Hi. Firstly thanks for this awesome app. Reaaaaaaly helpful in my projector room when im playing games and cant alt+tab with my controller. Only feature that seems to be missing is browse internet radio stations. Hope to see it implemented sometime. Other than that, just awesome app

This is a great app for controlling music bee remotely. My only qualm is (unless I'm missing something which is totally possible) that I am unable to stream the audio to my phone from the computer when connected. Other than that, works like a charm as a remote!

Did not work for me. I tried with 2 android devices and none of them could find the computer. I had installed the plugin and was connected to the same wifi network,yet none of the android devices could find the system. Could you let me know what i can do to make it work?

This is easily one of the best apps I have ever used. Controlling Musicbee without having to Alt-Tab out of full screen programmes and games is so easy and you can use your phone normally while being able to skip and pause songs from the pull down status bar at the top of the phone screen, even if you are on another app. The app is completely free and free of adverts and works very smoothly, without much more than a few milliseconds of delay. Absolutely brilliant!

This app is flawless, just like MusicBee (Let's face it, it's the best). It autosynced my library in less than a few minutes, and I have over 60.000 files! My favorite part about this app is it's WONDERFUL interface. It's my favorite colors, AND is a dark interface, which is how things SHOULD be default with all apps! This is a pleasure to use & I'm stoked to have it. The remote in the app "Unified Remote" for Musicbee really sucks & is lacking basically all necessary features. This is 1000x better at least. I don't understand how this doesn't have 5 stars. Even if there are issues, this is free, contains NO ads, is beautiful & mostly it just runs great. Little options though. PLEASE add an ability to sort by rating/make rating a category or whatever. This is how I manage my favorites most of the time, so it would really help. <3 Thanks for rocking my socks!

Amazing! I have a dedicated room for listening to and producing music. Whenever I'm listening to albums by myself or with guests I use this app to control the music while having my computer display off, which really creates a better atmosphere. Occasionally the app won't connect to MusicBee, but I've found restarting or resyncing seems to fix the issue. That is my one and only criticism, which is overshadowed by the ease and overall dependablity of the app.

Good remote Since I have updated to 7.0 nougat, iTunes remote doesn't work anymore. So it's a good excuse to dump iTunes all together, and use musicbee just because how good this remote is. Thanks dev!

I just reinstalled MusicBee on my computer and the Remote is working flawlessly now. I would like to extend my thanks to the developer for addressing my previous problem. Great app. High utility. And seamless integration. Now, how about an Android Wear addition? ;) God Bless

Amazing app with all its features! I am just wondering if it would be possible to stream folder structures in this app, I'd love to see that feature

Z70%
by Z####:

Does what it's supposed to. Controls basic functions of music bee without having to go to your computer. Would be great to rate or things up / down from widget.

H70%
by H####:

App is very useful and stable with no crashes! Would be great if it could also toggle Visualisations, Compact View, Now Playing View, Main View remotely etc.

M70%
by M####:

Too bad it's the only remote for Musicbee, as it barely works, constant disconnections, uncomfortable interface, and no visual display of the library

M70%
by M####:

Just brilliant! I've always used this app and the plug in but the latest releases that give the ability to browse and properly search the library have really made this app sparkle. Perfect. Thank you!

by H####:

My thanks to the developers for creating such a smooth running app for music bee. It would be very nice if you could include controls to the equalizer in future updates.

Great app. Works perfectly with musicbee which is so much better than itunes it isn't funny. Few little tweaks to improve but gets regular updates and fast response to queries.

Wonderful app but the UI is terrible I keep getting I to m3buw I don't want 4o BC it's too small for instance scrolling forward in a song often brings you to now plaxing

I70%
by I####:

Overall ok, but lacks the auto shutdown setting in the app and some small bugs could be fixed. More themes and better UI would be appreciated =)

M70%
by M####:

My only wish is for better tablet layout. Icons in the app are low resolution, etc. But overall a quite good way to control music playback on a PC

Stupid app cannot find any music if on SD card. Uninstalled

Great app. I just wish you could search through your playlists, instead of just shuffle them.

I am unable to connect to MusicBee with this app. I'm apparently always offline.

Удаленное управление для проигрывателя, благодаря которому я похерил всю локальную аудиотеку, перетащив папку с ней на окно проигрывателем? (все файлы оказались перенесены в корень папки библиотеки) - нет, спасибо.

My only complaint is that you can't swipe away the notification

The app works perfectly, though I can't understand why a remote app takes up almost half a gig of space.

The app is great and works very well!! It would be better if I could change the playlist from my phone.

I LOVE IT! This is amazing! I just wish it included the radio as well. I really miss that. With that, it would be PERFECT!

Κωνσταντίνε είσαι αρχηγός! Πάρα πολύ καλή δουλειά και εύχομαι να γίνει ακόμη καλύτερη. Προτάσεις και ιδέες για μελλοντική βελτίωση σίγουρα θα υπάρχουν πολλές, αλλά έπαθα το εξής: πάτησα πάνω σε μια playlist με πολλά τραγούδια που έχω, και ενώ περίμενα να δω πρώτα το περιεχόμενό της, αυτή μπήκε όλη στην ουρά αμέσως. Η ουρά γέμισε λοιπόν με δεκάδες τραγούδια και μετά αναγκάστηκα να τα σβήνω με swipe ένα ένα. Οπότε νομίζω καλά θα ήταν να μπορεί κανείς να: - δει το περιεχόμενο των playlists όταν πατά πάνω τους, και το queuing να γίνεται σε δεύτερο χρόνο - επιλέξει πολλά tracks (multiselection) πριν τα κάνει queue (αυτό για όλες τις περιπτώσεις, όχι μόνο για playlists) - σβήσει όλα τα tracks από την now playing λίστα με πάτημα ενός κουμπιού. Επίσης καλά θα ήταν να μπορεί να πάει κανείς γρήγορα από την οθόνη home στη now playing πχ. με swipe ή τέλος πάντων με ένα tap (όπως μπορεί κανείς να πάει από άλλες οθόνες στο home με την μπάρα που υπάρχει στο κάτω μέρος). Καλή συνέχεια και πάλι μπράβο για την άριστη εφαρμογή.
