### 1/5 — 使えなくなった

*2026-05-22*

携帯をバージョンアップしてからAVアンプを認識しなくなり使えなくなった　古いiPadに入れてるアプリは使用出来るとは…

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-05-16*

Rarely connects. So frustrating

### 2/5 — It’s works most of the time

*2026-05-04*

Not a great app I have to say. It works okay most of the time. But seems to just stop for no reason. I’m listening to music and all of a sudden it will stop. The app has lost all connection with my amp and nothing will work. Yamaha really need to fix all the bugs.

### 5/5 — 便利で附属リモコンは使わない

*2026-04-04*

とても使いやすい。特によく使う入力や音場を選択するのに、選びたいボタンがわかりやすくマゴマゴしないので、操作にストレスがないです。
基本的に附属リモコンはつ使わなくなりました。
使うに当たっては、同一ネットワーク上でアンプとスマホやタブレットが接続できてないと繋がらないので、ルーターを2台以上使ってる方は注意してください。

### 1/5 — ゴミ

*2026-03-11*

繋がらなくなるゴミアプリ

### 4/5 — Comment mettre une radio internet en favoris

*2026-02-28*

Il y a le strict essentiel mais il manque la mise en favoris de radio internet. En tout cas je n’ai pas trouvé.
Dommage.

### 5/5 — Works well with DHCP On

*2025-12-30*

At first I couldn’t get it to work, but the DHCP was off in the receiver network settings. Once I turned DHCP in it connected properly and it worked perfectly.

### 1/5 — Sem conexão

*2025-11-16*

Meu aparelho iPhone 17 air não consigo conectar

### 3/5 — Ça marche mais…

*2025-10-26*

L’appli a été géniale… à une vieille époque. Son ergonomie est devenue préhistorique et son interface a mal vécu le passage des ans.
Yamaha, il serait grand temps de la mettre à jour et de lui offrir un ravalement de façade.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect or detect the AVR

*2025-09-26*

Most of the time it doesn't connect. Very rarely it connects, and most of the time it is unusable.
