Drops connection ALL the time!!

By Sandylan0625 (Pcmac user)

This started out as a great speaker but recently it’s been horrible. It will play music for about a minute or two and then will completely drop the connection. I use it mostly with my iPhone and the app as I like to be able to play my Sirius music outside when we have people at our pool. But it’s been horrible lately. I would not recommend this product to anybody who wants to be able to play music through Wi-Fi using the app. When it works the sound is great which is why I gave it two stars. But it’s pretty useless to me.
Update needs ASAP!

By Cracker1257 (Pcmac user)

Update: updated to 1 Star. I have two receivers, a sound bar and two stand alone speakers.... Airplay cuts out so frequently you can’t even use it. Stuck with Bluetooth. Link plays at different times despite them being wired. Basically non of the claims they made which is why I bought so far into the app work. Still great stand alone receivers... I have been running different Yamaha receivers for 20+ years but this attempt at multi room, airplay issues, is lacking BIG TIME! 1) make it so the blue led light on your speakers turns off when powered down. As it stands the WiFi light stays illuminated and therefor so does my room because it’s extremely bright. 2) since the last update I have had trouble with airplay, the stream suddenly sounds gargled and inaudible. It continues until the streaming service (one that is supported directly from Yamaha) is closed and reopened. On occasion I have to disconnect and reconnect the device.
*Update* App crashes after 8/10 update

By Zero654321 (Pcmac user)

App was fine. Now crashes on my iPad after August 10th update. Opens then crashes immediately every time. I built the iPad into my wall solely to control this app and the 9 the app speakers I have around the house. Really need this fixed... Does anyone know if there is a way to revert back to the last version until a fix is released? I’ll update my 1 Star review when this is resolved. Update - Yamaha released an update to resolve this issue. Not only did it fix the issue, the app as a whole seems to be working better in regards to speakers syncing with my the app sound bar. 5 stars deserved for sure!
Most reviews are not for the app

By rOOmak (Pcmac user)

In 2019 people still don't understand the tech and don't know how to review... The app has low stars because people are looking to vent out for issues with speakers setup(really?) The app works with no glitches. Someone complained about volume regulation, which in my opinion is well thought out. The app is clear, and easy to navigate and works very well with the device. What I would like to see is integration with services like YT, Sound Cloud, Mix Cloud etc. Also I am dropping one star because of lack of control position within audio track (i mean on local storage, not streaming).
