### 2/5 — 卡顿

*2026-07-23*

卡退问题严重

### 3/5 — ，

*2026-06-05*

为毛还没汉化，根本看不懂，怎么调

### 3/5 — Bien mais…

*2026-04-18*

Une version en français serait la bienvenue.

### 3/5 — THR remote app

*2026-03-18, version 1.6.0*

I’m being generous with the 3 stars. Download for a new THR 10ii-20 wireless. Cumbersome and overly sensitive to adjustments on an iPad. The old THR editor for the original 10C was more professional in appearance and easy to adjust with the mouse on my Mac.
On appearance the current app looks washed out and visually boring. The factory and artist presets are simply awful. If Chris Buck sounded that bad in concert, I’d want my money back.

### 3/5 — Problème récurrent des mises à jour

*2025-09-24*

Régulièrement, impossible de piloter l’ampli et les fonctionnalités quand il y a de grosses mises à jour iOS. C’est très pénible et ça dure des semaines avant que Yamaha ne rectifie. Sinon quand il fonctionne pleinement, il est top !

### 2/5 — App is not smooth

*2025-09-05, version 1.5.0*

The app always states there’s an upgrade. After 20-30 minutes I’ll have to power cycle the amp to make adjustments within the amp. It could be better.

### 1/5 — ok when it works BUT…rarely works

*2025-04-08, version 1.5.0*

sometimes this app just refuses to load. I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting (it shows up as TWO DIFFERENT bluetooth connects, presumably one for the actual amp modeler and one for a generic bluetooth speaker?), ive tried deleting the app and starting from scratch. Sometimes the app starts up and just says “creating thr engine” indefinitely. Really really poor quality from yamaha, especially since the old desktop app (the older THR10 amps didn’t have bluetooth) was so simple and useful. Replacing it with this mobile feels like a MAJOR downgrade.

### 2/5 — Die App braucht dringend ein Update

*2025-03-19*

funktioniert leider gar nicht mehr unter iOS 18.3.2

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to my THR

*2025-03-09, version 1.5.0*

Currently the app doesn’t work at all

### 1/5 — Update the app

*2025-01-29, version 1.5.0*

It’s really hard to connect the Amp to my iPhone. Fix it fast.

### 2/5 — 这么多年了 还没有汉化版

*2025-01-21*

出个汉化包啊拜托了🙏

### 3/5 — Cool thing, some functions need to be implemented

*2025-01-10*

In general is fine regarding functionality etc. The big minus is that every time I start the app it is annoying me with the possibility to update the amp. However, I can not update the THR amp with the app in mobile phone despite I bought a proper adapter for direct wiring (USB A to USB B). Unfortunately this function does not exist for my mobile version!!!

### 1/5 — 汉化

*2025-01-07*

A PP太没有实用性了，没有中文，而且调制鸡肋。

### 1/5 — No compatibility IOS

*2024-12-31*

J’ aimerais utiliser le THR5 avec Cubasis sur mon IPad , aucune compatibilité apparement , qu attendez vous pour faire le lien avec le système IOS? Any response please?

### 1/5 — Abandoned App

*2024-11-11, version 1.5.0*

Amp is great but developer abandoned the app from the beginning. Amp disconnects app at random then won’t detect iPhone & ipad despite re-pairing so can only use amp manually for months on end & unable to use extra fx settings. After 3 years of owning it they don’t seem interested in fixing it.

### 3/5 — Works fine on some devices

*2024-11-10, version 1.4.0*

The good is that it works fine on my Mac and iPad but despite all my efforts will not work on latest iPhone or iOS for iPhone.  Just cannot see the device from within the app tho the THR is connected and I can play iPhone music on the amp.  And yes, Tech Support, I updated the THR system just today!  Given the other reviews it’s kinda shocking I have to write about this obvious flaw.   I did not try with other mobile or PC OS environments to see if iPhone is the only issue.

Works as advertised on the other devices.  Able to access more than just device itself such as two other suites of amps plus about 40 Yamaha created presets, which could provide an instant 6th “preset” tho patience to download plus volume likely won’t match.  If you’re really industrious and memorized a manual setting literally dialing it up on the device live you’d have a 7th but it’s gone once any other preset is invoked.

Now, what about enduring my phone can control my THR so I don’t have to deploy some kind of computer?!!!!

Be nice if Yamaha included the USB cable too though with so many different computers which USB to put on the other end?  Those of us with hubs wouldn’t have to worry.

### 2/5 — Constant disconnect

*2024-11-10, version 1.4.0*

Just wanted to say that I just updated the firmware of the THR10ii itself, and the app still disconnects from the amp within a couple minutes of using it. I give it 2 stars because it’s great to be able to use these features, and if you can save to a preset and assign to the amp in time, it will remember it, but because it constantly disconnects you find yourself tweaking settings only to discover that nothing is changing and you have to start from scratch by closing the app and reconnecting. I’m not sure what the issue is where it can’t just maintain a simple connection, but until the app is fixed I wouldn’t advise anyone expects to use it as its intended. Yamaha, please do better.

### 4/5 — 2024 review

*2024-10-06, version 1.4.0*

Works great and is easy to use for practice playing etc.
I haven’t had any issues since I bought it in 2023 so I’m very happy overall.

My only complaint is it would be nicer to have more storage options or swaps than 4 but that’s more of the amp issue.

