Not compatible with Apple iOS products!!!

Imagine my surprise when I plugged this in and it did not work with my iPhone. I checked on Amazon and no where does it say NOT compatible with iOS devices. It merely says ships with Android and Windows drivers. I had to go to the manufacturer's web site to see a very small sentence at the end that says "Not compatible with Apple products". I'm sorry but don't you think you'd want to make mention of that more prominently given that the iPhone is one of the most popular phones out there?

I plugged this into my iPhone 3GS yesterday and it does not work with it.  The speakers produce no sound at all.  At first I was fooled a bit because sounds play out of the normal speaker built into the iPhone.  I am curious if previous reviewers are reporting sound quality from the iPhone or from the dock.  Maybe they are using it with older models of the iPhone.  I get the warning from the phone as well saying that the device is not compatible with the iPhone.  Whether I choose yes or no at that menu makes no difference, the dock produces no sound.  It will charge the iPhone, but the speakers DO NOT WORK with my iPhone 3GS.  Do not buy this for the iPhone 3GS.

Beware before buying - the iPhone app does not work with the radio. This makes the product much less attractive.

Was loving it - replaced old one of the same model that stopped working. Was working fine until iOS 10. The developers don't seem to keep up with the times!!

I had mine shipped timely 2 weeks ago as a gift for the family.  BIG WARNING:  I had recently upgraded my Mac & iPhone to the new ios10 - Piper does not yet work with ios10 so therefore I cannot use their product.  Customer service said they're working on an upgrade to allow use with ios10 but they have no timeframe when it will be ready.  We did try it on an iPad that is the older Apple version ios9 & it seems to work fine.  I don't want to downgrade my Apple devices back to ios9 so will wait 2 more weeks & if still no upgrade or update from the Company I'll have to return it unfortunately.  Technology does change rapidly but Piper should have known ios10 was coming & had the upgraded App ready for it's release; this scares me on how their business model operates for future use of their products.  Thus the 2 star ratings; I'll update the rating if they have the fix to their software soon.  Surprised I didn't see this in any reviews nor on their website- not even a mention of it!

My girls received ipods touches for Christmas.  This makes 2 ipods and 2 iphones in our house so this makes charging fun.  I bought this as the description said it can be used with our items.  NOT!!!  I tried both iPods and 1 iphone and they will NOT charge when attached with the cords that came with our products plugged into this item.  Very disgusted I spend money and time on this.  I look at reviews as well as compare items.  What a waste!  I hate having to spend money to ship items back when they are NOT what they said they are.

Works great but not with Apple iOS 9 or better.  iOS 9 only sees it as as audio (no screen video mirroring) and OSX 10.11 doesn't even see it.

I bought this controller in order to use it with my iPad.  Unfortunately, even though my device has been updated with the latest version of iOS7, it's a 3rd generation iPad and the Stratus controller is not supported.  I've read other reviews that indicate some issues with this controller but unfortunately, I cannot either confirm or refute those statements until I have a newer device!

If you have an iPhone 4S and are looking to connect it to this receiver, look elsewhere.  Nowhere does Sony document that the iPhone 4S is not compatible.  The manual lists the Apple products that are compatible and the list does not include iPhone 4S.  I also assume this means it won't support any new iPod/iPhone versions.
Incredible to think a company like Sony can't create a product that will stay current with the latest technology version.  I have another receiver that my 4S works on, so not sure why they wouldn't have made the STRDH820 with the same feature.  I will second guess every Sony purchase moving forward...and I (unfortunately) have all Sony at the moment(Blue-Ray, TV, Receiver x 3, CD Player).

This product does not work with iPhone 4S (at least under iOS 8.1),
you get a Accessory Not Supported error.

Not usable with my new iPad Air.  Sending it back and hoping for a full refund.  Should I just stick with Apple products?

Don't buy if you have an apple phone. You will not be able to use half of the functions.

Stop. Don't buy this if you have or will have IOS 8. Does not work with that latest release.

Everything started out fine, then Apple sent out an IOS update. the 10.13.4, now my add-on 2nd monitor does not activate. J5 web site says it is now not compatible with that update. SUX!!! I have had it too long to return it so I am screwed. I also had an Insignia USB to HDMI adapter, same issue with it, not compatible with the APPLE IIOS update. SO save your $$$ until this is corrected. But when it worked it worked fine as a MacBook Air 2nd added on external monitor using the USB port.
