JRemote

Fast, reliable, looks good, regularly updated. Highly recommended

App works well. But I really wish you can control the DSP settings from the app.

A recent update fixed the problem of cover art (when in large view) was not changing when the song changed. Yeh! Here's another idea for improvement: When you search and pick an artist, you are then able to play all the songs by that artist. However, there's no control over the order of the songs. They just play through one album after another. Would be nice to have a shuffle button to mix up the playing order. Or maybe even better, create a temporary playlist where you could drag songs into the desired order. Then even more better, be able to name and save the resulting playlist!

I recently upgraded my Media Center license to “Master” license and this remote app was a main deciding factor. One can tell a lot of thoughts and ideas went into the app and it’s been a joy to use it. Thank you for maintaining the app over the years and wish the team the best !

The description is misleading. The app is not a full remote at all. It does what JPanel does and little more. I was expecting, among other features: - to be able to use the television feature - to see the streaming bookmarks I added to the streaming menu - to be able to adjust Options without going to the computer None of these and other features I was expecting are available OR if they are available are hidden in a thread somewhere on a bulletin board and not readily accessible. I thought I would have something resembling the standard menu structure but instead have essentially JPanel with the ability to turn off the computer. In brief, a waste of money and subsequently time in trying to search on line to retrieve instructions and fixes. Time and money, indeed life is too valuable for essentially no value added software. JRiver Media Center is good. JRemote is not.

Having spent a good amount of time using JRiver, Audirvana, and Roon (among others), I ultimately decided to stick with JRiver. (As an aside, they all sound the same to me - which is to say great - but I know there is ongoing debate about this). Sure maybe the UI is not as polished a Roon, or as lightweight and familiar as Audirvana, but you can do so much more! And as for JRemote, I really don’t understand all the criticism. The app has always worked great for me and does everything that it claims to do, and does it well. It’s quick and sleek. Not nearly as steep of a learning curve as the desktop application. I recommend JRemote. Give it a try.

I’m glad to see recent investments in this terrific app for JRiver Media Center users (THE most powerful media manager and player ever). However, there is a glaring shortcoming with the app that really should be addressed. When playing music in the app and you tap the small cover art button in the lower left, the cover art expands to full screen, which is great. But when the song changes, the cover art doesn’t change to match the currently playing tune. I like to keep my iPad open so people I’m entertaining can see what’s now playing. The PC program keeps up with song changes. Please make the app do the same!

An excellent app for listening to all my NAS music via JRiver Media player. It also work great as a remote to control the music fro other zones where I might be playing the music. The Cloudplay lists are getting better and so easy to download onto Media Player and then they appear on this app. Would be good to include the cloudplay on this app so you could stream directly. Otherwise love it. Have used it in my car and can access all my sounds stored on my NAS.

Have v. 3.36 installed on iPhone and iPad. Using MC 30 and the volume slider does nothing. That’s likely to be the most often used button on the remote and no volume control renders the remote useless for me.

I’m fairly happy with the app and it’s functionality. However, when you tap the album thumbnail in the lower left for the song currently playing, the album art displays Ed, full screen, which you’d expect. However, if you leave the full screen displayed, the cover art does not refresh to sync with the subsequent songs being played.
