When used with a BlackBox Player, JoeCoRemote allows the user to modify playlists and select individual songs for live multi-channel playback. JoeCoRemote requires a JoeCo BlackBox unit and a JoeCo WiFi interface to achieve full connectivity.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JoeCoRemote at none against LTC's 1. JoeCoRemote also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16). LTC's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 13 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
