### 1/5 — Worst connectivity

*2026-09-08, version 7.02*

It’s keeps losing my three Yamaha audio systems. I have to start from scratch every time.

### 2/5 — When it works it works well

*2026-09-08, version 7.02*

I’ve set up the surround sound several times. It keeps losing the wifi rear speakers. Sometimes I get them connected and other times they won’t connect but I can play audio on them. I wish it kept them as part of the surround sound setup but it keeps dropping the speakers.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-09-01, version 7.02*

In my whole life I have never seen something like this. I am definitely changing my receiver to another brand.

### 4/5 — Important missing feature

*2026-08-27, version 7.02*

I have noticed the software cannot access the full system settings. Using the tiny built-in display is painful. That is the only disappointment 😁. It is a beautiful piece of equipment and the software seems reliable so far.

### 5/5 — Benoît

*2026-08-25, version 7.02*

Très satisfait 😉

### 1/5 — Sound

*2026-08-25, version 7.02*

Good quality

### 5/5 — Party mode

*2026-08-17, version 7.02*

The app is good. 
But can you put an easier access to party mode.

### 5/5 — MusicCast

*2026-08-11, version 7.02*

Great app and music products!

### 4/5 — Volume down button too close to slider

*2026-08-10, version 7.02*

Can someone in the UI department stop putting volume up/down buttons so close to the edge of the slider? As soon as it’s the close the UI goes into slider mode when tapping and suddenly you’ve dropped audio to nil.

### 1/5 — 8 years of misery

*2026-07-12, version 7.01*

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.
