App and bluetooth poor

I have always had issues with Heos bluetooth connectivity - it's not one click from your phone that's for sure and is a bit of an art form to connect. In the hope there might be some new firmware downloads to address I have tried to reinstall the phone app. In trying to set up a Heos account on this app, I am supposed to receive a verification email. Despite numerous attempts using two different emails, I am not receiving this email - it's never received. Denon must be using servers the size of a pea. Totally unprofessional. While HEOS sound quality is good, the IT design/delivery and bluetooth is weak.

Frustrating

Setting up account is clunky, registration emails don’t work, email confirmation didn’t confirm, even though the linked website said it did. After I managed to get through all that. I tried to connect my multiple Denon avr’s… it said it doesn’t show how… it said refer to the documentation that came with the original packaging. Anybody it who’s heard of the internet, you know, where you can post links to the appropriate info? This isn’t 1995 where people keep manuals…

Not the greatest

I’m new to the app. It’s not particularly intuitive. I have also added Amazon Music to the home page but it’s not the full service. You can’t search for music. I thought I would be able to access albums, songs and artists I like but I couldn’t see everything I thought I’d added to my library. HEOS shows me what’s playing but there’s no queue. I use it on my iPad. Maybe the iPhone is better?

Needs better iOS integration

I only use Spotify for music streaming + TV on my soundbar, so this app is all but useless to me, and really doesn’t inspire me to buy more HEOS products. It’s slow to start up and connect to my soundbar to give me access to controls, and it doesn’t do the one thing I want from it: to be able to adjust the volume by asking Siri or using a control center/home screen widget.

Needs Apple Music integration

I get the “we need to collect your information” desire but for me, not being able to launch Apple Music makes the HEOS app of no use. I don’t like how Airplay is “integrated” into HEOS - more like an afterthought for me and is a downgrade from my previous Denon Receiver’s Airplay.

It pains me to write this as i have sunk capital invested, but this software is anything but reliable. it’s like the software is written by teenagers. i call it update roulette. who knows what will fail in terms of network connection. i really hoped that the new owners would improve things but sadly it’s more of the same.

I haven’t been able to play anything through the heos app for 2 months. I press play and nothing happens. Left only with airplay option bypassing the heos app so can’t use Soundcloud or the music sources I want to.

Terrible app

If I could give this zero stars, I would. The previous Marantz Remote app was not great, but I never thought things could get so much worse. There are not enough functions on the app, meaning the physical remote must always remain close by. What functions it does have are obscured and hard to find.

When it works, it’s great when it doesn’t it’s terrible

I’ve had a HEOS system now for ages and when it works it’s great but often it just drops out and you have to reconnect everything wirelessly and it’s the biggest pain. I hate this system and I would never ever recommend. Nothing is easy.

No support

Always have connection issues with this app, and the connectivity between rooms and devices. Now TuneIn radio is unavailable, and the error message is unhelpful (“Unable to stream from Tuneln. Please try again later.”) No support online, no relevant troubleshooting… updates are pushed through so there must be someone working behind the scenes?! Is this just an issue for Australian users?

HEOS glitches

This app needs some urgent attention.
When using tidal through HEOS it does not function as it should. Example if you select an album and press play album it will play one song then skip off to some other random tracks.
Tried directly through tidal app and don’t encounter that problem.

OK

Love the sound of my system, have had for about 5 years. As with all the other reviews, the app is unintuitive and unfriendly c/w Sonos. I wish they would rebuild that side. Eg, Heos, allow the user to move back or forward to a point in the song, rather than Start again or Next. Have been tempted a few times to trade to Sonos but for my laziness.
Harryfghhfeejjz
2024-02-18

The worst ever

I have had Heos speakers for at least 10 years now. I always had issues. The app didn’t update what was playing once I reopened it to stop a song and so on.
Now: everyday is a surprise. I am forever unplugging speakers so they can connect again (and their light is blue). They come and go. Forget about playing music from Spotify without feeling like getting a hammer and hammer it all down. If I had not spent so much $$$ in my speakers, this would have been in the garbage for a long time.

Denon, please finish the app, don’t abandon it!

Why leave it at this state? You didn’t care about users and only report to your boss about functional changes implemented. Need to finish UX for Browsing, playlist management. Will require couple of months effort to make this app truly great. If you need help with design I can help.
Can’t you hire normal developers to create a working app for once?

Rarely shows the correct track playing

I use a Heos 7 and two 1’s to play from a USB in the 7. Sound is good, but the app consistently shows the incorrect track currently playing.
The latest upgrade to the app is a bit of a nightmare. Everything is harder to find and none of the bugs like the above and intermittent connection bugs seem to have been fixed.
Would also like to see artist name when playing from list of albums.

