垃圾app

app太过简单,操作极不人性化,体验极不爽又卖得贵,竟然卖88元,申请退款又不被拒绝,居然被当一回猪,宰了

アルバムの区分けが未熟

JRMCでは別々のアルバムになっているのがJRemoteは一つのアルバムにまとめられている。他のアプリも使用しているがJRMCと同様に区別されている。
アルバムを判断するのにタグのアルバム名のみで判断されているのでは?
アルバムアーチストも一緒に判断しないと同じアルバム名なんて当たりまえに存在する。
是非、改善をお願いしたい。

Solid app overall that could be great

Been using this app for many years. Great overall interface and reliable for home media playback. There are a few things that could take it to another level:

1) Fix the quirks in the UI. Particularly on iPad, the floating playback controls at the bottom
are too high up and there is a large gap with whatever you are browsing behind it. Should be closer to bottom with no way of clicking anything accidentally behind it. The close out playing now list on the right also partially covers up this controls at bottom.

On the iPhone, when you click into a list of tiles, there is a 1+ inch gap at the top of the screen before the list of files are shown. Looks odd and doesn’t happen on iPad.

The folder icons look old school and should either be fanned cover art or fronting more modern looking.

2) While CarPlay support technically works, it is super slow to load, navigate and play audio files. Also the process for connecting should be streamlined so essentially the app can run in the background on iPhone, and all the user has to do is open the app in the CarpPlay interface and ‘it just works’.

3) Would love to see offline storage and playback options. Media Center on windows does not sync with iPhone so a way to do that with JRemote would be amazing. There is another app that works with Media Center that does this, buts it’s cumbersome to use and the overall polish of JRemote is lacking.

4) Finally there is no HDR video playback support. There are many other iOS apps that have offered this for years including Plex and Infuse.

Real good remote App working at it’s best

I use this over 6 years and am fully satisfied. I love to have full control over JRiver on Windows and to control everything with my iPad Pro. But one critic point. There was the function to use JRemot in theatre mode to swipe to various sections, even to shutdown the laptop. Since a couple of month this does not work any longer. Known issue? Please give a feedback.

Useful app for JRiver Media Center users

Overall, great app for controlling Media Center remotely from an ℹ device.

Would be a big improvement to be able to shuffle the list of songs presented when you get search results. Make the results a temporary playlist you can shuffle, sort, drag-and-drop song order and be able to save the resulting playlist.
