Nice functionality, would be super useful if it could include AU plugin interaction

From the review history not many folks have reviewed this app for quite some time, and some of the early reviews reported issues. It did take some hunting to find Fidelia, but it works well enough now. It has a transparent sound and this remote app that makes computer audio music playback much more convenient and useful, especially since it can run AU plugins. If only the remote could offer adjustments on some AU parameters it would be great. I am hoping the developers are still active and will entertain an update to allow AU plugin interaction.

Good job.

Easier to find/play stuff out of my mountain of stuff than the otherwise underwhelming root application. Excellent really. Not 5* as there are no track repeat or playlist buttons. Upadate this and I will gladly award the full five stars😎

Unresponsive

Unresponsive on both my iPhone 13 and my iPad. Managed to connect it to my mac once but even then it didn’t do anything and the remote app has also been crashing. There do not seem to be any settings to access, and the user Manual on the developer’s website gave little information. I am very pleased with the main Fidelia app so far but this is disappointing.

Rarely do apps work as well as this...

I've been using Fidelia for some years for playback into a high-end hi-if system (and other systems not so high-end). No application that I've found has such superb sound quality and huge flexibility in set up.

Using my MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro as the source machine, I had a quick Google to see whether I could control Fidelia from my iPhone. This came up immediately at the absurdly low price of £0.89!

Bought it, downloaded it, opened it. Instantaneously it found my MacBook playing. Exactly what one wants is on there and no flannel; artist name, song name, track progress slider bar, prev, next, volume, dim and mute.

Perfect!

I have a number of Macs all running Fidelia so this will be very useful.

Wow. Legitimately doesn't function

The reviews said the search function was incredibly slow, but I didn't realize that meant waiting 15 minutes and still not a single song showing up. I assumed other bad reviews must have been user error. But this is literally a $10 brick of an app. It performs zero functional actions from what I can see. Downloaded an alternative. Definitely want a refund.

Fidelia Remote & Hi-res Player

Very disappointed! $40 & I can't even use it! Beware!

What he said VVV

Not getting much for a very expensive app. Would be nice at least have a shuffle option in the app. Also don't like how every time I'm scrolling through my music and pick a song it takes me to the play screen and I completely lose my place on my scroll search.

Solid, fast.

Found my Mac which is running the Fidelia desktop app immediately, so I was up and running in a few seconds. The app itself is nice and snappy, and provides all the remote functions that I need. It's not cheap, but I'll take quality over price every time.

Has never worked

Purchased in Dec 2015, has not worked since then.
Contacted Audiofile support who acknowledged the issue but provide no update on when it will be resolved.
£8 and much time wasted.

Definition of Amateur Hour

Stay away from this expensive app. It's a complete pOS. Horrible UI and will not play songs in order.

Their desktop app has some glitches as well however for the most part is useable.

Keep your money. These guys are taking the mickey on this one.
