New update has broken my whole house music

I have musiccast speakers in 7 rooms, usually 5 stars. System has been reliable for a number of years, until now. Latest app update (big change in UI) has made local IOS content unplayable: any local content plays for about 30 seconds then stops. Seems to happen whether or not device screen is locked. Sometimes the new musiccast UI also becomes unresponsive. Same behavior on two iPhone 11s, gen4 and gen5 iPads. All running IOS 15.5; upgraded to IOS 15.6 same behavior. Radio stations still work, hence 3 stars. Will revisit rating if yamaha fixes.

Update: uninstalling and reinstalling app fixed my issue. After reinstallation I was asked to accept the terms and conditions, and also privacy policy. Perhaps this is related to the prior issue. Anyhow, pleased to have my music back. And the new UI is growing on me.

Unreliable App (now I know why apple is thriving)

Bought this TSR700 at Costco. No problems for a good while but then it’s all about the app and receiver connection.

I really want to make this work as my living room TV and surround system is connected to the receiver. TV has zero issues but once you try to connect your phone to the app the nightmare starts. I have two zones, one to the living room and one to the kids room, both with ceiling and wall speakers. Sometimes the connection gets lost and there is NO WAY to even get app to connect to the receiver. When I said there is NO WAY I mean there is NO WAY. Every time I try to open the app its a 50/50 chance that it works or ir doesn’t work. I’m persistent to find an alternate solution while it starts working again. Frustrating!!!!

Nice when working

I like the app when it is working. I have had a situation happen twice where I came home and my receiver (R-N303) lost it's wireless network connection. The frustration came when all of the automatic methods (airplay, sharing ios password) of getting it back on the network. I finally gave up and entered the network SSID and password manually with the remote. This involves scrolling through long list of upper and lower case letters, numbers and punction characters with the up and down arrows on the remote. Painful, but that is the only thing that will work when this happens.

WhenI first got the device, it joined my network as an airplay speaker through my phone no problem. But both times that it forgot the network information, I had to enter the network information manually.
