It is a very useful tool for managing and controlling my stereo receiver. It would be great if this app is kept up and running or if a different app would be able to manage the products this app was created for. Some documentation on that shift would be great too. ### 1/5 — Not longer working in iOS 14.4 *2021-02-13* Broken, receiver not longer visible. ### 3/5 — Dated / May not be supported *2020-12-24* This app is functional for older Yamaha products, but no longer is being updated. It is missing updated features like full screen support for iPhone X and later. It also lacks any Control Center support. ### 5/5 — Very useful and stable *2020-10-09* There are couple of features I would have wished for but all works nicely and stable. (using for tuner mostly) ### 3/5 — Works but lacks controlability *2017-10-31* The app works fine for what is is designed for. However, the lack of controls for zone A/B selection is a big miss. This is the only reason why I give it three stars. ### 2/5 — Limited *2017-03-11* Can't change tone, balance, or A/B speakers. ### 5/5 — Very nice app! *2016-11-01* This app is so easy to use. It lets you control your receiver from an easy-to-navigate interface on your iPhone or iPad using your wifi connection. It is so much easier to use than the remote or from the face of the receiver. I fully recommend it! ### 2/5 — Missing key feature *2016-07-10* The app is a utility and generally functions ok. Start up time is a bit slower than ideal. However, for those of us who use connected receivers and enable the them to be turned on automatically via network (e.g. AirPlay, Spotify connect, etc.), this app should allow for a programmable power down function. For example, set the receiver to turn off every night at 10pm in case it isn't manually turned off before such a time. ### 4/5 — Nice Ap *2016-06-08* This AP works with the Yamaha network receivers. It works great! All of the features work well. I almost rated it Five stars but I think they should have included the ability to change the bass and treble and select the A and B speakers. Otherwise a very good AP. It works very well and makes my Yamaha receiver a much better buy. ### 5/5 — Thank you Yamaha! *2016-04-08* The features and price are unmatched in the market. Keep up the good work. ## Frequently asked questions about NETWORK PLAYER CONTROLLER ### What Yamaha devices does NETWORK PLAYER CONTROLLER support?