CLUNKY

This feels more ‘clunky’ than the original app! The master volume adjustment when rooms are grouped doesn’t work smoothly. It will either raise or lower other room volumes inconsistently even if master volume is lowered. Why introduce another button to press to adjust group volumes? Keep it simple as it was! Get rid of quick access to bass and treble adjustments for each room from the volume tab. This means that any person (or guest) using HEOS can increase a customer’s bass levels and damage their speakers!! Only allow this access to an ‘admin’ user or the account holder similar to Sonos. Maybe have a play with the Sonos app and get some ideas and understand why most people prefer Sonos over HEOS!! Most of my client’s complaints are about the HEOS app. Now I think you have made it worse by just applying makeup!

The latest update has broken all functionality, user interface is not intuitive. I would not recommend the Heos system. Unable to play files from dlna/nas server. No support documents online on how you can configure Heos app.

More updates and support needed

The app isn’t too good, lets the speakers down

This is a revised review…third time I’ve done so, i think. I’ve had a few little issues with the speakers over tthe years, well, the app really. The speakers seem fine, good actually, but the app has been glitchy and annoying. A year or two ago my preferred radio station stoped working with tune in. I randomly decided to try it again a couple of weeks ago, and now it’s working again, which is awesome! Technically, i am back to being pretty happy with what i have, but the issues that have come and gone, connectivity fails and a clunky interface primarily, have been a bit frustrating. The speakers are good though!
I appreciate Mr. Mars
2022-06-30

An abominable app

I absolutely hate having to use this pile of trash. It has a user interface straight from the 1980s, it keeps logging me out, and the tidal interface is horrible. And it’s not like there aren’t plenty of examples of apps that do the same thing but far better, this is just inexcusable, especially given the high quality of the hardware it’s interfacing with.

Adding Devices

Adding devices seems near impossible! Trying to add HEOS 7 Speaker along with the 5 others I own and cannot get past the part where it says “Using this IPhone we will now setup your Heos7” - even if I select another method it just sits on that screen!!

Great sound on Denon 350 but….

Disappointing- limited to using wifi access for paid services rather than personal iPhone music Means switching between Bluetooth and wifi with the consequential loss of range. No mention of this restriction
Also app is unstable on occasions requiring relaunching

No Apple Music support

No AirPlay support for HEOS Hs3 speakers, no Apple Music support via the HEOS app. Really clunky user interface that has no ability to search your own library on your iPhone. Very amateurish app, that only does half the job. Never been able to get it working properly. Poorly thought out and poor implemented. Definitely regret changing from my old Yamaha setup. Utter junk.

New version of the app doesn’t work

Seems the latest app update (for iOS) has rendered my expensive and beautiful sounding stereo close to useless. HEOS app streams to the HEOS link for a minute or two then stops - when you open the app and try to press play again, it says ‘media cannot be played’ and the app has to be relaunched to get anything working at all, and then has the same problem. Fix it

Latest update doesn’t work on IPhones

I can’t believe the latest all updated has made the app totally useless with IPhones and IPads. It doesn’t work, needs to be re set every time you try to use it. How can they get it so wrong? How can a company don’t test their update on apple devices before making it available. I just purchased my Denon amplifier but if the app issue is not fixed ASAP I will be returning the amplifier under warranty issue.

Improvement needed

There is really no way just to choose an album and just listening too it, you need to queue the songs first… one by one. Your better off using a music streaming app like Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, etc

Frustrating

Have had much difficulty connecting Bluetooth device to Denon amp (AVR-X4500H) - songs skip & cut in/out etc when using Apple Music app, HEOS does seem to solve this issue but when I try to play music through this app it will only show songs downloaded on my device of which most come up with a DRM warning & will not play. User Interface is pretty average too.

Please Work On Tidal Integration

There are quite a few annoying things, however the biggest is not being able to see what is censored or not. You show both albums when looking at an artist but I can’t differentiate them.
As an adult I don’t want to listen to a song and hear it censored and have to go and find the artist again, and play the other album.
I would also like to see if something is master quality, basically... it would be nice if by using tidal through your app It was just like the tidal app

Works as Expected

Paired with my amplifier, I am able to select from a range of music services and play it on my 1st or 2nd zone. Also able to play to both
Very easy to use. Going to be a great easy app that I can explain to my family
They even give you the option to hide music services that you don’t have/use.

Still a little odd.

App still lags in response to volume controls, also not as fine control, I use the vol controls in app or on lock screen
The need to go into sub menus for favourites.. they should be on top
Eq controls are too many layers deep, it would be nice to have them available on top
Eq setting just bass and treble.. can’t they be split better or is it just the two drivers...
Better than last version
Also does not grab all audio ,, you have to go to Bluetooth as well, silly,
It would be nice to have the app drive your Bluetooth when not using HEOS spkr.

