### 1/5 — Not usable on IPhone

*2026-03-13, version 2.2.2*

I do not like this app as there are too many things I have to do to make this happen, such as download iTunes and don’t want to do that.

### 5/5 — Just Greed

*2025-12-12, version 2.2.2*

They want drip feeding cash every month and if you don't like that it's a one off payment of 35 pounds just to unlock it and stop the stupid adds monkeymote for winamp only wants 3 or so pounds to unlock 35 is just ridiculous app deleted I would rather get up and skip it

### 4/5 — This works fine

*2025-03-16*

It works well for my iPhone, but this needs to have options for audio switch to phone instead of my pc.

### 3/5 — Works great on laptop, not on IPhone

*2025-01-14*

I have had musicbee on my laptop for over a year and really recommend it. Today I downloaded the app to my IPhone and it fails to connect to my network, though IP address is correct. I am sure I could spend an hour figuring out the problem but have zero desire to do so….note: a quick dive into available documentation did not readily offer a useful solution.  I am removing the app and will try again in a few months to see if developers figure out for me

**Developer response:** There are multiple reasons why it’s not connecting in your local network. 
Try this:
1) Go to Settings in app, select Question mark icon on top, select Tutorial option
2) Follow installation and connection steps
3) If it still doesn’t work, follow the Troubleshooting section at the bottom

You can contact me via support email as well.

### 4/5 — Not bad at all

*2024-11-09*

But for playlist folders only one subfolder level is supported.
All further subfolder content is dumped into that first level.

### 2/5 — What’s the point? Only works on PC.  Cant stream to smart speakers.

*2024-10-15*

I can’t see the point of having a remote that only works on your PC.   Most of the time when you’re listening to music on your PC, you’re sitting at your PC.  Why would you need a remote for that?
What you do need a remote for is to play music on smart speakers, like when you’re outside at your BBQ and you want to steam from your PC and use the remote to control without having to go inside.  
Bizarre.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2024-06-10*

I was wondering if there was a way to control MusicBee from my phone and found this plugin and app. 
Couldn’t get it to work at first as it always said “Connection failed” but once I updated MusicBee to the current version it connected immediately. 
Thanks for creating this iOS version and offering a one-time-purchase option for a reasonable price!

### 4/5 — Pratique et propre

*2024-05-08*

Félicitations pour ce développement, malheureusement la version premium est vraiment un peu trop onéreuse.(achat in app non spécifiés)

### 1/5 — Трата времени

*2023-08-03*

Клоуны и сюда подписку засунули. Так она ещё и не работает в половине случаев, когда игра например запущена.

### 1/5 — leach

*2023-07-20, version 2.2.1*

charging a subricption for an add on for a free service
