Features & Capabilities

Onkyo Controller is the official Onkyo remote control application that allows users to conveniently operate compatible Onkyo network products from their iPhone/iPod touch/iPad. The intuitive, user-friendly interface makes it easy to get more from your AV home entertainment experience.

Key features include multi-room playback from services like Pandora, Spotify, Deezer, and TIDAL, plus your local library or NAS, with music delivered via radio, Bluetooth, or USB. You can perform remote control tasks (play/stop, volume, input source) and manage connected gear such as Blu-ray players or TVs through HDMI. Dirac Live-enabled products support automatic sound field correction with editable filters, and you can verify input/output formats. If you enable Network Standby on your unit, the app can turn it on remotely. The app supports Network AV Receivers, Network Audio Players, Home Theater, and Wireless Speakers released in April 2016 or later. Note terms of service, firmware requirements, regional availability, and location usage.

User Reviews

Users generally find Onkyo Controller convenient and capable when it works, offering centralized control and a user-friendly interface. However, recurring issues dominate the experience: unreliable connectivity, device discovery failures, and frequent breakages after updates. Many users feel the app lacks essential remote-level control over all settings, with Zone2 limitations and Dirac controls not consistently reliable. AirPlay/Bluetooth glitches and small-font accessibility concerns further degrade usability. Overall, the app shows strong potential but suffers from stability and completeness issues.
Pros
  • Provides centralized control of the receiver and multiple sources from iPhone, functioning as a convenient remote.
  • Intuitive, stylish UI that is easy to use when the app is functioning.
  • Good integration for Dirac room calibration in supported setups.
  • Volume knob with haptic feedback adds a nice tactile control experience.
Cons
  • Frequent connectivity and device discovery failures: the app often disconnects, reports the device as not on Wi-Fi, or can't find the receiver and requires reinstall.
  • Reliability is highly dependent on updates; new versions often break the app or make it unusable until fixed.
  • Limited access to all receiver settings from the phone; zones (e.g., Zone2) lack essential controls like balance and tone, and Dirac controls can be flaky.
  • AirPlay/Bluetooth features can behave erratically (random songs appear, cannot remove, etc.).
  • Accessibility/UI issues such as very small font on large screens.

App was fine until it started forcing me to agree to Google Cast terms and services despite the fact that I have no interest in using Google cast. All I want to do it control the receiver from my friggin phone, but there is no way to opt out of garbage I don’t want

I’M SO MAD! I updated this app just to find out that I can’t use it unless I agree to an EUA for a Google product that I don’t use and don’t plan to use! There’s no way out, you either agree or you can’t use the app! RIDICULOUS! It makes me feel like the whole app is being used to gather information about me regardless of using the Google app or not! I’d give it less than one star if I could.
