What's New in iTunes Remote
4.5.1
February 27, 2020
⁃ Support for Apple Music and the Apple TV apps in macOS Catalina
⁃ Support for Dark Mode with iOS 13 and later
I think that this is really nice to control music on my Mac and it works so well at doing it too with low latency and all that! It could use the benefit from a refresh or having this built into the Apple Music on iPhone too. The menus feel clunky and feels old. Making it look more like the music app or integrating it in there altogether would be a great addition. Having this feature is really nice though and would be better if it got an update. Apple, please give this hidden gem of an app a little love.
