Excellent remote control app for audiophiles who use Apple Music
Deepak Krishnankutty
Updated review 7 April 2026The developer Tim seems committed to resolving all issues with his Lysoniq app. After some troubleshooting, he identified the specific reason why the Lysoniq app did not work in my case. Apparently, the app had an issue with mesh Wi-Fi networks (my home network has a mesh). He has since successfully resolved this problem - even if it took him a few months to do so. I then got a heads-up from him last week to try the updated app - which I did yesterday.Voila, it works perfectly now! I am able to remotely control my music iPad which is hard-wired to my DAC, with another iPad from the comfort of my couch - and listen to all my lossless and hi-res lossless Apple music content - including my entire Library. Fantastic! All you audiophiles out there who use Apple Music connected to your DACs/amps, go ahead and get this app - it makes life so convenient.Note: Ensure you have Apple Music installed on both devices and also, that both are set to Sync Library. Then, install the Lysoniq app on both devices (same license) and that they are both on the same Wi-Fi network. Thereafter, use only the Lysoniq app on your (control) iPad or iPhone, to play your Apple Music content - not the Apple Music app. The Lysoniq interface is good and somewhat similar to Apple Music.————First review 2 Oct 2025Does NOT work 95% of the timeWhat I thought was a welcome app for us audiophiles to control our Apple Music remotely, turns out to be a failed experiment - doesn't work 95% of the time. Even when it (barely) works for a few minutes, it's quite a fiddle to get things going. You cannot access your library (albums or playlists) from the control device. So I don't really see the point of this app, if even the basic controls of Apple Music can't be done?In my case, I have an iPad hardwired to my DAC and use another iPad to try to control it remotely over WiFi with this app (both have to be on the same network, with Lysonic running on both).There is no trial version of the app, so I had to buy it to even check it out - buyers please be aware. Sadly, a total waste of my time and money. The only thing is that it's a lifetime purchase, so fingers crossed that after the next few updates, maybe it will actually work at some point. Till then, guess I'll have to wait...or find another solution that comes into the market.
