OSD Control 4+

I’m not sure why they don’t invest some time to fix this app. At first look it seems like it includes all the basic controls for a sound system but once you try to use it it gets very disappointing. When switching among the various zones it doesn’t always work so you have to quit the app and launch it again. The on-off and mute button of each zone doesn’t always work, or doesn’t respond for 3-5 seconds There’s no way to custom name the zones so it gets very difficult to remember what each zone controls, especially when you combine 2 or 3 units with 12-18 zones. Sources need to be named on each device separately, it is not retained by the unit From time to time the settings of some zones change on their own: like the volume, pan, eq etc. There’s no way to group the zones or even control all the zones at ones, except All ON and All OFF.
You cannot assign a static IP to the network card…really???
The unit doesn’t have a built in IR recover to use with a remote controller…. You need to purchase a separate remote controller unit which is also not efficient and poorly designed. Once you buy the optional remote controller units the remote controller needs to be pointed to the various wall plates and can only control one zone at the time so you need to go around the various rooms and zones which defeats the purpose of having a remote controller…. I
’m pretty sure that any decent app developer could fix all those issues very easily. It just looks like they gave up on the app development when most other companies invest a lot or time and resources to make apps function properly. C’mon OSD! Fixing this app will rebuild the confidence of existing customers and will definitely help you sell more units once people

This app is buggy and doesn’t function properly the majority of the time. When it malfunctions it will turn the volume all the way up while turning the balance all the way to one side. So you get the opportunity to blow out half of your speakers if you don’t have a DB limiter in place. When reaching out to OSD for assistance they ignore you. So thanks for that OSD. I was buying my audio equipment from OSD. I have since been looking for other vendors. If you spend a few minutes you can find the “Nero Max12” at other venders.

This app is extremely clunky. You make a setting to one channel, move to the next and the previous channel reverts. Navigation in the app makes no sense, and channel names and settings are stored on the device so each house member has to set up their own, and everyone competes with each other even when controlling different zones. We had a friend that sets up home automation/audio video systems and he struggled. This app needs to be redone from a UX perspective.
