## Description

It supports a broad list of LAN-enabled Denon/Marantz models (and McIntosh MX121), automatically detects devices, handles DHCP, and supports multiple units and zones. The app includes a Media Navigation Panel to browse Internet radio, media servers and USB drives, and exposes full control over audio, video, surround, audyssey, sleep and quick select settings. Note: some models are not supported and compatibility with certain home automation systems may vary.

## Review summary

Users praise DeRemote for Denon/Marantz compatibility, quick setup, an intuitive interface, and good value for money. However, multiple reviews cite recurring connectivity problems, crashes on certain devices, and compatibility gaps with older receivers or specific features. Some also note inconsistent support responsiveness. Overall, it’s a strong, easy-to-use remote when it connects, but reliability and model coverage remain common concerns.

### Pros

- Easy setup and auto-discovery that finds devices quickly
- Intuitive, user-friendly interface with useful controls (source menu, zone controls)
- Value for money: affordable one-time purchase
- Unobtrusive UI with no ads

### Cons

- Connectivity and discovery issues: some users cannot find or connect to receivers or fail to configure via IP
- Stability problems: crashes or freezes on opening or on certain devices/iOS versions
- Compatibility gaps: older or some models not listed or not detected; IP/manual configuration can fail; zone 2 recognition issues
- Feature gaps/bugs: limitations with certain features (Dirac controls, station changes) and occasional bugs like muting when the iPad is set down
- Mixed or slow developer support: reports of unresponsive contact attempts alongside praise for support in other reviews
