Unreliable services.

Worked good, but you can’t count on continued functionality. Is, they “previously” provided Alexa functionality but decided with the push of a secret firmware update to remove it. Even though it was very popular and they just didn’t want to support it any longer. This is just one piece.

Love it, but

I just wish you connected with Apple. Then, you would be perfect!

Working ok

Use this app periodically to control my Yamaha receiver in one room. the app wouldn’t finish loading and just showed a spinner on the launch screen until relaunching the app several times. Please improve!

Doesn’t work

It asks you to join its network to set it up, but doesn’t create one and won’t connect to any device. Yamaha just joined Samsung, Apple, and LG on the list of brands I’ll never buy from again.

Yamaha!

5 stars! Simple yet, the amount of information and customization options makes this a tinkers delight. Has me locked into Yamaha

Love it

Make my life easy, all that I need to be happy.tx

App

Really like this app, it allows me to turn on my system and play music straight from my phone. Nice👍🏾

No es tan práctica el app

No es tan intuitiva cuando estás usando 2
Amplificadores Yamaha. Hay que estar configurando cada vez para conectar y sincronizar los equipos

Functional

Intuitive interface. Sound profile management. Easy access to your musics apps. App Customization. All in! Kudos Yamaha!

No words

Best home integration ever.

iPhone buttons volume control still missing

The latest updates (6/4/2026) that removed the ability to use the iPhone volume buttons, has not been updated or added back. That was a useful feature. An explanation of that in each update would help, but none that I saw.

Setup

MusicCastSetup network broadcast or bandwidth is lame at best. All of Pandora features are not available even though user has a paid subscription. Need to fix this and signal strength for setup of WiFi devices

So glitchy

So glitchy

Works with sonos, not really

Works with sonos integration is a mess and cant be trusted

Love my MusicCast!!Sound is Amazing!

Love it

Make my life easy, all that I need to be happy.

EOL Alexa Support

This app was okay until Yamaha ended support for Alexa / Google smart speakers this month and it’s the entire reason I bought into this ecosystem.

Shame on Yamaha for bait and switching customers out of their hard earned money.

Super connectivity

Have multiple zones of control as well as vintage analog gear connected. It handles everything amazingly well. I’m in control outdoors with ease. Just what I had been looking for for years, even love the continual upgrades. A must have for the control geek’s of the world!!

U I

Not very intuitive. And a little slow to load

Doesn’t work-terrible-don’t buy

It doesn’t work. Don’t buy it
