Now I'm able to centralise all my music and stream it to my phone on demand! ### 5/5 — good but needs more function *2015-06-07, version 1.5.7* If there is better file management ### 5/5 — Great App! *2015-06-04, version 1.5.7* The app does what it is supposed to do. It controls foobar2000 running on a Windows 8 tablet. The transfer of music from the tablet to the iPad, when used< works great, allowing me to then us Airplay to stream music to my AV system. Updates when they come are always improvements. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great! *2015-02-14, version 1.5.5* I use this app daily. Has everything you need, nothing you don't. Regular updates. Must have for any Foobar user. ### 5/5 — Best of its type *2015-01-21, version 1.5.3* I used to use a similar product that worked with Winamp, but this is much better as the other kept losing connection. This app needs to have the IP address added manually, but once it's done then everything works as advertised. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-11-02, version 1.5.1* C'est extras, moi toute ma musique est sur un serveur en format wave, flac et aiff, je peu vous dire que c'est parfait même à 30m de distance je suis capable de faire le lien avec foobar2000. J'aurais aimer une liaison blutooth car de temps à autre la connexion en wi fi fait défaut, c'est le seul inconvénient. On voit toutes les pochettes, très convivial, on peu même jouer avec les paramètres tel que le son melanger les pièces..... ### 5/5 — Perfect *2014-10-27, version 1.5.1* Works perfectly with foobar2000 updates seamlessly. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-10-22, version 1.5.1* Perfect, exactly like it should be. Even more useful than original foobar2000 interface. ### 5/5 — Terrific *2014-09-14, version 1.4.10* This app does just about everything I want. The only possible suggestion I would make is to enable sorting by last name but displaying by full name. So Bill James Alvin Jones Instead of Alvin Jones Bill James But that's quibbling. I can live with this one minor issue because the rest of the app is just fantastic. Thanks ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2014-08-29, version 1.4.10* Works reliably, looks awesome, well supported. This app is everything I could ask for. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Drives me crazy *2014-07-29, version 1.4.10* Amazing App!!!! I did have problems maintaining a connection but I was relying on the auto detection. Now I've figured out how to do the manual connection it works perfectly. Brilliant interface, I have it on the high res cover setting, it looks great and I bought the streaming feature works brilliantly. If you have Foobar2000, buy this!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Album grid is broken on iPad Air 4 *2020-12-19, version 2.0.5* Pls fix ### 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. ### 1/5 — bad *2014-04-08, version 1.4.7* i have nothing but problems with this app...first, it is never found the server from the first time, i have always ended up getting up from my chair and restarting foobar at least once...while listening music app is often loosing connection with the server...again, get up and restart foobar or both...sort by date never worked for me...i press sort by date but nothing happens...and on top of that after the last update it can't find the server anymore?! i have tried everything but it can't make a connection...it is nothing but a pain using this app...i wouldn't recommend this to anyone... ### 2/5 — Good when it works *2020-03-22, version 2.0.5* It doesn’t detect my foobar ### 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. ### 3/5 — Great app with great flaw *2015-07-04, version 1.5.7* I have only one criticism for this app. Controls are unreasonably small, especially volume control. Theres no need to crumble buttons and sliders like that. I wish there was alternative with big controls and small or hidden playlist. Otherwise great app, I recommend. ### 3/5 — A good start *2015-01-01, version 1.5.3* Needed features: - The ability for us to define custom views for the left pane, ability to remove views we don't want. - Recently Added albums view, ordered descending. - Year/Artist/Album view - Quicker access to currently playing playlist that is richer showing art as well - Default album view by year descending - Artist view should show the artwork of the most recent album, small is all that is required. - Advanced search that will show albums and artists not just a long list of tracks - Show all track artists not just the first. Further stability improvements: Sometimes it hangs bringing back the album list. I've seen it not show artwork until I restarted foobar. ### 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. ### 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 ### 4/5 — Pretty good app *2014-09-13, version 1.4.10* It does most of everything that I would want and really easy to learn. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — MonkeyMoteHD review *2024-04-15, version 2.0.5* This is an outstanding app, especially when used with Foobar2000 and an iPad. 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! ### 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! ### 5/5 — Can’t get it to work *2018-02-01, version 1.9.4* Can’t get it to work ### 5/5 — Great remote interface *2017-05-15, version 1.8* Connect your Media PC running Foobar 2000 to your HiFi via a DAC and enjoy bitperfect sounds using your iPad as a super slick remote thanks to this great app! Regularly updated as well. ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-05-12, version 1.8* I've been using Monketmote for about a year with foobar2000 and it's great. I can breeze through my 1.2 TB of music with the flick of a finger and control my source from anywhere within my wifi range! I would say this, if you're using foobar2000 on a computer and going out through HDMI into a modern receiver, add the WASAPI add on in foobar to bypass windows audio processing, it helps eliminate jitter and makes flac files sound every bit as good as the original disc. Also you can increase buffer size in foobar, that helps too. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — Easy and effective *2017-02-01, version 1.7.1* It took about 10 minutes to set up. The app did not automatically detect my computer so I had to enter its IP address manually. Then it all worked. I found the streaming icon on the bottom right, pressed it, and it streams to my iPad Pro. I use flac and it sends up to 96 kHz to the iPad, which is the iPad's limit in any case. I connect to Chord Mojo dac/amp and to fine headphones and it all just works. I only needed to do the installation program on the computer side and it required no further configuration. So this is going to be a very heavily used app. Just what I was looking for. ### 5/5 — 최고의 리모콘 앱 *2016-12-13, version 1.7* 음악듣는게 즐거워 졌음 ### 5/5 — Remarkably good! *2016-01-21, version 1.6.1* Easy to configure, easy to navigate even large collections, and great playback controls. The stream-to-device IAP is the icing on the cake. If you have a PC connected to your system and use foobar, or want to make your FLAC library portable around the house, this is a no-brainer. ### 5/5 — Use it daily *2016-01-13, version 1.6.1* A really functional and stable front end for foobar2000. Use it as the GUI for my headphone rig. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
