Onkyo Controller

I’m lucky. The app sees my R695 but as far as functionality goes, that’s the highlight. The app needs some serious love as this piece of rubbish makes the brand look incompetent and valueless.

Drops synchronisation when the WIFI is fine, so you have to go back and setup/sync the amplifier from scratch. I end up using the old school remote because this application is frustrating.

I have an Onkyo 7100 amp. On initial set up I used the supplied microphone balance the speakers using Dirac. All worked fine. Having done a software update it will now only let me use the Dirac setup via the app (so not necessary) so I started it up, it set the sound levels then takes readings for each speaker. Every time it fails and says sound levels are too high. ( It sets the levels) I’ve turned them down manually to minimum and it still says sound levels too high. So now I can’t use Dirac set up anymore. What a useless app.

The app used to be functional when someone in the house inadvertently changed sound settings. Since the update to V3, it simply does not recognise my amp. Manual and automatic settings make no difference at all. Just a warning. There should be a warning as I can not even download an older version of this app. Would rate this update zero starts if that were possible - negative even. One of the reasons that this is wrong (locking out older devices) is, the amp is fantastic - 4K HRD, loud as all hell and an absolutely dream of a sound device. I want to keep it and not update yet another amp, wasting a perfectly good and serviceable amp.

V3 update now doesn’t find any devices, as per the other Nov 2022 review. Please fix. It doesn’t seem ask for local network permission when installing - is this perhaps the issue that needs fixing ?

Onkyo have gone drastically downhill, I bought a tx-nr 686 the sound just does not gel together as a speaker system, it’s 8 separate speakers fighting each other and anything loud nearly blows the roof off while you can’t hear the dialogue, I hoped this app would help with fine tuning the sound but unfortunately this is also next to useless, I’ve had onkyo amps previously and was very happy with them, this however is getting sold or returned and I doubt I’ll buy onkyo again, 0 stars not 1

I was very happy using this up until last week when it stopped working properly. Please fix. The app is great to control your Onkyo system

This use to be a good little app but since the last update it has ceased to work. The app crashes when you open it if you are connected to WiFi. Only way to get the app to open is to turn your WiFi off, but you then it can’t see your AV receiver!

My Onkyo App has suddenly stopped working. It shuts immediately after opening it and I cannot it access it.

Doesn’t work.
