I just bought a 209 which is a fine 2.1 sound bar. Followed directions and installed the app and updates. All seemed fine until I tried to open the app again... I'm sure everyone including yamaha knows it no longer finds the sound bar. Like others here I may return the whole works if a large part of its functionality remains unusable. I have several weeks to decide and I'll take my time. I only wish I had known prior to purchasing. I would have chosen another.

This app is junk. MORE than half the time I have to reset EVERYTHING, my phone, the sound bar, the router... I'll never buy this brand again.. Having said that, when it works, it sounds great. There's just too many negatives. I'd swap this out in a heart beat... but have you met 2022? Junk.

Ricidulous! I've already added my YAS-209 to my Bluetooth connections. This app keeps asking me to add it. Even though it's added and connected to Bluetooth this app can't find it for some unknown reason. This is such basic programming. How can Yamaha fail at such a basic task. If they provide some guidance perhaps I'll actually be able to fully rate the app. As it stands, I can't even access the rest of the app because it thinks my soundbar isn't connected. There should be a way around this.
