I have been using it for several years. It’s clean, fast and does not have any bugs that I can find. The best thing about it in my opinion is that it is not cluttered with a bunch of useless things that get in the way of simply enjoying the music. It does not have the typical eye candy like other apps with lots of cute icons and flashing colors. The app creator still actively supports the product and continues development. This one simply works well. Highly recommended! ### 4/5 — Slick remote for Foobar2000 *2024-02-28* MonkeyMoteHD is a very polished controller for Foobar2000. It is responsive, orderly and has a pleasing interface. It presents the songs and you can play them, re-order them a little. However, one of the reasons I use Foobar2000 is its complex multi-functionality. MonkeyMoteHD does not present a lot of the richness of Foobar2000. If I had to choose one feature it would be metadata editing. Somehow, the slightest discrepancy in tags looks worse in MonkeyMoteHD’s crisp columns and I want to fix them right then and there. Still, for remote control of Foobar2000, this is the best. ### 5/5 — Old but still the best foobar2000 streaming client by far *2024-02-16, version 2.0.5* I’ve been using foobar2000 since ancient time and found out about Monkeymote in 2015 and never looked back. If you are good at foobat2000 setup, this is by far the most useful piece of component. Highly recommended for someone who is reasonably tech savvy. ### 5/5 — BEST remote for Foobar2000 *2022-03-29, version 2.0.5* This is almost a magical app for anyone with Foobar2000. I also have the Eole skin on my F2K and this app matches that on my iPad. It even controls the Radio Paradise and Folk Alley or any other internet radio stations that you configure in F2K. I had a question on an issue that I see mentioned here in the reviews. So I reached support and Martin was super responsive. The concern was related to the app not having STOP button which causes F2K not releasing the audio driver to other app like Spotify Connect or other players. The resolution is to HOLD the PAUSE key, which functions as STOP. In my books, this is a fantastic app that I highly recommend. Thank You for the wonderful app! ### 1/5 — Album grid is broken on iPad Air 4 *2020-12-19, version 2.0.5* Pls fix ### 3/5 — Doesn't work in iPhone *2020-07-29, version 2.0.5* I have purchased the paid version using iPad. To my surprise this cannot be used in iPhone. It's not fair as I have to purchase it again for iPhone. Besides, this one sometimes has hiccups in auto connecting to server. Interface is good, and the app is user friendly when it works correctly. Please address issue with supporting both iPad and iPhone when purchased for one. ### 4/5 — File browser in addition to static library (foobar2k) *2020-04-24, version 2.0.5* Pretty good app, works and all that. But I’d like to be able to browse drives without having to dedicate a library (i have numerous drives with various content). The android app does this and for me it’s very convenient. If you’re using this to control a server where you’re not reintroducing drives, it’ll be fine. db ### 2/5 — Good when it works *2020-03-22, version 2.0.5* It doesn’t detect my foobar ### 1/5 — It's always a hoot when new interesting-sounding features are completely undocumented *2018-04-05, version 1.9.5* You get one star until you explain how custom track details works instead of just throwing it out there like it's going to immediately make sense. ### 5/5 — Can’t get it to work *2018-02-01, version 1.9.4* Can’t get it to work ## Frequently asked questions about MonkeyMote for foobar2000 HD ### What does MonkeyMote for foobar2000 HD do?
