User Reviews

The MonkeyMote Music Remote is praised as a capable remote for MediaMonkey (and Winamp), enabling convenient, house-wide control from iPhone/iPad with a nice interface and rich library navigation. However, many reviews cite reliability issues: inconsistent or failed PC connections, PC detection problems, and generic errors; startup crashes and breakages after updates; setup and plugin installation troubles, plus limited support. Some users also note UI quirks and feedback gaps (button confusion, queue management). Overall it’s highly capable when it works, but may be unstable and tricky to set up across some networks.

Pros

Remote control for MediaMonkey (and Winamp) from iPhone/iPad, turning your PC into the music source.
Works across the home for multi-room listening and easy playback control from anywhere.
Attractive, well-designed interface with album art and responsive controls.
Rich library navigation with multiple views and built-in search.
Includes useful extras like lyrics display and queue/playback management.

Cons

Frequent connectivity problems and inconsistent PC detection, often ending in generic errors.
App sometimes fails to open or crashes after updates; reliability is inconsistent.
Setup and plugin installation can be problematic, and support/documentation is limited.
UI can be confusing (unclear button functions) and some actions (enqueuing) lack clear feedback.
Some updates reportedly break compatibility, requiring reinstall or workarounds.

Doesn’t work. Bought the app and stuck trying to connect. The support link goes nowhere. The music player never launches

Because I'm on iOS, I can't find maby solutions for a remote to use with winamp. This is worth the $1.99 price tag if you're on iOS.

No idea why it's so inconsistent in connecting to my PC but it's really frustrating. Port's open, firewall allows connections on the network, MM open, and plugin's installed so I've done what I need to do, and it has connected a few times, but it gives me a generic error and won't connect 90% of the time. Not worth the time and frustration
