Ratings and reviews

This app is not stable. Hit and miss with syncing up remote wireless speakers. If you use your cell for another use, the app shuts down. 9.18.24. Never-ending issues with this app. Shuts down long before the 7 hour cut-off. I'm sorry I ever went with Yamaha. We are sending civilians in outer space, and I can't keep the receiver on.

The streaming could be SO GOOD if this app and the reciever would just hold the Wi-Fi signal. There are hundreds if not thousands of available internet radio stations but the app constantly "forgets" the device that it's supposed to control and resetting/reconnecting is a pain or unsuccessful. IF the app can actually pull up a short list of available internet radio stations, connecting to one will take an hour. Then, once it's connected, it buffers for minutes to hours at a time.

Works sometimes. When you need it work, good luck getting multiple devices to play nice together. I have 4 Yamaha amps,but nearly impossible to make it work together, at least that's what I find. If it does happen to work it's great. If you don't use it every week that's impossible. Make it for dummies,with some advanced options for those who use it all the time.
