Excellent sound butโฆ.
I used to be thrilled with my Yamaha sound bar but it has a couple of quirks that get on my nerves. More times than not I need to apply the power function on the app twice to get sound while my Bose sound bar in another room works first time every time. Also in some scenes and music, it sounds like one of the speaker cones has blown as there is an annoying baffling noise.

Great interface
Excellent connectivity and user experience
Streamer king
I have had the streamer for age. I appreciate tha5 Yamaha are supporting it and so they should.
It sounds great and 5he controller integrates well with my current setup. Keep it up.

Worst connectivity
Itโs keeps losing my three Yamaha audio systems. I have to start from scratch every time.
When it works it works well
Iโve set up the surround sound several times. It keeps losing the wifi rear speakers. Sometimes I get them connected and other times they wonโt 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.
Garbage
In my whole life I have never seen something like this. I am definitely changing my receiver to another brand.
Important missing feature
I have noticed the software cannot access the full system settings. Using the tiny built-in display is painful. That is the only disappointment ๐. It is a beautiful piece of equipment and the software seems reliable so far.

Sound
Good quality
Party mode
The app is good.
But can you put an easier access to party mode.

Great app and music products!
Volume down button too close to slider
Can someone in the UI department stop putting volume up/down buttons so close to the edge of the slider? As soon as itโs the close the UI goes into slider mode when tapping and suddenly youโve dropped audio to nil.
8 years of misery
Iโve 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/deviceโฆ so painful ๐
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. Iโve 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
Very satisfied, except.
I been using this connected to my RX-V6A for a few months now. I am extremely pleased with the control of the device except occasionally it refuses to see my device. I find I need to do nothing but exit the app and leave it a minute or two where it will then connect. Once it connects it seems very stable. Overall Iโm very impressed. I am using it via wi-fi with the router 7 meters away and Latest update. I may try to cable it as was suggested.

Started working again early this morning.
Strangely, no change in the version number?
For those experiencing network connection issues, I discovered that using an Ethernet cable between tuner and modem was an instant solution.
If the two items are fairly close it will probably work for you.
