Great app, could use a refresh

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.

Music app but not Apple TV app

Am I doing something wrong? The app connects to the music app on my MacBook but not Apple TV app, am I doing something wrong??

Still a great app to have

Only recently discovered the airplay2 capabilities of the Airport Express, so I now have house configured with multiple room audio via WiFi. The app works beautifully in allowing me to control the streams, monitor what is playing, control individual volume settings and even explore my entire iTunes library easily. For my use case, this really couldn’t be any better and iTunes is still a great option for housing a large music library. This app just pulls it all together nicely and ensures my focus is on enjoying the music.

Great App, could be more reliable

Slow to connect and has periodic disconnects, could be a Wifi router issue but the app is opaque in finding out why it happens.

No longer on Watch OS11

I love this app but I can’t use it from my watch anymore.

What’s the problem ?

What is the problem suddenly? It refuses to work. Arrows disappear. Only select works. Useless.

Needs updating

It was a fantastic app in its day when iTunes was king. Now there’s iTunes and Music. Music app has some technical updates iTunes doesn’t seem to have (at least in the remote app). ALL of my HomePod minis and ALL stereo HomePods are not recognized by this app. I play 95% of content from my Mac. When on the Mac, these systems are recognized and work as expected. Just through the app, it is not seeing these newer devices and their newer options. Please update the app to recognize HomePod minis and stereo HomePods.

Make Apple Great Again!

I’ve been using this app for what, 9 years now? It’s had its hits and misses but this app is one of the first things I got for my Apple culture at home and have used it religiously since. It’s one of those “gee-whiz” apps from back in the day. It’s still my trusty jukebox. Viva La Remote!!

Update: still using this app. For those of us with a large media library and AirTunes with multiple speakers (12 for me), this app is wonderful. Please keep it around Apple!
