JRemote Reviews

Decent. Could be better

Plexicrunch

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.

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.

Remote is horrible

MajorFlopToo

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.

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.

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.

(Vietnamese ) My JRIVER doesn’twork

Slow and needs startup screen setting

ChinaBlue007

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.

Good but frustrating

Harry the Hipster

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.

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.

JRemote Beyond Perfect Companion To JRiver Server

Bmwheeler1

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
