AV Receiver Remote Positive Reviews
Please Read STR-DA5600ESConnection problem with STR-DA5600ES. I have 2 iPhones. 1 is on ios 4.2.1. I never have a connect issue on this phone. The other on ios 5.0.1. and this one will rarely pick up the amp. It seems to be an issue with the app not being compatible with the new iOS. Please listen to the consumers and update the compatibility issue. We buy Sony because of its versatility and quality. Don't let a free app taint our opinions of why we buy Sony products..Kaotic_72Version: 1.0.0
Sony AV remote appBought this app. I have tried for 3 days to connect the STR_DA3600ES, it has failed to detect it. Its just the demo that is running. Anyone with a suggestion out there or do I wait for an update?...have discovered that unless the STR DA3600EE is a US version, the app wont work (I have a UK version of STR DA3600ES, so the app doesnt work).Joseph B NyirendaVersion: 1.0.0
Doesn't play well with othersWorked great until I down loaded the other sony remote app. It caused this to stop working. It wouldn't connect any more so I uninstalled the other app and now this works great. It's fast and lets me control everything on my STR-DN2010. Using iPod touch 4th gen iOS 5.Sony MikeVersion: 1.0.0
Controlling STR-DN2010It works fine the first time you turn on iPod. When you try again latter, the app cannot find the receiver. After shutting iPod down and restarting again, it works... Needs to be fixed. It's frustrating..Nikos_gkVersion: 1.0.0
Put a smile on my face!This app works well with my str-d2010. The only glitch is if I switch apps & come back to it, the connection fails. All I had to do was use the task killer to stop the app & restart it. It works just fine after that..CY10LVersion: 1.0.0
Used to work hashtag emojiNot sure if it was upgrading to a new iPhone 6 Plus or the recent iOS 9 update but I am no longer able to connect. I've reinstalled the app but to no avail... STR-DA5600ES; the system is on the network (I can stream groove salad over shout cast) but this app can't find it....ToyDoctorVersion: 1.0.0

Needs background supportGreat app if you own their receivers. Does need a fresh look for iOS 7. Also needs to work while in a call. I believe it used to back on iOS 6 Please update app to support multitasking. Background App Refresh. I don't care what anyone says. Pull up your switcher and close it when you are done. This is a must. I do not want to wait to reconnect every time I leave the app for something. Put a time out for 30 minutes or make an option for us to enable or disable this requested feature. And possibly a time out option we can specify. I am on a iPhone 4s IOS 5.1 and have no problems other then the request for background/multitasking support. So like Nike says... Do it! Then this will get five stars. Otherwise this is dated for IOS 3 with no multitasking feature supported in IOS update it already. Get with the times. Using with AV STR-DN2010

Awesome!After proper set up on the receiver, this app works extremely well. Zone 2 tv on back deck and zone 3 audio in garage all easily controlled with iPhone. I was able to use the 'light' function under 'common' to control a second receiver powering garage speakers. Too Cool!!!.Bill H DenverVersion: 1.0.0

AV Receiver Remote Negative Reviews
OK when it actually connectsThe app works ok when it actually connects, but it doesn't do so consistently. I have a 4600ES and it connects sometimes. This app is really slow and there is pretty much no customizing the horrible interface. And don't bother trying to contact customer support because they won't answer any questions about it and will just waste an hour of your time. The app would be great if they would read these reviews and update it since its been so long since it was released..Mark D SeattleVersion: 1.0.0
Hello SONY, are You reading our comments???Could You please update Your apps so they will work with ALL Sony AV NETWORK receivers- US and Eu?
That really can´t be so difficult for You, You already have those apps so please add other/ older models as well, please!!
I can´t understand why models like the 6400es or 5500es are not supported, what´s the problem, they were really very expensive, and now no support??
By the way I 100% won´t buy a new Sony AV receiver just to use this or similar app. There are many other receivers out there with much better support....DJ2004Version: 1.0.0
UPDATE FOR iOS5 PLEASE!!!This app has serious problems finding the receiver when used with an iOS5 updated device. I am using 5.1 and it's unusable because it will not reconnect after the first time. I tested the app with my son's iPod Touch running iOS4 and it works flawless. Sony, please update your app. It has to be a pretty simple fix. Your other (newer) app sees my 4600ES no problem every time but then forces me to switch to this app which then fails. FIX THIS APP PLEASE!!!.Jason SorensonVersion: 1.0.0
Used to be great!Not sure why but this app now only works about 50% of the time. I have a 6plus with iOS 8 and sometimes it connects and sometimes it just stays on the open screen. I wish Sony cared about their products like they used to. I think this is why Sony is starting to fall and Samsung is surpassing them..Amy A.I. is DEAVersion: 1.0.0
Cannot connect to STR-DN1020I'd love for this app to work, since the on-screen UI for the receiver itself is horrible. But it is unable to detect my receiver, despite trying multiple times, restarting both the iPhone and the receiver, etc.
Sony's MediaRemote app is able to detect my receiver, so my receiver is obviously showing up on the network. But this app can't seem to connect to it..Jonny McOaklandVersion: 1.0.0
Remote won't connect with 5600esApp works great when it connects. Sure would be nice if I wouldn't have to power up and down the iPhone to get t to connect. Sony should look at the Onkyo free app and see what they can do to make it operate the same. Thanks for another disappointment Sony. If you are good at one thing it starting fast and not finishing!.TlgiiVersion: 1.0.0
Very badWell does anyone at Sony read these? Almost all of us have problem connecting the receiver with this program. 1 year and not one update!!!! Just nothing else. If Sony don't care about her customers, then..... Just find some time to just fix it. Nothing else..PpappasVersion: 1.0.0
No communication with my receiver STR-DA5600ESI can't get this app going to work. It will not detect my str-da5600.

Junk!Won’t support my STR DN1050 which is barely 2 years old. Come to find Sony decided not to support my receiver at all!
Advice: Don’t buy any Sony receiver ever as they will most likely not support it in just a couple years.
BAD MOVE Sony!!!!!!.Jebdean1Version: 1.1.0
Nice demo but not working om 3600!The AV Reveiver Remote app is available since July 2010!
