## Description

Denon Universal Remote App by Illusions Inc offers an easy-to-use IR remote solution for Denon TV, Set Top Box, Projector, AV Receiver, Home Theatre, and DVD devices. With a minimal app size, it ensures fast installation even on slow internet connections. Configure your Denon devices in just two simple steps using the app’s intuitive guidelines and screenshots. Once configured, devices are saved for quick access, and you can manage multiple devices seamlessly. The remote fully replicates all functionalities of official Denon remotes, including vibration feedback on button presses, which you can enable or disable.

Please note, this app requires a device with a built-in IR blaster or an external infrared transmitter. This is an unofficial remote app; it collects and uses Denon codes purely for user convenience. Denon Universal Remote App enhances your control experience by combining simplicity, size efficiency, and comprehensive remote functionality.

## Review summary

Users report the app generally works as a remote and can control some Denon gear, but experiences are heavily marred by intrusive ads. While setup can be straightforward and device discovery is quick for some, many reviews cite persistent ads, slow performance, and limited functionality. A recurring issue is IR dependency, with non-IR phones or certain devices not supported, plus lack of Bluetooth. Overall, it’s usable but heavily offset by ads and compatibility limitations.

### Pros

- Works as a remote control for Denon gear.
- Good compatibility with Denon devices (e.g., PMA-1600NE).
- Easy setup and quick device discovery (no endless loading when finding a device).
- No heavy permissions required / claimed to work without extra permissions.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads (full-screen/video ads) that are hard to disable.
- Incomplete functionality (only basic on/off and limited input source options).
- Laggy or slow performance and loading delays.
- Requires IR and may not work on phones without IR; some devices are not supported (e.g., Voltas AC) and Bluetooth connectivity is not available.
