Why do you take away features that we use?
So far I haven’t been impressed with many of the changes since Apple decided to chop iTunes in half. Why did you take away the Airplay button? Now I have to go to my computer to make iTunes connect to my Apple TV via Airplay (which is still way faster than loading from the Apple TV!) Before I could connect it from the app while sitting on my couch. Also, there’s no Airplay setting in the Apple TV app that will maintain the preference to automatically Airplay to your Apple TV like before. Why take that away? It worked so great before! Now I have to select it from my computer every time that I want to watch anything. I have purchased ALL the Apple things like you wanted me to, why won’t they play well together?!

Cool concept. Misses the mark for Apple Music subscribers
Remote is a cool concept. It lets me adjust the Music volume playing on my Apple TV or iMac from my iPhone or iPad. In theory, it could also let me change what’s playing.
The in theory part is that I subscribe to Apple Music and have had my subscription for over 5 years. Remote let’s me select among “my” recordings in my Apple library. This is basically the music I ripped or purchased before I started subscribing to Apple Music. It does not let me select Apple Music subscription tracks. It does not let me select Apple Music radio stations. At this point it basically lets me select tracks I’m not very interested in. That’s really limiting.

Excellent
Great app allowing me to control the operation of my music and media library from my BBQ and entertaining area.
Guests chose their favourite tunes to add to the playlist

Remote app
This could be a very good app and it should be but it just seems unstable. It would occasionally freeze preventing you to gain access to your music. This is frustrating. Sometimes it can’t find the library. On one occasion I have had to stop home sharing and enable it again because it couldn’t find the library.
One function I use occasionally is the fact you can play your music in a different part of the house that has a WiFi enabled amp!

Constantly forgetting library
Have to constantly reconnect the library and the UX procedure to do so is an appallingly bad process and always takes a few minutes to once again “re-learn” how to do it.
Not very good
This app is trash, it almost never connects to your tv
Sometimes yes and sometimes no
It is a very shaky app... works then it doesn’t.
Amazing for my complex set up!
I have 4 receivers which power up 11 sets of speakers. Each receiver is hooked up via 3.5mm to RCA cable to Airport Express hubs.
From the app I can control which receiver is to pick up the feed and the volume of each receiver. I have music outside and inside so the different volumes are great to have.
Being able to create a basic playlist is awesome because any guest can grab my phone and pick out songs they want to hear. All the music is stored on iTunes on my Mac.
In hindsight I could have used a wireless system like Sonos but intimately this was way less expensive.
Love the app!

Pourri
Probablement la pire application de contrôle d’une boîte noire qu’il y a moyen d’imaginer au XXIème Siècle...
