User Reviews

The app enables basic WiFi remote control (volume and inputs) and can serve as a remote for older Pioneer AVRs, with tablet support. However, it suffers from persistent reliability issues: frequent connection failures and discovery problems, crashes or startup issues after updates, and a long history of minimal maintenance that leaves it out of date with current iOS versions. Some setups work when the network is configured correctly, but overall the app is viewed as unreliable and overdue for active development.
Pros
  • WiFi-based control of volume and input switching, serving as a remote alternative to infrared.
  • Remains usable on older Pioneer AVR models as a remote when the network is properly configured.
  • Tablet/iPad support with a larger interface for easier control.
Cons
  • Frequent connectivity issues and unreliable pairing with receivers; users report being unable to connect or find the device on the network.
  • App often crashes on startup or won't open after updates.
  • Lack of ongoing updates leaves the app incompatible with newer iOS versions, causing ongoing stability and compatibility problems.
  • Often requires rebooting the AVR or manual network tweaks to reconnect.

Works for regular stuff, but going in settings (actually on inputs what’s separate) to set password is a mess! So absolutely no protection, anybody can play on your online receiver if they know few things! Can set password and after a while disappeared, just junk! Also will show up also like ip address… Sometimes is impossible to find the sc97 in your network, when showing it’s connected to your wifi…frustrating! 9.29.25 after last update the app crashes right away…just junk!

If you need to use this app, you’re not going to be happy about it.
