Wants you to load other crap on other machines. Complete waste of time, money and resources. ### 1/5 — Great idea, but no support *2015-07-24, version 12.5* After findling with this for about a week, I was unable to get working. The app that claims it free, seems to want me to pay. I tried contacting support before writing this but there was no repsonse. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2013-07-20, version 10.7* Just wasted $3 and an hour and a half of my Saturday morning trying to coax this monstrosity into working . First you have to load a program on your pc, and the set up is buggy and hard to navigate. When I finally got that to appear to be working, the ipad app said the serving wasn't running even though there was a green light on the of server program. I gave up after a time and uninstalled. Use google play access apps instead - you don't get to access the itunes playlists but you can make new ones. ### 1/5 — Crap *2012-02-17, version 8.2* Sloppy coding, a different error every minute. It is not necessary to have iTunes running nor is it useful to copy all media files into the program files (using double the disk space) and uninstalling is a nightmare of errors too! Can't turn off auto startup/can't uninstall once it's running. I feel like I need a full virus scan now. Try StreamToMe and it's companion server, ServeToMe. It's a neatly done small program that doesn't take over your computer and is very unobtrusive. I wish I could give zero stars to this junk. ### 1/5 — Don't buy. Horrible *2011-10-27, version 7.4* This software does not work. I emailed support and never heard back. I'm requesting a full refund. Don't waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2011-07-09, version 6.3* This app is not easy to configure and set up. I've tried several times to get it to work and nothing has worked. The instructions they send aren't very helpful. The concept is awesome but the useability is nonexistent. I wish the developers would fix it already!!!! ### 1/5 — StreamTunes *2011-01-09, version 4.2* I wanted to like this app. Really. The app requires a client on your pc and also that you open a port on your router. The client works ok but when I tried to configure the iPad app, there is no place to set the location of your pc. Support seems non existent so I would avoid this app for now. ### 1/5 — Only a frustration *2010-12-18, version 0* Update: 18 Dec. While it worked in a rough way at first, trying to use this app has been nothing but frustrating and it usually doesn't work at all. Even with the 17 Dec update it is incredibly unstable. They really should advertise this as a beta product. I give up!! Previous comments: I could not get the Streamtunes iphone app to work at all at first. It was only via the Safari browser interface I initially got it to work, and this after about an hour of trying to figure out how to get the right port on my router to be open to allow for the iphone to connect to the media server you install to go along with Streamtunes. In using the Safari interface to view the songs, videos etc.. in my itunes library, you cannot search by artist or album... it's one big, long list of songs... so if you have a big library of songs.... trying to get to the right song is a pain, and there seemed to be no option to play an entire album. Just individual songs (or videos). Although you can stream playlists. Next day, I tried the iPhone app again... Not sure why, but now it works. The app interface is slicker than the safari interface. Still lists songs as one big long list, but with the app you can search by key word. Best way to use the app is by making playlists on iTunes that you can then use the app to stream. One feature that's somewhere between neat and weird is the monitor feature, which allows you to see what is on your home computers screen in real time. So it didn't work at first, now it does - but no idea what caused it to start working. Overall an okay app that is confusing to set up. Would like to be able to sort songs by artist or album. ### 1/5 — Missed with Apple *2010-12-08, version 0* This App was not able to work with my IMac! Wasted my Money ### 2/5 — Works but not fun to setup *2010-11-28, version 0* And also it only works from browser so app is total crap ## Frequently asked questions about iStreamTunes ### What is iStreamTunes? iStreamTunes allows you to stream your entire iTunes music library from your Windows PC to your iPhone or iPad.
