User reviews

Brilliant app

If you have Roon, and have an Apple Watch, and know your way around a raspberry pi then this app is for you!
I think it’s terrific. Love controlling my music from my watch.
The app itself is fast, beautiful, and intelligently designed.

Does not work

Nope

Perfect!

Beautifully designed, easy to use, easy to set up. This is exactly what I needed for my portable rig, which is awkward to get out of my pockets.

Bravo!
