### 4/5 — Fonctionne bien ! (2026)

*2026-08-02*

La seule appli qui fonctionne sur Winamp 2.26, version ok sous Windows 10, avec tous les plugins qui vont bien…

Ça fait le taf (accès distant à Winamp), quelques petits bugs, m quelques interfaces a retravailler un peu mais on apprend bien à s’en servir et à pouvoir contrôler Winamp à distance ! MERCI !!

### 3/5 — Oh dear why would you Devs?

*2019-08-09, version 2.1.1*

You had the look perfect. Why would you go and change to that horrible green from black/blue. At least give us the option of skin we like. I get the ad thing at the bottom. You guys need to make money buy why ruin the look. Next Dev meeting please add skin option to the agenda...please 

Any one reading this for review. App is really 4 star. Yes it has bugs like sometimes you have to reinstall the pc software to get it to work again but overall it is a good app if you have your pc, media Center attached to your TV and want easy play options. I tried a few and settled on this. I DID love the look of it but they just changed that. 

Overall worth the download. I will give it 5 stars once they let me chose skin and they repair that bug (which they may have done in this update. I have just not checked as I was shocked with the new colour.)

### 4/5 — Really Great Application!!

*2014-11-22, version 1.5*

This is the first and only remote app I've ever downloaded, so I don't really have much to compare it to...but after reading reviews of other WMP remotes, this app is awesome!  It's very simple...download app, then download software to install on your PC and you're in business.  The only thing it's missing, in my book, is a button that rewinds what you're watching like 10 seconds...something similar to what DirecTv or Dish have on their remotes.  If it had the rewind function, 5 stars all the way!  This app really is AWESOME!!

### 2/5 — Na teoria deveria funcionar bem

*2013-08-07, version 1.3.1*

Funciona quando quer. A idéia é muito boa, mas precisa melhorar a resposta de rede e travar menos. Sugiro aguardar ajustes no programa.

### 4/5 — Tricky start

*2013-07-23, version 1.3.1*

Similar to other comments I had troubles with the app at first (apart from downloading it was easy, so I have no idea what that guy was on about). But after reading the help FAQ in the app, I just had to change some setting in WMP and now it works great...
Only let down is it doesn't detect some file types.

### 2/5 — Music enthusiast

*2013-06-02, version 1.3.1*

Got it working but does NOT stay connected, and app freezes up every time! Would be great if the app didn't freeze up!

### 3/5 — Good but could be better.

*2013-03-19, version 1.3.1*

Nice to have an alternative to using iTunes and the remote app. Agree with a previous reviewer suggested a search facility. 
Being able to browse your music library should be pretty standard. 
Still, the app works.

### 4/5 — Video

*2012-09-27*

Mir fehlt noch der Support bei Videos, also auch bei videowiedergabe den Player steuern.

### 4/5 — Good app overall.

*2012-07-19, version 1.3.1*

As pointed out by some other reviews the app works best with playlists. There is a lot of room for functionality improvements but the app as all the core features I was looking for.

 Well worth the cost and with come small updates in the future could be everything the iTunes remote app is.

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-02-01, version 1.3.1*

fast and simple.

### 4/5 — Apenas algumas correcoes e fica perfeito

*2012-01-05, version 1.3.1*

Muito bom o programa, ideia muito boa de controlar o wmp pq estamos acostumados a ele. Precisa apenas melhorar a rapidez e confiabilidade na atualizacao da lista de reproducao pelo celular e tambem add a opcao de deletar a lista de dispositivos que ja foram conectados, lista essa que situa-se na primeira tela do app.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work well

*2016-04-26, version 1.5*

Started off fine, but lost connectivity and couldn't find host computer. Tried everything to get it working again including reinstating but no luck

### 1/5 — Mac not Suported

*2014-12-11, version 1.5*

The server application that is required is for PCs not Macs. $1.99 for nothing.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2013-12-02*

Scheint prinzipiell zu gehen, aber unter IOS 7 hängt sich die iPhone app immer auf.

### 1/5 — Worked once...

*2013-07-02, version 1.3.1*

Only worked the day I downloaded it..the host won't open anymore and it doesn't work with mp4!

