Comments on MusicCast Controller for Android

★★★★★ Damian Gates · Nov 9, 2026

Love the Music Cast system and speakers. I have every room in the house covered and the sync feature is great.

★★★★☆ Ivaylo Parvanov · Nov 3, 2026

Very good, but missing some important features. First the problem: no seek for DLNA playback and no gapless playback. Why is it that BubbleUPnP gives me all that and works better with my Yamaha receiver than Yamaha's own app? The good: I like the internet radios. I like DLNA playback. Having all the receiver configuration easily accessible with tooltips and hints is great. I like volume control from my phone. Soyuz support is appreciated 👍 It's very close to being a great app.

★★★★★ Thomas Boyd · Oct 15, 2026

Fantastic app! True, lossless, FLAC HD Music streamed to my Yamaha AVR, over my Wi-Fi, seamlessly! Funny how Apple cannot match this technology as they only have compressed Audio via Airplay 2.

★☆☆☆☆ Randy Chastain · Sep 12, 2026

I used to love the music cast app until Yamaha decided to no longer support the app working with the Alexa app and the Google Home app.

★☆☆☆☆ Alan Neet · Aug 24, 2026

Don't buy any Yamaha music cast product. Was nice a few years ago, but it is garbage now. App won't connect to my receiver or none of my music cast speakers. Thanks, Yamaha, for taking my money and not delivering a nice music experience. Time for a garage sale if they don't sell it's to the dump with them.
