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. ### 2/5 — Limited *2017-03-11* Can't change tone, balance, or A/B speakers. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — OK , but could be perfect with small fixes. *2012-11-08* It works fine with my CD-N500, does the basics. However the major functionality missing is the ability to control internet radio stations. You have to use the remote control to navigate through bookmarks. C'mon, it should be there from day one. I can navigate through 50 GB of music on my NAS but cannot switch between radio stations! Small fixed needed for DLNA server browsing, application shows deleted files which bring some mess. ### 3/5 — More options! *2011-12-30* The app lacks standard features, like library search, rewinding, time it finish etc. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Volume control stopped working *2016-03-30* No problems until recently. Disappointed with this development. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 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) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Thank you Yamaha! *2016-04-08* The features and price are unmatched in the market. Keep up the good work. ### 4/5 — A/B speaker selector *2014-11-18* Great app but it's missing a A/B speaker selector. Should not be difficult to add it. ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2014-11-13* Great app! I'll up my review to 5 stars if Yamaha will add basic controls (play/pause, forward, back) to the lock screen. ### 4/5 — Needs speaker selection option *2014-09-18* Good app, but give us the option for A and B speaker zone selection! ### 4/5 — Use with R-N500 *2014-08-23* SOOOOOO close to 5 stars!!! It keeps me from having to walk to my stereo except for choosing between speaker zones. I use airplay from my phone and pc, this app for volume, all I need is to be able to choose which zone is active from the app and the receiver could be behind drywall and I wouldn't need to touch it!! Thanks for the app add one more enhancement!! Speaker A or B selector --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
