Reviews: What People Think About Onkyo Controller

Update: App has been updated twice since my previous review below and no enhancements to airplay controls have been made.
Original post
This app has not been updated in six months. Listening to music via airplay on my TX-NR6100, Zone1 is vastly different than on Zone2. Z2 even with latest updated app still lacks speaker level/balance and tone (treble, voice & bass) controls when playing music. Even my iphone volume button works on Z1 but not on Z2. Z2 should be made to work just like Z1 so you can make adjustments to music based on environment. Both zones need to add speaker LR balance as well. ONKYO has great products but the quality of the Controller app diminishes the value of this receiver. These changes are needed to significantly increase the listening experience. I emailed the company several months ago and they indicated they would pass this along to their technical team. Nothing yet.

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.

The app feels much more modern and intuitive to use as of the 3.0 update in October, 2022. They finally added a volume knob, sleep timer and concise Interface of audio info within the app while remaining responsive and easy to understand. In addition, there’s some quality of life options such as the ability to add a custom photo of different backgrounds to represent your receiver within the app; nice touch. Nothing is slow and unresponsive like the how the volume and option menu used to be, and overall everything looks seamlessly designed and upgraded for the modern digital age of today. Do not become complacent, Onkyo. This app is excellent now, but it will need to be continuously updated to accommodate new receivers and features.
