Onkyo Remote 3

I’ve been using this app for over 5 years now to run my amp over 2 separate zones. Works a treat and no problem streaming Apple Music over Airplay.

Useless up sometimes it works some time it doesn’t like now it’s not working

At first I was blown away... full control of AVR settings, config, mode, remote turn on/turn off, streaming from iPhone library. But then it’ll randomly disconnect, sometimes you just hit play and it restarts, sometimes you have to nuke the app and restart. And every.single.time. the volume drops to zero when a new song starts when streaming from phone.

Very handy, although Apple Music does not steam with this app which makes it less than great.

Of all the apps, I hate, I hate this one the worst. It is the slowest to load it’s absolutely garbage. I can’t wait to replace this Onkyo receiver with something else

It just never works

That’s it. After upgrading, Remote3 stopped connecting with my TX-NR717. I suspect UDP blockage, but I won’t swear to it. App goes to Searching screen and I can’t get away from that screen to check settings. I am very disappointed after years of satisfaction with this app. I have little hope that it will be fixed after this long not working. Bummer.

It will work perfectly, allowing me to control my zone 2 outdoor music, for a few weeks. Then suddenly it stops connecting to the receiver. I’ll go through every possible solution and nothing works. Then all of the sudden. It starts connecting again. Frustrating to say the least.

I’ve had my onkyo for about 7 years. The remote worked for a few years but now it’s hit or miss. Mostly miss. Very disappointing that the remote rarely connects to the unit so it’s unusable.

I have to say this app has worked absolutely beautiful for me. Easy to use and intuitive. A lot easier to use than the A/V original remote. And I’ve never had a problem with the app finding and/or connecting to the A/V Receiver or WiFi network. I gave the app 4 stars (instead of 5) because there is no option to listen to the audio via Bluetooth headphones, an option that available in other similar apps.
