Harman Kardon Remote App Reviews

I can download the app, but it only gives me access to the songs in my Library. I need the ability to control the Equalizer for the dimensions and characteristics of the room. Disappointing!

Originally the App could not find my receiver (avr 1710). But with the new firmware on HKs website the app worked perfect the first time. Airplay also started working !! (You can use this feature without the app)

I just want to connect and control my sound bar! Is that too much to ask? But I have a million options non of which seem to be what I need.

Not listed as an option on the set up screen. But included as available on the description. Useless APP for me

I use this app daily to control my AVR 1700. It does the job - I can change inputs, adjust volume, basically control the main features of the receiver from my iPhone or iPad. The thing that makes me not love this app is if it is left running in the background, it drops the connection to the receiver and gives an error. This happens every time, requiring me to force quit the app and restart it. Its a simple fix - the developer could not allow the app to run in the background or they could force a disconnection with the receiver after a period of inactivity. This one bug makes me cringe every time I have to restart the app.

Id rather get up and adjust the device its easier its really Horrible not intuitive, I made it work but its so painful I give up, just updated it after months of not even looking at it and I just cant imagine they are satisfied with the app its still horrible Sent from the Harman Kardon Remote app. Sent from my iPhone

I have the SB26, & love it. The sound is great, but the app would be even better if I could see the volume percentage for bass control & volume on the adjustment screen.

Worked ok initially. Emphasis on OK. Now wont even find my wi-fi. Blue tooth is setup and still this app refuses to connect to my aura.. Please fix!!

Great app! Works flawlessly with my avr1710. Haters will hate. Im glad HK made this app, I can play songs with my iPhone in a breeze or change sources without any lag. 5 stars all the way! Thanks HK...

App allows volume control, but I can do that via the built in functions of my iPhone without the HK Remote app. Please add the ability to change the source. Please!!!

Have no idea why with a luxury speaker (Aura) you cant change the source through the app since they dont provide another remote.

The Aura speaker is a great piece of speaker engineering . Sound is outstanding and full. The application however is neglected . Although Bluetooth works well connectivity with AirPlay and wifi is horrible . It will not connect since the last update via wifi and setup to accomplish the connection is tedious. Harmon ; pay some attention to this product , it would appear to be completely forgotten . It needs a complete revamp....... Do it soon please

I have paired it with the onyx using Bluetooth and dont see any advantages to having it. It does not show the battery charge level ( jambox feature). The volume interface does not allow for fine volume level control. It does not allow for customizing the equalizer. Nothing that the iOS system controls dont already give me.

it’s good and useful for me, when i have few harman kardon product when i can control the volume any time with my iPhone. but now i wish to have support apple watch it will be more convince for apple watch user!!

Let me start off by saying I hate people who unreasonably write bad reviews. However, I bought the h/k aura because of not only look and sound, and it to this day still blows me away, however. The functions in which it prides itself on dont work reliably. Bluetooth cuts out almost consistently, and wifi dont even get me started on. Now thats just for the speaker, the app is on the same level of crappy. I use the speakers optical input for my tv, which is great, however every time I want to change to that mode I must get up to do so, this should be something that the app does especially considering no remote comes with the device. There are so many pros about this device, unfortunately the cons out weigh it. Due to lack of support for their products, I will never buy another. If this were some cheap brand I wouldnt care, and Im a firm believer in crap just happens, however, this is so avoidable. Not nearly the performance expected for the price.

I love the HK Aura box, great sound, awesome design- but the app is a nightmare. The app will lose the connection to the box every time, afterwards Im not able to connect again. I can only connect w/ another device to change the volume. I highlighted this several time but never got a feedback - I guess there us no support ar all. The last update of this app is 1,5years ago - what is the issue w/ listening to customer feedback? Its not a cheap box... room for improvement !!!

When it can connect to my AVR 1700, then its not too bad with limited functionality and feedback for controls. But getting it to connect is frustrating. Rarely does it ever recognize the Receiver so the app is useless most of the time. Running on the latest receiver firmware and app version is supposed to resolve the problem but it doesnt.

I dont need help setting up bluetooth on my phone to sync this. I dont want to create playlists when I have playlists already. The sole reason I wanted this is because I thought I could turn it off and on. That isnt possible with this app. So I deleted it. 2 stars for nice presentation and being easy to use.

I love my Aura speaker. It sounds great, looks amazing, and fills my living room with floor vibrating volume. The iOS app however is junk. When using it, the volume fluctuates between muted and full volume. The only way to fix the issue is to kill the app, power off the speaker, forget the device in my network settings, restart the speaker, reconnect to the device, cross my fingers and pray. WiFi connectivity fails on a regular basis. Bluetooth connectivity is just so so. In the end, if I want reliable volume control and connectivity to the speaker, I connect via the headphone jack and bypass the Harman Kardon Remote app all together. That kind of deletes the purpose of having a wireless speaker dont you think?
