User Reviews

Overall, HDD Audio Remote is praised for its intuitive, fast, feature-rich UI and for providing quick, convenient access to the music library when it connects. Reviewers view it as a strong companion to Sony’s HAP players and praise its organized, information-rich interface. However, the top issues are reliability: the app frequently loses or struggles to connect with the player, updates can break compatibility, and WiFi/network stability is often cited as a bottleneck. When the connection holds, the app works well and feels responsive.

Pros

Intuitive, fast, and graphically rich UI that presents lots of music information.
When it connects, it provides convenient remote control with immediate access to the library.
Feature-rich and well-organized, making it easy to reach and manage music quickly.
Generally a strong companion app for Sony’s HAP music players; users report it works well when stable.

Cons

Unreliable connectivity: the app frequently loses or struggles to connect to the HAP players and requires repeated reconnections.
Updates often break compatibility or disrupt the connection, sometimes rendering the app unusable after a new release.
WiFi/network stability issues require a solid router and proper network setup; users report flaky connections even on good networks.
Temperamental behavior and occasional
going to sleep
hindering navigation without reloading.

Use HDD Audio Remote app for many years, nice user interface, a lot of music information and nice graphics on the screen. Everything great. If Sony can update the app and add other music streaming service would be perfect.

Love the player but it’s rendered almost useless when the connectivity to the app interface with it is so terrible. And it’s been this way for years! Can it really be that hard for a huge company to offer this small consolation???!!
