Pros and cons of HEOS app for iPhone and iPad
HEOS app good for
Of course the sound is incredible. The app is user friendly but does have some glitches from time to time. Overall, I like it.
Vastly improved! The early apps rarely work and were very unreliable. Spent most of my time with tech support. As a matter of fact, it was so bad I even returned my speaker thinking it was defective. I guess enough complaints were register, because now it always works, even when I disconnect the speaker and moved it. Thank you Denon for making it right! I almost was going to give snd return the system. Since the up grades, I am glad I didnt.
Got this first for my parents to replace previous whole home audio system. They love it works great sounds great. Functionality is light years ahead of expensive wired systems. Purchased a system for myself as well to follow. App has a lot of features but after a week or two of using it even my dad is a pro! Tried the sonos as well. The capabilities and quality of this system are far superior. Get it! Its worth the slight learning curve.
Totally amazing technology easy to setup. Easy to use and the sound quality is on par if not better than the market leader. I really love the diverse connection options and the ability to trigger the receiver with remote connections really impressed. Good job denon.
- Support for more services, eg. YouTube
- iPad Air 2 sometimes you can not move (forward and backward) the file being played, you must play from beginning to end (playing with the iPad Air2, Podcast and sometimes USB)
Overall pleased and would recommend in a heartbeat.
Multiple speakers are expensive. It would be nice to see a bundle deal since that is their finest quality (no lag sound to multiple speakers).
I wish I could use the speakers with a tv and create more authentic surrender sound... The speakers added tend to create significant lag.
For the app I am frustrated the number of times the pandora station will skip to a new song mid stream. Nothing changes on my end, but suddenly were on a new song.
I have issues with the sound bar sometimes losing connection with the tv it is supplying audio for... Tends to come back on its own after 20 seconds or so.
I really wish HEOS would create an easier way for me to access my computers song library.
I wold also love to see an easier way to make shufflable playlists.
Some bad moments
Very bi polar, some days it works, some days not so much. Would be great if you could play optical audio in a group.
Very pour connectivity
Fail to connect constantly
Is there another way to connect? Ill drop this immediately if I can do so with another app that works
Seems to work when it feels like it. Streaming from Spotify or Amazon work consistently. Streaming from "iPhone" works about 10% of the time. Thankfully best buy has a 15 day return policy.
This app is so annoying!! It takes forever to load or opens up in the initial set up screen constantly. Whenever a song is playing and i skip it the screen does not update to reflect the new song that is playing.. I constantly have to close and reopen the app in hopes that it will update the screen
This app is ruining the HEOS experience for me. I have four HEOS speakers. When I use Spotify everything works well because the HEOS app isnt used. If I want to use Pandora its a mess because the HEOS app must be used. I will start a pandora station. Two minutes later the speaker disappears and cant be controlled. Its a never ending cycle. Force closing the app and turning airplane mode on/off usually fixes it. Its ridiculous.
I cannot recommend any HEOS products unless you are using Spotify.
When I can connect to the HEOS, the sound quality is great. But the HEOS iOS software is very unreliable. After the last update I can no longer connect nor can I finish setup (says it could not find the network). Worse yet is that because I cannot connect, I cant even tell it to use the Aux input, so its just a big paperweight on my desk.
