| 2024-12-28 |  | | I can finally lower the bass after years because I couldn't find lost remote |
| 2024-12-21 |  | | this is a fantastic app. I lost the original remote control to my Yamaha soundbar. this app save the day. I was able to program one of my smartphones to be a remote for my Yamaha soundbar once I installed the app. it works perfectly |
| 2024-12-15 |  | | Does the job perfectly and by providing visual information on your phone or tablet it is a step up from the supplied remote. |
| 2024-12-06 |  | | Doesn't work with SR-B30A even though the instructions clearly state you can use the app to control the soundbar. I know I'm connected to Bluetooth because I can stream music from my phone to the soundbar. App just doesn't find it even while 1 ft away from it. |
| 2024-12-06 |  | | Better than the cheap remote that came with the soundbar. |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | Upgraded my phone to a pixel 8 and this app no longer works. Uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, granted every access, etc...no bueno. It just straight doesn't find the bar even though I'm less than 8 foot from it, with it powered on, and my wife's iPhone works perfectly with it. Edit: YAY! You fixed it! After like a year....but you did it! Thanks! Now I can use the app as intended! Gonna go to 3 stars instead of 5 though because you should have fixed it a long time ago. |
| 2024-10-25 |  | | Excellent simple app. Can change all of the settings that the remote can. Easy to see current settings especially if you can't see the leds on the soundbar from where you're sitting. But the absolute best part of this app is its a LOCAL Bluetooth connection. It does Not go through the internet nor does it require a login. Legitimately, thank you Yamaha |
| 2024-03-25 |  | | Always takes several tries to connect - I have no idea why. I am literally sitting six feet away from my soundbar (SC20A) but I get the 'connection failed' message and have to keep refreshing until it connects. My soundbar doesn't even show up in my list of devices when I switch Bluetooth on manually. Don't have this problem with any other Bluetooth device. Once connected, it works great. |
| 2023-11-11 |  | | much better than the actual remote, more often than not, the actual remote gets lost. the app allows you to see the adjustments as they happen, easy to install the app, easy to control from your phone. |
| 2023-07-27 |  | | I can't connect to my speaker on Bluetooth after the update... it shouldn't be hard to fix this problem since it was easy for me to switch from Bluetooth and analog before the update... |
