MonkeyMote Music Remote HD

Works great with iPhone and iPad. Live it.

I have an old Dell laptop as my media server using JRiver. The Dell's wireless card stopped working, so I used a Network Repeater to give me a wired connection between my router and my Dell. The repeater is limited to 2.4 Wireless N, while my router is a dual band Wireless AC. Initially, MonkeyMote couldn't find my laptop across the 5G connection to my router. So I tried connecting my iPad to the Wireless Repeater (which is what my Dell was plugged into) and MonkeyMote had no trouble finding my lapt. I resigned myself to the slower speeds of the repeater initially, but got so ticked off that I decided I would simply change my WiFi connection on the iPad whenever I needed to control MonkeyMote. To my surprise, using the 5G connection on my iPad, MonkeyMote was still available. Whether this is due to MonkeyMote or the two routers, I'll never bother to figure that out; it just works without any issue. As far as MonkeyMote, the media interface is far superior than Apple's own Remote app to control iTunes. Once I got it through the networking hurdles, it has been flawless at controlling JRMC. For $3, I am surprised at how well it works. The folks at MonkeyMote deserve an AttaBoy.

Trying to keep things aligned between devices and stereo is a job, but is unavoidable. Nail down the addresses.

We have been using Mediamonkey for our home music system for a several years and have been using Monkeymote for over a year. Monkeymote is far superior to our old standard using Apple Remote on an iPad. It is much, much faster to show the albums in a large music collection, which was my growing complaint with Apple Remote. It also has superior displays of the music playing and queued. Recommended highly.

This is one of my best apps. Awesome!

Does not work with pono version of Jriver.

Monkeymote pairs so well with Media Monkey Love it !

I have almost over 3 terabytes of lossless music on my hard drive. Any album, artist or song is a couple taps away on my iPad. Bliss.

Sit on the back porch and control the music, have the full media monkey on the computer and works sooth as silk.

This app does what it says it does and it does it easily..from set up to actual use. Reminds me of the feeling that I got using VisiCalc for the first time on an Apple II so many years ago. Highly recommend.
