Issues

I have always had issues using the keyboard function while using the app to control my AppleTV but lately it’s been waaay worse. Especially with the Netflix app.

Just great. I can control my music library from my phone from anywhere in the house. That and remote controlled speakers, I’m in the Jetsons!

What i want apple music incorporated into the search that would be awesome and then ill give all the stars ??
Why is this even a separate app?

I don’t understand why I can’t just play my Apple Music library on my Mac from Apple Music on my phone. Spotify lets you control any connected device from any other device, and I wish Apple Music had the same feature. This app works but if you have a moderate or large library it’s clunky, unintuitive, and restrictive. Just implement the features into my already existing Apple Music app!!!
Randomly disconnects and missing artwork

Our music files can be open in iTunes or in Jriver (even simultaneously) to stream around the house. Jriver never has issues with accessing and playing but iTunes regularly gives an error it has no access to a library. If we wait awhile and try again (without doing anything) it usually mysteriously reappears. As to artwork, all our files have embedded artwork that shows up in most iTunes views and on synced devices. It often doesn’t show up in iTunes’s Album view and any artwork that doesn’t show up there also doesn’t show up in Remote. Again, in third party software we have zero issue. We tried deleting the iTunes album artwork folder and relaunching iTunes, forcing it to rebuild thumbnails. It did nothing. One workaround sort of worked: In album view, if we select the first track of an album, click Get Info and close Get Info (even without making a single change) then it will fix the artwork. So, I redid all our albums from A-G. Within a day, after rebooting our computer for other non-problem reasons, most of that artwork disappeared from Remote again. No, Apple, I’m not going to keep resetting devices to factory settings, etc. You need to fix your stuff. I’ve done that enough times and when it usually solves nothing, Apple shrugs and creates a ticket that goes nowhere for months — or they literally tell you to buy new hardware.
Worked Great, Until it didn’t

Successfully used this app for a about a month before it inexplicably stopped working. My iTunes library shows up, but the app is never able to connect my phone. I’ve tried resetting everything and starting from scratch with no luck. I’ve also gone through the procedure to add a remote with home sharing turned off, with no luck. In short, the Remote app worked great until it didn’t.
