とにかく酷い

アプリを含めて色々と不満だらけでも、長期間使用している貧乏ユーザーです。
兎に角全てのセンスがない。
動作も不安定。
一度アレクサの連携が切れると再接続が非常に大変です。
とうとう再接続できずに、スマートスピーカーを購入する予定です。
アプリだけでももう少し使いやすくしていただきたい。
2度とヤマハの商品は買いませんが、小椋藍選手のためにも、最後に花を咲かせてほしい。

The BEST THING EVER I HAVE
NENoisy ever

Not good

It keeps disconnecting often. Have to go through the whoke setup process every few days. When connected thru HDMI, the volume seems to increase by default without any input and fights with control to decrease it.
