User Reviews

The Enhanced Music Controller is praised for fast discovery, reliable control, and strong Onkyo compatibility, offering an intuitive UI and good value. Users love replacing official Onkyo apps, with quick connections and robust zone/control features. Common drawbacks include model-specific connectivity gaps, naming/aliasing issues, streaming service problems, and some UI/setup annoyances.
Pros
  • Fast discovery and quick connection to receivers (often immediate).
  • Reliable, fast, and stable performance; often superior to the official Onkyo app.
  • Intuitive UI with broad controls (volume, listening mode, speaker control, zones) and multi-input support.
  • Excellent Onkyo compatibility across models and serves as a strong replacement for the official remotes.
  • Great value for money; inexpensive and worth the price.
Cons
  • Model-specific compatibility gaps; some receivers are not found or supported (e.g., TX-RZ630, NR-737, Marantz SR5007).
  • Naming/aliasing bug causing incorrect or duplicate friendly names for AVR devices.
  • Streaming service issues (Amazon Music) after updates; app may become unusable and support is slow to respond.
  • UI/UX can be improved and setup can be finicky (small buttons, layout, IP/port setup).

The app is amazing. Well thought out and clean, but why doesn’t it have a menu bar option at the top to keep it front and center as we work? The programmer is clearly very skilled and talented…. How did this one fall through the cracks? (Hint hint!)

App interface that allows navigation and control at your fingertips! Easy to connect and control!

I know they didn't list it as working but there was a review of it working with the 6100 so I took a chance. Would be awesome if someone got it working with the Onkyo TX-NR7100.
