While the host application still has some strange GUI quirks, the remote app is simply fabulous. Design is clear and simple, yet elegant. On a tech side, it took the app under three seconds to find a computer running Fidelia and required no configuring. The library loaded also in a matter of seconds. Getting Fidelia streaming 24bit / 192 kHz stereo via Airfoil to an AirPort Express took zero effort.I am am not sure what is the nature of a problem described in Adrian Reynolds' review as he never specified what kind of WiFi network he is running. Most likely, library loading speed is a function of network bandwidth...
Useful, but could be better

I have used Fidelia for a couple of years. As a music player, I like it very much. I decided to try the remote app although I thought that the price was too high given the fact that I've already spent a lot of money buying the music player. This is a very basic remote. It only allows you to control playback and volume. There is no access to any EQ functions. The player software must be running on your Mac in order to use the remote. The app gives you access to your music library and playlists. You can sort the library by song artist or album as well as search the library. In that respect it is more user-friendly than the player itself. In summary, this is a useful app, but it is too expensive given the price of the music player software and it's advanced add-ins. The other minus is that you can't access all the functions of the player software.
Not as positive as the other 2 reviews.

I wish I could say this app was working well for me, but it isn't. It connects to my mac quickly, but:1.) It loads up my fidelia library extremely slowly, if ever. As in, right now it's 64% done after 15 minutes. I think it's actually loaded the full library twice in maybe 40 attempts.2.) Sometimes, the app actually manages to disconnect AND disable my wifi while trying to load the library! I have to manually go into the Settings to turn the wifi back on and try to get this app to work again.3.) The slider doesn't really keep up with the song being played. It just kinda jumps to the general area that the song is in. It almost never shows the net track playing.I have noted that if I don't try to load the library, it can do the basic functions correctly...but the library is something of a critical component.So basically, it fails dramatically at doing the most important thing it's sold as being able to do. I'll try removing and reinstalling the app as a last-ditch effort...but I don't know what to say. It's baffling how bad this is compared to the excellent Fidelia music player itself. Here's hoping a future update or reinstall will fix these problems. Guess I shouldn't have jumped in without more than 2 reviews.

This is a fantastic app for those of us who DJ and sometimes get away from the computer. It's incredibly fast to connect and there is little to no lag with button presses.
Live streaming control. See your complete library including tracks from your LMS server. Long-press to play and shuffle your playlists.
Fidelia now streams — and 2.5 brings radio presets to your phone. Browse your stations, start one playing, and the now-playing screen switches to a live indicator while it's on air.
Under the hood.
Extra help for initial connection when your network permission setting might not be enabled.
