No Google Home Integration

The entire reason I chose Yamaha was because it supported Google home. They dropped the feature in March this year and is no more no er available. Ridiculous

Impossible to get devices to connect

The worst piece of connection software ever

Super reliable app that I use every day

This app is my daily driver. I use it on every occasion that I use my AV receiver, be it for music listening, watching TV shows, and movies, and Blu-rays.

Ulubione

Dis często zrywa połączenie z ruterem albo zawiesza się system

Incompréhensible

Non intuitive. Ce n’est pas les menus que je veux changer, c’est le son! Juste trouver le signal reçu, j’ai abandonné après 1h. Meme avec 2 IA, impossible de trouver.

Great app, but occasionally loses connectivity

I have a Yamaha WXA-50. Every 1-2 months the internet radio cuts out. Sometimes waiting a few hours fixes the problem. Sometimes rebooting fixes the problem. One time it took days.

This might be a hardware issue, but it’s not clear and the app is needed to control the hardware.

Speakers software problems

I have had these for over 5 years and never worked properly. Great when they do but I get echo sound whatever I do after a while and they constantly switch off. I would not recommend.

Excellent sound but….

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

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

When it works it works well

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.

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 😁. It is a beautiful piece of equipment and the software seems reliable so far.

Très satisfait 😉

Sound

Good quality

Party mode

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

MusicCast

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 it’s the close the UI goes into slider mode when tapping and suddenly you’ve dropped audio to nil.

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.