### 1/5 — Non functioning

*2013-06-18, version 1.3.1*

App is currently non functioning for my windows 7 pc. I have tried reinstalling the pc software, and the app. The issue probably has to do with the fact this has not been updated since 2011?

### 1/5 — Its a scam!

*2012-06-24, version 1.3.1*

WmpRemote server download link for your pc is a dead link, i just wasted my money on this thing,

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2019-12-07, version 2.1.1*

Excelente trabaja muy bien se puede abrir remotamente el winamp/Windows media igual se puede escoger las carpetas con música el volumen trabaja rápido en sí muy buena app,,,en iOS 9 se cierra y ya no se puede abrir

### 5/5 — Flawless

*2019-03-21, version 2.0*

Few apps are as perfectly functional and I’m not one for hyperbole. Controls are snappy and the app stable. I’ve been using it to cycle through songs in a Windows Media Player playlist and no issues.

### 5/5 — Top

*2019-01-09*

Funktioniert einwandfrei!! Einfach die Hostdatei downloaden, starten und schon kann’s losgehen. Top!! 
Besser als Wmote App!

### 5/5 — This App Is Great!!!!!!!!!

*2018-06-22, version 2.0*

Have been looking for iPhone app to control my media library on a Windows 7 computer and this is it. It works great, intuitive, functional, I can’t find any faults. I love it, I wish my Cambridge Connect app functioned half as good as this does. If your looking for a remote control app for media player your search is over!

### 5/5 — Muy buena

*2014-12-12, version 1.5*

Esta super, cumple con lo que dice

### 5/5 — New Windows 8 Server fixes app

*2013-11-23, version 1.4*

And now I can use this again- thanx, guys. When you update the app- PLEASE do not make it "iOS 7 only!"

There is a hidden installation step:
I'll list that here so you can try it.

1) open Windows Media Player
2) Right click on top of player, choose "More Options"
3) Go To "Plugins"
4) Scroll Down to "Background"
5) Put a CHECK in the box that says "uICE WMP PLUGIN"
6) Close out the options, WMP will now immediately open in the Remote App.

ALSO and MOST IMPORTANT: In Re to the guy who stated that there is a VIRUS in the SERVER SOFTWARE: What bloody AV are you using that gives such BLATANT FALSE POSITIVES? There is ABSOLUTELY NO VIRUS, TROJAN or ROOTKIT in the install package or the files it extracts...  This thing is 100% SAFE. It uses DOT NET 2.0 as a framework, I suggest uninstalling whatever AV detected the virus, and installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5.0! And MalwareBytes too. But I suspect you did not find a virus at all, Else you would have identified it like I would have right?

It's Great! Works rather well... I hope "they" continue to develop it, the only thing lacking is a way to switch to FULL SCREEN from the remote itself.

### 5/5 — Zwar nicht gerade günstig, aber trotzdem sehr zu empfehlen!

*2013-11-06*

Der Preis lässt einen zwar nachdenken, aber es hat sich gelohnt! Man kann die Namen der Titel in einer Liste sehen und man sieht auch bei wie viel Sekunden das Lied gerade ist und wie lange es noch läuft! Dazu sind alle Funktionen gegeben! 

Bin auf trotzdem auf ein Update gespannt was Design für IOS 7 angeht ;)

### 5/5 — Kein Support mehr!?

*2013-10-29*

Von der Idee her ist die App Super. Leider gibt es mit dem neuen iOS 7 Probleme beim öffnen und erstellen von Wiedergabelisten. Dazu kommt dann noch, dass der Support nicht antwortet.... Schade! :(

### 5/5 — Works perfect.

*2012-12-24, version 1.3.1*

Works 100% perfect. Definitely not a scam (no idea what that guy is talking about) if you can't get this to work then I suggest you see a doctor because it's so easy. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a remote.

### 5/5 — Flawless

*2012-06-24, version 1.3.1*

I'm really happy with this app it works flawlessly and there are so many features.
I was having trouble working it at one point but the problem was resolved with a quick look at the in app help page :) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
