Onkyo Controller

Works very well in basic usage. The app is not able to control external USB DAB+ modules like UDB-1-B.

Used to work fine, now crashes on start.... reinstalled it but didn’t solve the problem

Used to work fine, now can’t load properly.

App has stopped working since 2-3 days. Crashes on start.

Ok app but at the moment it does not want to load (11-06-2020 - IOS)

Before this update, it worked perfect, now, even after a reinstall, can’t find the tx-rz720. Receiver has latest firmware as well and it’s WiFi works normal.

Great app

Update: I recently posted about my issues connecting to the app when trying to use Airplay. Here’s what I learned. I have 3 Onkyo receivers in my home and all were giving me issues when it came to airplay. After speaking with support on many occasions about my issues they decided that I should send the RZ70 for repair. I decided to play around with the receiver before I sent it out. What I came to find out was that all my receivers were set to LOCK in settings. I would lock it so no one would mess with the settings. So I decided to set it to UNLOCK in the settings on all my receivers and guess what, all my issues went away, and now airplay works great on all 3. In conclusion, I think when you have the receiver set to LOCK it blocks the receiver from communicating with the app. Why is it that I'm always having problems connecting to the app? I had problems with my RZ3100 and now with the RZ70. Both have issues connecting. So that means I can never connect to airplay when I need to. Please fix this issue. I hate having to reboot my equipment every time I want to use airplay or use the app.

I used the Onkyo Controller app (on iPhone 12) to set up Alexa, as given in the instructions. The last step in setup is to confirm if Alexa will play music by giving it a voice command, with buttons for “yes” and “no”. When I give the voice command, Alexa responds by saying it “can’t find any device named [device name] that can play music.” I push the “no” button, and the app then displays a Google Drive folder with no contents - i don't know what the app developer intended but this is a completely inappropriate response, offering no help or next steps to try. There is a “done” button, which takes me back to the previous screen. After some tinkering in the Alexa app, i was finally able to see the receiver as a device, and was able to stream Amazon Music via the Alexa app, but no sound from the receiver (the receiver display shows the music stream) and Alexa still cant play music via voice command. So not only is the app useless at resolving the problem, the receiver also seems incompatible with whatever music format is being streamed. To say I’m disappointed and very frustrated after at least 8 hours of googling and effort is gross understatement. The app does a decent job otherwise of controlling the receiver, hence two stars instead of one.

This app I wretched. It will work intermittently when at all. Constantly losing connectivity to the receiver and dropping one or both zones. Onkyo, if you read these reviews, please address this problem. I’m about ready to return the receiver and go with a different product altogether
