Phenomenal
Love the internet radio and usb audio file playback! This app has exceeded all of my expectations! Thank you Yamaha! Your stereo receivers are just as awesome as your street bikes! Mahalo!
RX-a780
Love the AV receiver, however this app is terribly non cooperative too often and not supported and are plenty of updates and bug fixes that should be supporting our investment.
Rx-v677 no longer supported
I used this app in the past and it was good for controlling my receiver. No longer. It won’t recognize my device and the support list does not include my the RX-V677. Yamaha just moved down on my list of future purchases if this is the way they treat customers.
still great
it’s a shame that Yamaha doesn’t keep this app up-to-date. It still supports my RXV775 AVR and adapts wonderfully to iPhone and iPad screen resolutions. I use this app every day.
Volume control
This app used to work so you could just open it up and turn your receiver volume up and down, now it only gives you a choice for music cast. 10 years ago it worked great, now it doesn’t work worth a crapz. Who authorized this app change.
Zone B Control Crashes App
Worked great, but suddenly stopped working for zone B. App crashes when zone B selected.
UPDATE THE APP!!!
Please update the app! Love it except for one small, yet really annoying thing. When streaming music from my phone you cannot listen to Apple Music songs that have been added and downloaded for offline play.. pardon my choice of phrases but what the…?!
WILL NOT CONNECT
Worked great until July 30, 2025. Application update broke link with A/V receiver. Now it will not reconnect. Thanks Yamaha.
Epic Failure
It’s unfathomable that Yamaha would produce such substandard software as this “AV Controller” can’t even find its own hardware on the same network! The only solution to listening to music my phone is to hard wire it directly to the receiver. Obviously Yamaha doesn’t care since this train wreck of an app hasn’t even been updated in over three years! …I’m certainly going to be keeping this in mind when / if ever purchasing other Yamaha products.

Dropped support
The App used to work and it no longer does. I have a “current” receiver as it’s still being sold with RX-V4A and the app doesn’t work. Now only the music cast app works which doesn’t help as I don’t have music cast speakers. Why bother with an app if it won’t support your products?
10 years and still working
Not often in the audio world a company continues with software updates so your receiver works with the latest technology. Always amazed my $800 10 year old Yamaha receiver works as well today with incredible range of setup and ease of use as it did when it was first used. This app to control zones and listening features has always worked with ease - even after all these years.

Works Great Once Mastered
The Yamaha AV Controller works great once mastered. However, the learning curve is longer than most other apps. That said, I still prefer it over the remote control. It is important to note that the full functionality is not readily apparent so plan on exploring the application using all your phone’s control tricks. I am still finding features years later. Overall, good job Yamaha.

Glad it exists, needs some UX design improvement
It’s great to be able to control my stereo remotely, but the organization of controls on this all doesn’t make a lot of sense, particularly with regard to adjusting volume, which you might have to do fairly often. There’s a lot of switching of screens necessary even though there’s plenty of space on a single iPhone screen (and certainly an iPad) to display (and control) volume for each individual zone and even a master control too. There’s no need to have a special “knob” interaction when we are all familiar with the classic iOS slider for volume that both displays and allows you to interact; all the knob does is force more clicks into the user flow. Really, if there were a simple page that had all volumes controllable simultaneously without paging around the app, I’d have rated this app much higher. Hopefully we’ll see that in a future version!

All Yamaha Apps No Good
I have an expensive Yamaha receiver; an RX – A2A. All Yamaha apps are not intuitive, and are focused on Alexa and other technology that I don't care about. I just want to adjust all of my speakers and listen to good music from Central source using the app. The app is horrible for this. You cannot even adjust individual speaker volumes from the app. I recommend looking for a receiver that has a user-friendly and simple app. Not one designed by some geek who doesn't know what the average user wants.

Great…when it works.
Doesn’t work all of the time. Would think by now that it would be much better. Nope…still very frustrated!
Unreliable
When it works its great. For some reason every now and then it jumps into demo mode. Takes awhile to figure out why. My system is wired so its not a wifi issue and entering the ip manually offers no help. No reason for it to bounce into demo.
Nice when it works
For some reason my Aventage Receiver is only recognized part of the time. Apple and Yamaha have no fix for this. Reboot everything, update software change internet…nothing works.
You pay over $2k for receiver and this is the best Yamaha engineers come with? Spotty Air Play?
Now instead of listening to my Bose outdoor speakers in my courtyard I’m relegated to head phones. No more Yamaha products for me!
