8 years of misery

I’ve been using this app for the past 8 yrs, at first just with my ysp 2700, I then decided to expand my system to a multi room set up and purchased 2 music cast 20 speakers to pair as stereo and connect with the sound bar, at first all went well everything connected set up two rooms one just for the sound bar for watching tv and one with all three connected for listening to music all good, then my sound bar started going out of sync with the speakers, then my music listening room settings vanished, for the last two years every time I want to connect it all together I have to start from scratch to pair everything which is also in itself a pain in the neck, although I love my Yamaha components this app and the connectivity issues really let them down.

Upgrades urghhh

Every upgrade means disconnecting / unplugging/ reconnecting or reloading unit to phone/device… so painful 😖

Version 7.0 issues

Version 7.0 has rendered this app unusable. Will not load on iOS 26.5. This impacts my MusicCast system and makes it useless. I think it is time that I back another brand, Yamaha clearly have lost their way.

App not opening in iOS

After several years of flawless use with my Yamaha network receivers, suddenly the app will not open. I’ve tried all the suggested fixes. iOS 26.5, app version 7.0. Yamaha, please fix this.

App update

Timer function has been hidden in the sound settings menu (not logical) and removed from the playing screen - backwards move
