So far digging it. More intuitive than the Onkyo app
by John McCarroll, 2024-09-02

Much better than the original Onkyo app. The only app that also let's me switch a/b speakers which I use in different rooms.

I never rate apps....but this one is so well designed and so necessary! Denon control app ate up my phone battery....this one replaced it and has more features,more options. So thoughtfully designed!
