Decent but needs a tweak
02/06/2023

iOS version 2.2.1 when launched displays artist and title of currently playing tune from streaming radio, but when next new tune comes up, the display still shows the artist as it was when it was first launched even though new tune is playing. I know the info is available because if I click the 3 dots next to the artist on main screen the artist updates, just not on main screen. Thanks for writing this. I find it useful and handy especially to control volume using my phone, but if I want to see artist info, I am using an old iPad running MS RDP and connecting via remote session direct to the server. This tweak would be appreciated.Cheers!

Good but greedy

The app works good overall but doesn't follow in the spirit of free or affordable software that the actual MusicBee developer has maintained since the beginning. To me it seems greedy to charge so much off MusicBee success for an app this simple.This app is limited in features, has annoying ads, and options for subscription payments - or a one time $35 fee to remove the ads and unlock viewing and editing metadata (obviously free in MusicBee itself).What a joke with that pricing. A subscription for a simple remote app to play/pause and skip tracks, when the fully featured MusicBee software is completely free. Other apps that have way more features like play:Sub / Navidrome are free or have a small one time fee like $5.Since this is the only iOS app of its kind I still use it with an ad blocker, and appreciate it being available. I would be fine with paying a $5 fee for lifetime usage of a simple app like this just to remove the ads, but that's it. I'm not trying to manage my entire music collection on mobile. Hoping someone makes a simple music control app like this but free, no need to overdo it.

Works great on laptop, not on IPhone

I have had musicbee on my laptop for over a year and really recommend it. Today I downloaded the app to my IPhone and it fails to connect to my network, though IP address is correct. I am sure I could spend an hour figuring out the problem but have zero desire to do so….note: a quick dive into available documentation did not readily offer a useful solution. I am removing the app and will try again in a few months to see if developers figure out for me

There are multiple reasons why it’s not connecting in your local network. Try this:1) Go to Settings in app, select Question mark icon on top, select Tutorial option2) Follow installation and connection steps3) If it still doesn’t work, follow the Troubleshooting section at the bottomYou can contact me via support email as well.

MusicBee So Much Better Controlled Remotely!

Have enjoyed this app a few years now and can’t imagine my music listening without it! Combined with my whole house Sonos system is a dream. While I wish there was an Apple TV version so I could display album art on my tv while titles are playing, that is a small sacrifice for an otherwise very useful and handy app. Thank you!
