### 1/5 — No longer supported

*2024-01-10*

This app hasn’t worked for several months

### 1/5 — Piège à …

*2021-12-12*

La bibliothèque fonctionne très bien !!! Si on s’abonne à Dropbox !!! 10 euros par mois !!! Mais yamaha se moque de qui !!! On achète un instrument à plusieurs milliers d’euros (oui milliers !!!) et on demande de passer par un abonnement Dropbox !!! 
Courage !!! Fuyons !!!

### 1/5 — Does not support my CSP170

*2021-10-05*

Despite the demo video telling me I could use this app, I can’t get the app to communicate correctly with my CSP-170.  Quite disappointed. 

I addition, Dropbox support is no longer useful, since they limit the number of devices that can connect to the Dropbox account unless you pay a premium, which I am unwilling to do just for my piano.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-05-25*

Yamaha web site mentions the ability to buy midi files..... this feature does not exist !

### 1/5 — App crashes with IOS14

*2020-12-09*

I can no longer transfer midi files off my DTX502 drum module because the app crashes mid transfer. The app is fixed for iOS 13 but not iOS 14....can we get an update?

### 1/5 — Unable to Connect toInstrument!!!!!!!

*2020-11-26*

This app. recognises my CSP170 but then I get a message unable to connect to instrument.
My CSP170 works fine with the Smart Pianist app?

### 3/5 — Shop not available

*2020-10-29*

The manual for this app shows a shop option at the foot of the screen to buy more content from Yamaha.  This does not appear on the app itself!!  How do I purchase more content?

### 1/5 — なんでやこの使いにくいやつ、ヤマハのに

*2020-09-08, version 2.5.4*

こんなに使いにくいやつは初めて会ったわ。マジに信じられない、ヤマハのに、こんなに使いにくいやつ置いているのがなんだい。

### 5/5 — Super!

*2020-07-20*

Nutze das Tool sehr oft in Verbindung mit meinem Yamaha Tyros 5 per WLAN.
Funktioniert einwandfrei.
Gerade in Verbindung mit der Dropbox sehr nützlich.
Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn an dieser App weiter gearbeitet wird.

### 2/5 — PSR e363

*2020-05-02, version 2.5.3*
