Great App! Have been using this app for nearly 20 years as our yard/pool music system controller. Bluetooth's range is Great. Are able to crank full amp volume with Music Cast vs straight Bluetooth only link. Fun streaming the built-in would wide stations at times for something different. Usually streaming my Amazon Playlist or SiriusXM.

Music Cast is connecting our house sound with a tablet controlling our favorite streaming apps as well as our internal PLEX app server with our owned library of digitized albums and CD's.

it's good but wish it had access to more streaming apps like YouTube Music.
★☆☆☆☆Manuel Navarro· May 30, 2026
Ever since the latest firmware update to my RX-A6A (May 2026), I can no longer stream music from my Samsung Galaxy Amazon Music App to the receiver!! Extremely frustrating! Several times now I have cleared cache/data from this app & Amazon Music app....still did not work. Twice now I have deleted both apps & reinstalled them.....NOTHING IS WORKING!!!! The UI on the Music Cast app is horrendous, so I prefer using the Amazon app.
★★☆☆☆Justin Beard· Mar 3, 2026
Amazing I love this! Makes life so simple. Update 8/24.... for SiriusXM can you just make one that says all music or add a search. There are internet stations that are missing from your lists!!! Please make the SiriusXM search function or list all. Updated 3/26

Love the speakers. The app is complete garbage. Constant connection issues.
★☆☆☆☆Chris Lund· May 25, 2026
Would never recommend Yamaha for music. No slider to skip forward or back during local playback. LOL Not working: 1. Transmitting to in-ears (via Bluetooth) 2. Using equalizer. Unit: WXC-50. According to the manual it ought to work. Zero tech support. App: 0/10.
★☆☆☆☆Blake Wozniak· Jun 27, 2026
I use primarily with Amazon Music and the tuner for local stations. When attempting to select Amazon as my source, it often says "Please wait a moment." I've checked to ensure the latest receiver firmware and app updates are in place. If I'm able to get it to play, it regularly skips or will randomly stop playing. This occurs 60 to 70 percent of the time, and I'm tired of messing with it. App and receiver (Yamaha RX-V6A) don't work well together.
