    Mostly good
    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. Show more

    Not so great anymore!
    I use it in my old Ipad4 with a black theme. Now, when I start the app, it shows a distorted logo with a white background. Please remove this ugly thing, or just let us choose if we want this ugly logo with a white background when starting the app in the settings. Show more

    App needs a bit of love
    I'm pretty disappointed in the lack of app updates. It doesn't appear the devs are looking at the reviews.

    Best app to control JRiver
    I love setting up custom views in media server it makes it so easy to manipulate and navigate in J remote

    JRemote Beyond Perfect Companion To JRiver Server
    Wow, can’t say enough. I used windows media server orginally, ripped my entire CD collect to FLAC format on the window media server, but controlling it remotely fell short. You also could not stream to separate devices from an iPhone, unless you used iTunes which doesn’t support FLAC. Enter JRiver and JRemote. Setup was simple, turning on the server capabilities was simple, settup up the remote was simple. Now we can stream our collection to separate devices. I stream to my main system and run the stream through an external DAC into my Stereo, but we can also now stream to separate devices which allow a bluetooth speaker from the device if you so choose to be remote on the deck or backyard or something…FANTASTIC! Thanks you, Bill Wheeler Show more

    Good but frustrating
    This is very much a mixed bag. It streams audio very effectively, whether within its WiFi network, or remotely (once I wrestled port forwarding to the mat). It’s search functions is close to useless; while searching for a title will bring it up, along with lots of less relevant items, there’s no way I’ve found to migrate back to the album from which it came. (The album itself may appear under the generic heading ‘Album’, but you can’t link the Artist or Track to a specific Album.) When you search for a given Album, the app stacks everything with an identical name in a single pile and you have to parse through the listings to find the specific album you’re looking for. Compared to Gizmo, which I use on my Android phone, this is like a primitive caveman drawing pictographs of a horse on the walls of a dark cave. Show more

    Slow and needs startup screen setting
    Takes almost 20 seconds to sync now playing after launch across a small fast local network. Needs some serious optimizations. Anything greater than a few seconds from launch to fully synced is too long. Also needs a setting to start into the ‘player’ screen or the last screen user was on before quitting the app. Show more

    Great idea but
    I like design and idea. BUT I can’t add file to playlist from this app:( To create playlist - OK. Tried different computers win10 with home and pro version. iPad iPhone the same. Show more
  • TechnoDolly, 20.02.2021
    So disappointed. Worse than worthless
    Sorry JRiver, this app is terrible. You make a fine client music player but your server and control app are simply awful. I wanted to love this setup but it’s an embarrassment to have paid $10 for this tragedy. Show more
  • MajorFlopToo, 20.02.2021
    Remote is horrible
    This JRemote app is horrible. It continuously causes JRiver to crash (which by the way crashes enough on its own), its usability is terrible. Not worth a $1.00 let alone $10.00. Gonna try Audirvana and Roon but so far Apple Music wins. Show more

    Major Bug Update Release
    I had no problems prior to version release 3.34. It seems this update was for only JRMC 27 users. I use it strictly for audio. So I did not need that release. I began to have intermittent problems with locking up, not being able to change to another song while one was playing and loosing connectivity. Being intermittent I put up with it. Now the new version update 3.35 is absolutely the worse. It now locks up incessantly and I prefer the dark theme and no matter how many times I choose it it reverts back to the light theme whenever I reopen jremote. I have tried to get some help from their JRiverWiki blog which is atrocious unless u are a computer expert. It is not easy to navigate and get help. I wish there was a way to revert back to version. 3.33 where I had no problems and it worked flawlessly and have a way to choose if you want an update and install only if you want or need to.

    Decent. Could be better
    Usability needs a step up. And how about squeezing the screen vertically so the notch on newer phones like the 12 doesn’t obscure really important information like the song title. Good grief. Show more

    Bug fix required immediately
    This new version doesn’t display properly on my iPhone in IOS 14. The top of the screens are way too high cutting off most the type. This app makes some of the buttons at the top of the screen impossible to top. It’s nearly impossible to get into the settings menu. Show more

    Still Needs Carplay capability
    Please have Carplay capability in the next update.

    Nice
    Working perfectly for me so far.
  • based is all, 20.08.2020
    Unreliable
    I’ve used JRiver for years. Without any other changes I have went through periods of the remote not connecting. I’ve had multiple iOS versions and JRiver versions and frequency of failure remains. Then there will be periods where it works fine. Show more

    Essential to go with JRiver Mediacenter
    JRemote is a great app that I use every day to listen to my music. One thing I really wish it could do is to play scrambled playlists the same way Mediacenter does. In Mediacenter, I can link tracks (e.g. the movements of a classical composition) and they will always scramble together. So effectively, my classical playlists scramble by composition, not by track. JRemote, for reasons impossible to understand, does not do that. So I cannot play classical playlists scrambled from JRemote. It scrambles by track, even though all tracks are linked by composition in the underlying database (library). This, I say, is a shame! Show more

    Terrible Interface
    This is almost as bad as the Media Center interface “designed” for one’s media server. This is a bad joke.

    Crashes when launched
    The last update broke it
