### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-07-19, version 1.2.4*

Horrible app. Break constantly. Terrible Interface

### 1/5 — Not working with iOS 26

*2025-09-28, version 1.2.4*

Be aware that updating to iOS 26 means this app will not work.  Yamaha please fix this.

### 2/5 — Limited functionality

*2025-07-23, version 1.2.4*

This app does not include all the features of the original remote, and the replacement remotes are not available for sale when they die/break/are lost.  Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Sooo frustrating.

*2025-01-26, version 1.2.4*

My very expensive Disklavier (and baby grand Yamaha) do NOT work MOST OF THE TIME unless I get tech help (M-F only!)
I would NOT HAVR MADE THIS PURCHASE HAD I KNOWN!

### 5/5 — It is fully functional again

*2024-10-14, version 1.2.4*

Great news, it works with my Disklavier Mark IV again!!!

### 5/5 — Great App Thank You

*2023-12-15, version 1.2.3*

This app works perfectly for my Mark 4 Pro, & Yamahas tech support is always there for me, even 20 years later. The app is done in a beautiful rendering way. I don’t understand the bad reviews here. Yamaha has continued to support my product, and even sends me free fixes such as a new floppy or cd players for free! I’m very impressed & happy with Yamaha & this app.

### 1/5 — Reason to not buy a disklavier piano

*2021-09-16, version 1.2.3*

Please improve this terrible, difficult to use app.

### 1/5 — It does Not find my Disklavier

*2020-05-15, version 1.2.3*

While i want to connect it to my Disklavier? It can Not find my Disklavier name on this app, and there is No any good technician to support, come on Yamaha the world is Not only the place to make money.

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2019-10-15, version 1.2.3*

Does not connect to the instrument without a firmware reset

### 1/5 — Abysmal

*2019-02-13, version 1.2.3*

Never connects. You would think a company like Yamaha with those who invested 40k in a piano could migrate from the crappy palm to an iPad with ease...not even close...ugh!
