Features & Capabilities

This iPhone/iPad app gives you unprecedented control over 2014+ Denon network AV receivers, with a redesigned interface and direct access to power, volume, inputs, and settings. It supports HEOS-based network browsing and, depending on the model, can open the HEOS app for seamless multi-room control.

Key features include on-the-fly HEOS switching, ECO mode, advanced setup options (Sleep Tone, Channel Level, etc.), access to user manuals, and multi-language support. Compatibility depends on the receiver model and firmware; you may need to update firmware and enable Network Control in the Denon settings for full operation.

User Reviews

Users largely view Denon AVR Remote as unreliable after recent updates. Core issues across many reviews include freezing, poor device discovery, and limited multi-zone control, with missing features like Atmos and speaker balance. Some experiences are device-dependent (iPad or older iPhone may work better), but overall the app’s consistency and compatibility have degraded, with reports of frequent reinstalls and even needing to unplug the AVR to regain control.
Pros
  • Historically, the app was user-friendly and functional before the last update.
  • Some users report reliable performance on iPad and older iPhone devices.
  • When it works, the app provides broad remote-like control over Denon receivers.
Cons
  • The app frequently freezes or becomes unresponsive after updates.
  • Receiver discovery/connectivity failures: it often cannot find the Denon AVR, or requires unplugging the AVR to reconnect.
  • Limited multi-zone control: Zone 2 is difficult or impossible to control, and multi-zone setup is not easily managed.
  • Important features can be missing or greyed out after updates (e.g., Atmos, speaker balance, Neural DTS).
  • The app requires frequent reinstalls or is very unreliable, with reports of daily deletions/reinstalls and persistent instability.
Recent reviews
The latest update for “2026 models” has deleted input/output details (audio channels/ video resolution) for Zone2 HDMI. Complained to Denon support but they said it will have to be submitted as an “enhancement request” to developers.

Wild that here in 2026 these jerks can’t deploy a reliable update!

The app was fairly user friendly and functional until the last update. Now it’s useless. Smoke signals communicate better with the receiver now.
