touch to make sure that all is still good. You just can’t find service like this a lot of places. Thanks guys. -- AJ_Lonestar, 2023-04-05 [View all HTD Home Audio reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Apps Similar to HTD Home Audio - [Russound](https://apptail.io/app/russound-PEac/united-states) - [SVS](https://apptail.io/app/svs-xDFc/united-states) - [Onkyo Controller](https://apptail.io/app/onkyo-controller-Qyzd/united-states) - [Anthem Remote](https://apptail.io/app/anthem-remote-cESd/united-states) - [Onkyo Music Control App](https://apptail.io/app/onkyo-music-control-app-Ldge/united-states) - [Matrio Control](https://apptail.io/app/matrio-control-fqhe/united-states) - [Hi-Fly](https://apptail.io/app/hi-fly-jqhe/united-states) - [OSD Player](https://apptail.io/app/osd-player-nqhe/united-states) - [Integra Control Pro](https://apptail.io/app/integra-control-pro-pqhe/united-states) - [DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS Remote](https://apptail.io/app/directv-for-business-remote-IBzl/united-states) ## HTD Home Audio Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/canada) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/australia) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/azerbaijan) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/brazil) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/belarus) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/switzerland) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/colombia) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/czechia) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/germany) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/denmark) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/algeria) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/spain) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/finland) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/united-kingdom) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/india) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/italy) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/japan) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/south-korea) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/lebanon) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/mexico) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/malaysia) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/nigeria) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/netherlands) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/new-zealand) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/philippines) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/pakistan) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/poland) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/romania) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/russia) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/singapore) - [Slovakia](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/slovakia) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/thailand) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/turkey) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/ukraine) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/united-arab-emirates) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/vietnam) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/htd-home-audio-bnyf/argentina) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