Awful! ... just a terrible app

Something broken every update. Latest update breaks the track indicator function.
Album tracks play by name instead of track number if more than 13 tracks on an album. Forget about trying to play properly tagged double album.
Also don’t bother using the Help > Report an Issue link in the app. Your issue will be ignored. Avoid at all costs. Never again Denon/Heos

Amazing speakers let down by a terrible app

HEOS 7, bar and sub setup sounds AMAZING. Such a shame that the app is missing some basic functionality and has a rubbish workflow. I would not by recommend or buy again due to constant dropouts (even with mesh wifi) and terrible app. Would have expected some more updates by now.

Regretful purchase

When you can finally get the speaker connected the sound is good. But the app is so buggy that it’s impossible to do simple things like play an audiobook from your phone through the speaker, either through the wifi or bluetooth options. Actually, through wifi it is impossible and the Bluetooth connection is always dropping out. Really regret purchasing this to be honest.

Such great sound but the software lets the speaker down

I’ve had my HEOS speakers for circa 3 to 4 years. I have two HEOS 1 (portable) speakers and a soundbar. The sound on the system is great and the little HEOS 1 speakers are great. The battery last for ages too, but the software is absolutely terrible. I am forever not having one or two of the speakers appear in the app. Having to disconnect and reconnect. When you want support it is only during business hours, so you effectively have to have a morning off to get your system working....hopefully!
It is also rare that you can actually group all 3 speakers together, which they are supposed to do.
I had hoped updates would solve the problems but after a few years now, they clearly haven’t. It’s a shame as the speakers sound quality is great!

High quality sound

HEOS gives me the opportunity to stream very high quality sound. Combined with my valve amplifier HEOS gives me lots of pleasure listening to classical music.

Terrible app and terrible experience. Don’t buy the speakers

I was sold these speakers based on their quality. Unfortunately it’s impossible to tell their quality because the app is utterly terrible.
Want to play something from your phone on a speaker... we’ll you have to use the app. And chances are that it will be hard to find and access your existing music library.
You need a HEOS account to access half the content, or accounts with other services to access other content.
This whole product line needs to be taken out and shot. Unless they’re going to support things like Airplay, they have no place in the market.
You can’t even play bog standard radio without a third party account, and with no IFTTT support or time support you can’t use it as an alarm clock.
Complete waste of money. DO NOT BUY THE HARDWARE.
Denon need to up their game. Add native airplay to the devices, allow playing radio streams without a separate app login, fix the crashes, improve the UX, fix crashes, and more.

Great sounding speakers ruined by buggy app

I’ve had my HEOS speakers for a while and they’re great individually and work well with various music services. Unfortunately this app fails at least 3 times out of 5 to connect to all my speakers, fails to group speakers to have music throughout the house, etc. it is such a shame. All I want is to be able to reliably group my speakers according to the situation and I don’t think there’s an alternative to this app. I keep hoping that a new version will address the bugginess but it doesn’t. Too late to swap to Sonos now I guess 🙁

Great speakers, good app

The app is always getting better. I would like to see included in the app a sleep function to stops the music after a certain period of time.

Heos - just don’t

The unfortunate thing about these speakers is that the concept is good if you could just connect to them reliably. However the software limitations make them useless.
Regular drop outs, disconnects etc along with a practically unusable app interface regrettably has me looking for non wifi speakers for streaming audio.
No ability to cast to them. Cannot connect with any other software, programs or desktop media streamer except through an app that fundamentally does not work.
Expensive junk!

Poor UI

Not much of HEOS user, I just own HEOS 1. Cannot play USB music without my home wifi range. While playing music and iPhone doesn’t even recognise it is playing music, which makes me difficult to change music, I have to unlock and open app then only it will allow me to change or stop music. Poorly designed and developed.

Love HEOS, love the app

At first the app seemed to be glitchy but turns out my wifi was dropping out a lot so I fixed my wifi and then HEOS worked like a dream yay! Couldn’t live without the HEOS system now

You want the truth?

We installed HEOS on recommendation from our automation man for a home Reno. We wanted simplicity & ease to play our apple music in our 6 zones. However after the installation & significant expense $$$$$ we found out it does support Apple. What a waste.. My wife, being sick of HEOS’s difficultly & restrictions, has now purchased the new apple speaker as a replacement, which was next to nothing compared to HEOS and is brilliant. Our recommendation for the HEOS sound system is... DONT!

Starting to see improvements

Sound quality wise the Denon HEOS leaves other brands for dead. The app experience is getting better all the time. A strong WiFi network ensures that my speakers all work well.
Development suggestions and feature requests given in the app are taken seriously.

It’s a dumb app !

The app is hopeless and ruining my HEOS experience. Tells me I need to update .... yet will not complete the update ... I now have resorted to deleting app in the hope the new download comes updated .. have got 2 rear speakers that will not connect on account of the update.... what a shame the sound on the bar and sub is awesome when working ... wife continually complaining on this ..... guys steer clear ... not sure why this rated higher than sonos ... and it frustrating to see positive reviews when there are so many bugs ... come on Denon ... lift !