### 1/5 — Ужас

*2024-08-17*

Вылетает после нескольких манипуляций звуком, Ямаха стыдно так делать, за такие деньги

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Connects 10% of the time

*2026-08-24, version 1.6.0*

Buggy, slow, unreliable for gigs. The amp is awesome but the app is a huge letdown.

### 1/5 — They just don’t care

*2026-06-26, version 1.6.0*

No updates no fixes

### 1/5 — 연결 실패

*2026-05-23*

아이패드 아이폰 이 어펄을 다 연결할 수 없다

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-02-22, version 1.6.0*

Haven’t been able to connect to the amp in oh, I’d say a year and a half.  Phone and iPad.  Firmware update, factory resets, etc.  Tried everything.  I still like the amp but not happy that there are a ton of features I can’t use.

### 1/5 — Works 10% of the time

*2026-02-08, version 1.6.0*

There is no rhyme or reason as to when this app chooses to connect to iPhone. It isn’t very often though!

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2025-12-31, version 1.6.0*

Constant issues with loading presets and various bugs with this app, you end up spending more time troubleshooting how to make the amp do simple things than actually playing. Yamaha got their money, they just abandoned this app.

### 1/5 — Tentative de mise à jour

*2025-11-07*

Négatif… impossible de réaliser la mise à jour, que ce soit sur iPad Pro ou iPhone 12 Pro . Où sont passés les les pros?? Merci Yamaha pour la perte de temps, les prises de tête… Et la musique dans tout ça ???

### 1/5 — Allô Yamaha

*2025-10-29*

Autant le matos est top, autant l’appli est vraiment développée par des stagiaires, c’est mission impossible de connecter l’ampli à l’iPhone, ça a fonctionné une fois puis après mise a jour d’iOS ou de l’appli, plus rien, j’ai tout reset est toujours bloqué. Faut se réveiller Yamaha

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-08-18, version 1.5.0*

Bluetooth connection very buggy. If you are running latest iOS version 18.5 don’t bother. Just delete it and use the controls on the device.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2025-07-11, version 1.5.0*

Keeps crashing after bluetooth connectivity - unusable

### 5/5 — Finally all bugs are fixed

*2024-08-26*

- Fast switch between presets via BT! 
- iOS version works simultaneously with Mac version connected via usb without any hangs! 
Long waiting but great work! Hope to get version for Apple Silicon.

### 5/5 — Works completely fine! Update your unit!

*2024-08-11, version 1.4.0*

Guys, it works perfectly fine! I have this app on my iPhone 13 Mini, iPad Mini, and my MacBook Pro - it all works! People either have no clue how bluetooth works or they haven't updated the firmware on their actual THR unit (it even says to do this in the latest release notes and it takes 5 min). I use this with the G10TII too and it works great. Yes I’ve seen it disconnect but it always reconnects within seconds. If you don’t want to deal with firmware updates/bluetooth you shouldn’t have gotten this kind of amp. I absolutely love my THR30II and the range of tones it produces. It’s a shame the people who don’t know how to read instructions or do the most basic troubleshooting are the ones leaving all the bad reviews.

### 5/5 — Works fine for me

*2024-05-30*

I’m running this on IPhone, it connects and controls amazingly, this little amp is so sweet for practice. It takes pedals well and does everything from Merle Haggard to Master of Puppets. It’s unbelievable that we can get this many tones in our rooms and control them from our phone. This app took an already awesome practice and creative platform and took it next level.

### 5/5 — 연결 안 되는 분 보세요!

*2024-03-18*

저는 맥에서 리모트 앱으로 업데이트 했습니다. 
g10tii 연결하면 먹통되고 업뎃 안 되는 문제가 있어 윈도우에서 업데이트 했는데요. 
 g10tii 업데이트 완료 후에 윈도우에서 버전 확인하려고 연결하니 또 먹통되더군요. 

 ios앱에서도 테스트 해보자 하는 마음에 설치 후 연결하려고 하는데 디바이스를 찾지 못해서 뭐가 문제인지 찾던 도중....

 맥 블루투스로 연결되어 있는 상태를 확인했습니다. icloud로 블루투스 동기화되어 연결된건지 맥 remote 앱 세팅 중에 뭘 눌러서 그런건지는 몰라도 꼭 주변 기기가 블루투스로 연결되어 있는지 확인해보세요!!

 맥 연결 해지 후 바로 찾아졌고 연결도 잘 됨을 확인했습니다.

### 5/5 — Yamaha THR 10 ii

*2023-10-23*

Я не знаю у меня все работают, единственное не устраивает звук hi gain на самом устройстве, ожидал большего! Попробую пустить через jbl party box 110!

### 5/5 — Funciona genial!

*2023-07-28*

Solo hay que tener en cuenta que no puedes tener  el ampli conectado a la vez el editor de Yamaha en Windows y en el Movil, dado que se pueden bloquear. Si utilizas solo la APP del Movil o solo la de Windows funciona genial!

### 5/5 — 赶紧出汉化呀

*2023-02-12*

等个中文

### 5/5 — Funktioniert top mit der aktuellsten Firmware 1.43

*2023-01-22*

Funktioniert top mit der aktuellsten Firmware!!!

### 5/5 — 배터리 잔량표시

*2022-10-15*

배터리 잔량이 퍼센티지로 표시되면 좋을거 같습니다

### 5/5 — Remote control is awesome

*2022-06-29, version 1.2.3*

It’s wonderful to be able to control my amp from my phone. The enhanced controls for the  FX are beneficial and the bonus FX are a nice surprise.
