HDD Audio Remote Customer Insights

1. I deleted and installed application twice, but no success.Hello, this software update stopped the application from connecting to the HAPZ on android tablet and made my iPhone useless as a remote control without warning.

2. while the transfer is effected.Sony needs to give the Android version of this app some love! Seriously, on my Android phone all the icons are in some sort of superzoom mode- one can select tunes, or change just about any state with this app.

3. If you comparing it to something made in 2020 or something it won't stand up but it does what it's supposed to which is stream music remotely.What the odd! I downloaded it for my new Sony Xperia 1 II, it can only display in landscape mode.

4. I spent $1000 for my Sony HDAudio amplifier, which requires the use of an app for all the features- the little remote that comes with the HFA amplifier can only turn on/off the amplifier- and next/bIts a good app.

5. Except on android 11 it is forced into landscape mode and everything is so zoomed in that it makes it difficult ti use as you can only see 2 lines of text.

6. The ios version of this app is great, so I don't understand why Don't has snubbed Android.

7. Suddenly it stopped working - can't connect to Sony hap-z1es.

8. I went so far as to get an Android tablet that's running nothing else, but no joy.

9. You know how skinny the phone is ( didn't happen to my note 10+ ) it's useless.It was working well till today.

10. First, the quibble; the database is less than ideal for Classical music.

11. c'mon Sony, always so slow with updating your products.Hey.... It works.
