Please give us some Themes !!!
Pretty please with sugar on it???
Needs Home Pod support
Will find my Apple TV units but not the HomePods which are my main source of music from my library
So absurdly basic and finicky
This functionality should be built straight into Apple Music
Works perfectly on iPod Touch and iPad, forget it on iPhone
I have this app installed on my iPod Touch, iPad and iPhone (14 Pro) and have to say that the user experience on the iPhone could not be more different than on my other two devices.
On the iPod and iPad, it instantly displays my TV and Music libraries, lets me browse easily through my albums and TV series, the thumbnails load in quickly and all in all it’s a completely hassle-free experience.
On the iPhone, it just doesn’t work. Ever.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app dozens of times, have paired it with my library dozens of times and yet every single time it fails to find my libraries. Every. Single. Time.
It has to be the single most frustrating app Apple has created and on the iPhone I cannot recommend it.

It’s ok - not great
The app works ok - it’s a bit limited - I.e. when I browse by artist I can’t then browned by album for that artist - all the artist’s albums are simply shown as a list - which means if I start playing one album it keeps playing on into the next one. I’m happy to work with Apple if any assistance is required. Thanks

Remote control your windows laptop. 😎
What can I say other than how convenient to not have to sit at your laptop enjoying iTunes (at least all the time). If you wanted to have a rest or a lay down, you can now choose what music you want to play whilst being away from the laptop using your iPhone as a remote like you would do a remote for the tele. About the only thing it can’t do is turn your laptop off and shut it down, nor the switch at the wall. 😜.. a great addition to the ever expanding arsenal of apps and tech.

Sync me Tin Tin, when it’s good it’s really good.
This app gives you freedom from the desktop and runs great with my ipad. Sometimes it has to ‘digest’ added playlists and artwork. But give it time and it will. Some playlists have odd behaviour. One Songlines award list has over 40,000 songs, it’s a group of some 30 odd titles that repeat (almost) ad infinitum. I used it for burning in my digital cables over a weekend!

Stable and constant
Remote is one of those apps that has always been there and doesn’t change much or get huge upgrades. I use it to manage my local music library on a dedicated retired Mac to play music throughout the house on various AirPlay devices.
Three stars because it’s average, not awful, not great. It always connects, and it’s consistent in its behaviour. The UI is OK, a bit sluggish in album view loading all those album covers, but it’s familiar and functional and free.
There are other music managment apps and platforms to play with but this one has hung around and not developed needlessly or got bloated with ads and junk, so I’m keeping it.

Does the job but could be better
It does the basic job. But…
It would be nice if it had more of the functionality of the Music (FKA iTunes) app such as list albums by artists when in album view and show the recently added albums.
It also needs a faster way to load album artwork (perhaps offer the option of maintaining a local cache?). The current process is slow especially with large libraries and only ever shows a handful.

No options or lyrics
Currently no options to sort the order albums are displayed in. By year would be nice. No option to view lyrics of songs. Above issues are basic functionality that is lacking. Not updated in a decade. Yawn.
