## Review summary

MusicBee Remote is praised for a clean, responsive UI and reliable basic control of MusicBee, with strong integration for Sonos and practical playback features like volume and track skipping. Users also note active development and a unique iOS remote option. However, multiple reviews flag key drawbacks: high price and subscription expectations, occasional connectivity problems and limited setup documentation, and restricted audio routing that prevents sending sound to the phone. Additional complaints include UI quirks and occasional crashes, plus missing features such as adding tracks to a playlist or displaying album art on Apple TV. Overall, solid but pricey and imperfect.

### Pros

- Clean, responsive interface that feels reliable as a remote control for MusicBee.
- Strong integration with MusicBee and Sonos for whole-home playback.
- Useful playback controls on mobile, including volume control and track skipping.
- Active development and ongoing updates by the developer, with positive user support.

### Cons

- High price and subscription model, with many users calling it too expensive for a simple remote.
- Frequent connectivity issues and frustrating network setup, often with poor or lacking documentation.
- Limited audio output options (difficulty routing audio to the phone, not just the PC).
- UI quirks and occasional crashes, plus metadata not updating on the main screen in some cases.
- Missing features users want (e.g., add-to-playlist, Apple TV album art display) and intrusive ads in some versions.
