Disclaimer: I use a receiver with wired speakers only. The GUI is semi-intuitive, some elements are hard to find. All in all I'm satisfied though, as with many tools you have to get used to them and their quirks. Yes, the connection to streaming apps could be better. Yes, there are bugs. Yes, fast-forwarding songs is a must but this can be worked around. Connectivity stands and falls with a well-working wifi environment. I had sporadic issues which I could trace back to my router.

Right now I mainly wish there was an easy mode for the app, so it would be easier to use for my mother. Too many different screens to go to if you want to select and play music from phone/USB, esp. if you use more than varying devices for playback. Favourites works for radio stations. For local music it's only for single songs which is kind of useless.

Horribly unstable integration with Spotify. Loses connection and it takes ages until it works again. Sometimes I just can't connect to any of my Yamaha devices from Spotify. I've invested money to a newer receiver model exactly to use the modern integration features, but it works just badly. And this situation lasts for years, with no improvements at all!
