Pros and cons of NETWORK PLAYER CONTROLLER app for iPhone and iPad

NETWORK PLAYER CONTROLLER app good for

Works without any problems. First i had the yamaha wireless device and had problems with latency of the network. Changed this device to an apple airport express and everything does what it needs to do! Only one thing is missing, it’s not possible to create bookmarks with the app.
Just purchased a Yamaha stereo receiver and was not specifically concerned about the wireless integration with my computer, ipad etc. It was just going to be a bonus. The stereo setup took about 10 minutes and the networking another 10 minutes. However, to see it all in action is amazing. It is so easy to control the receiver from my iPhone and iPad that I have put away the included remote control. You can even turn the unit on from Standby with the app. The receiver sounds great with my new reference speakers, which is a given, but the high tech options takes the experience up a notch. Audio quality with the AirPlay is great, and I still have access to internet radio, and my DLNA server! I cannot think of anything else that I would want from the app. Just read the receivers manual and setup is pretty easy. Even my wife, who usually doesnt care about such things, was impressed that she can stream music and control it all from her phone. My first Yamaha system. Kudos to them, it will likely not my last system.
Can you make it so the server library can take up the full screen when browsing dlna. Right now it is confined to the lower left 1/4 corner of the screen. It cuts off lots of text.
Love my new box. The app is good but the interface is kinda clunky. It would be great to have some other controls as well. Being able to select your speaker zones in the app would be cool
I love my Yamaha networked receiver and this controller app has a lot of great functions. The only thing its missing is the ability to activate and deactivate speaker zones. This is sort of a hassle as I have to go upstairs to change the zones with the remote. I would love it if Yamaha could include this feature in future releases.
For now (7 days) good app for controlling device but Im disappointed that its not seeing all my muscic on my NAS. I must turn my coputer, enter the songs or folder properties and then app can read the file :( One time app didnt saw my hi-fi when it was Off. Also using internet radio isnt user friendly. For example adding favorite station is possible only by webpage of vtuner. My friend has a Denon device and he can do that in his app...

Some bad moments

English: Very poor performance & heavy latency when streaming music from iPhone. Support: Please enable recovery of the previous but stable version 4.11!!! I use the app with Yamaha CD-N500. German: Nach Update auf Vers. 4.20 Aussetzer und Latenzen beim Streaming vom iPhone (iOS7) oder iPad mini (iOS7.0.2). Vorige Version lief dahingehend stabil. Bitte schnelles Update nachliefern!!!
Internet radio station search does not work at all now (loading... all the time). Poor cooperation with MyBookLive 3TB (Twonky) - music search does not work. Why not see the title of a song or folder in full when press and hold the title in list view? Please bring back this feature.
HI! Today I upgraded CD-N500 to ver. 2.0 and Networok Player Controller to ver. 4.1 on my iPod. Now app cannot find any server in my network.... ^( Before the upgrade all used to work PERFECT!!! Any help highly appreciated... Karol
