### 2/5 — Always a problem

*2026-05-29, version 1.3.0*

This app always has problems connecting. They should update the app to be more consistent with connection issues

### 5/5 — App Works Fine

*2026-03-29, version 1.3.0*

If there is good follow up service from the dealer you buy it from the Enspire app will work fine.

### 5/5 — Works Great!!

*2025-12-15, version 1.3.0*

Idk what the deal is with all the negative reviews, but I’ve had my new dgb1k enst for a month now and have not once had a problem. Everything works and sounds great!

### 1/5 — Garbage App

*2025-11-20, version 1.3.0*

Disklaviers are terrible pianos. Don’t bother wasting your money. Just a brick.

### 2/5 — UPDATE OCT 2025:  Yamaha breaks once somewhat stable app on last update.

*2025-11-08, version 1.2.5*

NEW - Oct 25 update might have fixed a few things but it BROKE others!  Now you have to reboot the piano from the MAINS switch to get the app to load without the WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH.  And that lasts only a few uses.  Log-in/Server connection issues +++,  NOTE, these issues only materialized with the latest firmware update.  Support is puzzled.  $94,000 MSRP piano is no good without a stable/useful app!!!
OLD
Not sure why there are so many negative reviews on this app.  Some seem to be about the DKRadio subscription and not this application.  Any of us who have owned older Disklavier Pianos (prior the the Enspire model) will truly appreciate how awesome this app is.  You can get to almost every aspect/control over the piano.  Plus it’s pretty intuitive, runs on any device that supports newer HTML functions, and is pleasant to view. 

Wishlist= 1. more access to maintenance functions/tests/settings.
2. Better support for the Remote Lesson functions that allow 2 Disklavier Enspire pianos to communicate with each other over the net.  
3. Dark theme/night mode options.
4. Wallpaper options (so we can picture our actual piano).

Overall, this is an ok upgrade to the Disklavier interface and deserves more praise.  
Happy Listening.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-07-06, version 1.2.5*

We spent $3,500 on this controller that worked for about 2weeks! Very frustrated with Yamaha

### 1/5 — Frequently stops working - impossibe to fix

*2025-06-17, version 1.2.5*

The system is gorgeous when it works, but mine hasn't worked for months, and I have no idea why.  My app can no longer detect the piano.  Customer support so far has been non existent. And it's too sophisticated a system for a layman to troubleshoot.  They need to do much better.

### 1/5 — Impossible to connect

*2025-05-30, version 1.2.5*

Poor app, zero connectivity. Worthless.

### 1/5 — So FRUSTRATING!

*2025-01-26, version 1.2.5*

EVERY TIME I want to use the Disklavier, it doesn’t work. If it’s M - F, I can get help. If a weekend (when we usually use it) there is no access to help. We spent SO much money for this piano and Disklavier … and I have spent SO much money for the subscription and music purchase. And cannot access when I want it!

### 1/5 — Come on Yamaha

*2024-12-23, version 1.2.5*

This app has great potential but is incredibly difficult to navigate. Yamaha go hire a developer from Spotify and make this app user friendly. Very difficult to find songs switch songs create playlists etc. if i would have known this app was so incredibly difficult i would not have just spent over $22,000 for a new Yamaha piano!!  Please update or better yet start over and provide something that is not so cumbersome to use
