I was desperate for a Foss app that didn't data mine me or force a mandatory login as the Denon HEOS app suddenly did after an update in December 2024 GRRRRRR!!!! Found this and it immediately discovered my Denon avrx3700h. Works exactly how I'd want. All functions are available. Simply brilliant single person development. VERY NICE! Thank you!

I've been using this app for several years and absolutely loved it, but it stopped working in the last couple days. I'm guessing there has been an update which broke it and now all my vtuner internet stations are no longer visible.

Fantastic, straight to the point Onkyo audio controller, better than the official app by far. Can even map the phone volume buttons while in the app. Sometimes takes a while to connect when the reciever has just turned on, but that's not a fault of the app. (Update: enabling network standby fixed this!) In a world of fickle AV equipment that doesn't always "just work", this is as good as it gets.
