8 of 25I'd love for this app to work, since the on-screen UI for the receiver itself is horrible. But it is unable to detect my receiver, despite trying multiple times, restarting both the iPhone and the receiver, etc. Sony's MediaRemote app is able to detect my receiver, so my receiver is obviously showing up on the network. But this app can't seem to connect to it.
Could not get it to work. Judging from the comments here it looks like Sony is not doing any more development on this app.
Good
I am a Sony Home Entertainment products fan. Would love to use this with my Sony products. Received Apple dialog box informing me that this application should be updated to be more compatible with new iOS and devices. Thank you!
The app works ok when it actually connects, but it doesn't do so consistently. I have a 4600ES and it connects sometimes. This app is really slow and there is pretty much no customizing the horrible interface. And don't bother trying to contact customer support because they won't answer any questions about it and will just waste an hour of your time. The app would be great if they would read these reviews and update it since its been so long since it was released.
Could You please update Your apps so they will work with ALL Sony AV NETWORK receivers- US and Eu? That really can´t be so difficult for You, You already have those apps so please add other/ older models as well, please!! I can´t understand why models like the 6400es or 5500es are not supported, what´s the problem, they were really very expensive, and now no support?? By the way I 100% won´t buy a new Sony AV receiver just to use this or similar app. There are many other receivers out there with much better support...
I can't get this app going to work. It will not detect my str-da5600. I have also downloaded network audio remote, this app detects my STR-DA5600 in a few seconds. Does anybody faced the same problems? Hope someody can help me out. This app was one of the reasons to buy the str-da5600ES.
Nothing works
