| 2024-11-24 |  | | All Yamaha CLP 600 series models are compatible other than CLP 625! Why? even the interior and older YDP models are compatible. Was the CLP 625 not meant to be a clavinova model, just used as fake branding to charge more for less? |
| 2024-10-20 |  | | Can't find my P-515 through bluetooth. The phone is paired with the piano and the piano speakers play audio from the phone. |
| 2024-08-22 |  | | Just hangs when connected via Bluetooth to my new P525 although android can pair to both midi and audio and the piano sees the connection. Internet search shows android 13 issues since more than one year!!! Did not expect that from this brand. Very disappointed ☹️ |
| 2024-08-17 |  | | The app is super. It has all the functions needed and the interface is simple and really easy to use. never had any problems with the yamaha ydp 145 B |
| 2023-04-24 |  | | Why would you make it for Android 10 and up? It's a simple app with no specials bells and whistles that might require v10. I have an older tablet that'd be great for it, but it's runs Android 8 and can't be used. Please, call your dev, tell them to re-package the app, this time not with the default settings, but for the minimal Android version actually required, to allow us to use it the way it should be used, on an old tablet sitting on the piano. |
| 2023-03-21 |  | | My Google Pixel 7 Pro (Android 13) cannot connect to my CLP745 via Bluetooth. This needs to be fixed ASAP! I connected with my other device, and noticed that the only way to save recorded audio is through Dropbox, really?? Overall the UI/UX is really bad: you click a button and don't see any kind of progress indicator, go several screens to do one thing (connect for example), which can be done in one scrollable screen. Overall UI is "outdated". There's a lot work be done in this app! |
| 2022-10-24 |  | | This app simply does not work for me. I have a new digital piano (P-515), and whatever method of connection I try to use, the app is unable to find the piano. Bluetooth, USB, WiFi - whatever I try, it just can't connect. I was really looking forward to using this app, and I'm very disappointed in it. Amazing piano, but a completely broken app. |
| 2022-10-23 |  | | The app is nice indeed and maybe even smart too but I just need something more practical and easy to record my piano to my cell phone, Ok. It does records but on very low volume I do not know it could be my settings but that is not really a big problem. During recording my cell phone does not charge through USB connection so it happens the cellphone suddenly shuts off. Uh. Lastly, why I need to send the recording to the Dropbox ? Why not to sent it simply by email to your friend if you wish? |
| 2022-10-10 |  | | after the last update on my iPAD I lost the connection to my Dropbox folder hence cannot use any new material to play with on my €3k piano! Also, it would be nice to have a kind of folder structure in the User's Song menu. It would be much easier to find a song within an organized list of folders than by scrolling down the whole list of songs until you find the one you are looking for. |
| 2022-01-26 |  | | Works petty great with my CSP-170! It has all the functionality I need to learn to play. I bought my CSP-170 specifically because of what this software added to the piano and I'm not disappointed in my purchase! I'm pretty great at following along well with about 50 of the included songs. That said, don't plan on importing any songs that aren't from Yamaha because the software only creates boring bass chords, with zero right hand notes. I also wish the software would rotate to landscape view. |
