This app used to be pretty good but the latest update has made using it extremely frustrating. Previously if I browsed my music collection via artist/album and then wanted to listen to something different I could use the back button to go back to the list of albums by that artist and then press back again to get to the artist list. Not any more. Now I have to do a really unintuitive combination of button presses that I have to rediscover every time because it makes no sense 😕. Ruined it.

Having a ton of issues with this app. Have tried everything to connect my stereo, but when I open Spotify it can't pick it up on WiFi. As soon as I close and open the app again it says it can't find device. This process keeps happening in a loop no matter what solutions I try. Everything in this app also loads for ages. Slow. But hey, what other options do we have if we own a Yamaha product 🤷‍♂️

Buggy. Spotify integration is terrible, won't find devices. No track timeline/scroll bar to let you know where you are on the track. No Windows integration. No forums. On turning on the app, the last track played will automatically start. Track search could be improved... Serious improvements are needed if Yamaha wants to be a credible alternative to Sonos. MusicCast products are great, but the app lets them down. Judging by the reviews Yamaha don't care.
