## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Basically useless

*2025-11-18, version 8.5.6*

Fails to connect randomly 
Fails to maintain connection randomly
Cannot be trusted to work.

### 1/5 — EXTREMELY unreliable

*2018-06-24, version 7.0.2*

I've been using this app since day 1 with different firmware & different iPad models in different WiFi environment with same poor results. Disconnects every 5 to 10 minutes & takes long time to reconnect. Yamaha is unable to deliver a reliable product yet the cost is extremely high compared to other digital consoles that I have.

### 1/5 — Current version seems buggy

*2015-09-03, version 5.1.0*

This version crashes every time I try to synch with my console. Seems buggy. Waiting for the next upgrade.

### 3/5 — Premium Effects Are Lost

*2023-11-02, version 8.5.3*

Great app, but there is no way to edit premium effects which is a huge deal when FOH is not in optimal position and need to soundcheck with an iPad.

### 3/5 — Unimpressive

*2018-09-30, version 7.0.3*

Way too much button pressing to get anything done quickly. And, time is of the essence when mixing monitors.  For example, I cannot change the mix I’m working on without two button presses.  Why is there not just a row of buttons for all the mixes.  Even Behringer gets it right.

In addition, there are too many things this app will not do, which forces a return to the console to make changes and then back up to the stage. It is a lot of unnecessary work.

### 3/5 — Custom layer

*2018-03-05, version 7.0.2*

Have been using the app since the M7CL, new version has the custom layer but every time I shut down the app the custom layers are reset. Have done this on 2 different consoles an 4 different IPads. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

### 3/5 — For the Love of God 5D

*2012-06-13, version 3.0.3*

I rather like this app.  I've had great success with the M7 and the LS9 app as well.  But please, for the love of everything that is holy, come up with a PM5D app, it could be invaluable. Mixing monitors wirelessly with Studio Manager is a pain.  There is too much lag time with a VNC.  Yamaha, please.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2013-09-18, version 4.0.1*

This app is great in so many ways! It would be great to add a control page for the USB drive to remotely control playback from this when needed...

### 5/5 — ios 17

*2023-11-18, version 8.5.3*

Not working properly on ios 17

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2013-06-11, version 3.2.2*

Makes operating two boards at once very easy! Thanks Yamaha!
