The barest bones app
It rarely connects to the computer for it to work properly
Seriously needs an update.
It gets two stars, not one, because it does ‘work’ to stream music around the house from my Mac, but…it’s very rudimentary, doesn’t continue playing music after you’ve chosen a song, the ‘add to up next’ type functions do not work at all, there’s no way to choose how you want things sorted/organized, etc.
This could be an amazing little app. Apple, please stop letting it languish!

Still works after all these decades!!!
Apple remote has been around forever, and it is a credit to Apple that it still works flawlessly when it comes to controlling Apple Music (and iTunes previously) from one’s iPhone. This is great for when one wants to preserve battery life on the iPhone and to stream to multiple speakers from the Mac.
Yes, it would be nice if remote could control podcasts, too, on the Mac.

Understated hero
Working from home with my tunes on my mac, and my work laptop separate, I get access to my entire library, and don’t need to see my mac screen to adjust or select the music. I love it’s simplicity. I can play ok any/all my HomePods across the house, and it’s just easy to use, and similar to the AM app too.

Not reliable.
Will not connect randomly. Volume level not consistent. Requires frequent restarts of music application. Very frustrating…
Broke with Golden Gate iOS 27
Used to work well. Since updating to iOS 27 only plays first song of the album selected then stops.
Fix the Tahoe problems
Users haven pointing out that the remote app doesn’t work properly with Tahoe Macs for over a year. Why hasn’t this been fixed yet?
Missing Features
It would be nice if you could add tracks to your playlists & create playlists from the remote as well.
It would also be better if you were able to have a column browser too

Great but seriously …
This is a really useful app. I use my Mac mini connected to a DAC and some nice speakers to run Apple Music with Hi-Res streaming. This app allows me to control that remotely. It’s extremely useful so I don’t see why Apple has stopped maintaining it. The only other way to play music is to airplay it from Apple Music on my phone. However, this is not HiRes. Apple - please maintain this app.

Needs Update
Please update this Apple.
Was good!
Used to be good. Now the play button disappears when playing across devices and often misses / losses a room on airplay which never used to happen.
Where’s my music
No access to my music. You want to charge me for a subscription, but won’t give me access to the music that I already paid for.
AirPlay Music to Sound System
Great to AirPlay my music from my MacBook to my home Sound System!
In need of a serious bit of TLC?
I have been using the Remote Control with my Apple Music Library recently in an effort to convince myself that it is a proper Apple product. I’m still wondering if Apple either never made it in the first place or have completely forgotten about it. If you compare it with e.g. the Remote for Audirvana (which I also use daily) the features in a modern Remote are simply absent. It is an infuriating mess.

My Patio
Controls my iTunes from my iPad and music from my PC to my wireless speakers on my Patio. It’s the greatest.
Keep it going
It’s a great app. I’ve been using it for almost 20 years to play music from my Mac around the house. I wish the AirPort Express devices would make a comeback. I’ve got 3, I use them daily to play music on my older HiFi’s
I use this app every day. It controls the music in our home.
Love this
Sweet
Remote! This is one of my favorite apps! It always works like it’s supposed to. And they don’t charge you or try to charge you for anything! 🥰
iTunes is amazing !
iTunes is the best way to enjoy a never ending selection of great music from all genres ! You can organize it and create playlists for all occasions or moods. ✔️ ❤️🎶👍
Apple gave up
This used to be a solid product but Apple has given up on it. They are letting it die on the vine.
