User Reviews
Been using this app for many years. Great overall interface and reliable for home media playback. There are a few things that could take it to another level:
1) Fix the quirks in the UI. Particularly on iPad, the floating playback controls at the bottom
are too high up and there is a large gap with whatever you are browsing behind it. Should be closer to bottom with no way of clicking anything accidentally behind it. The close out playing now list on the right also partially covers up this controls at bottom.
On the iPhone, when you click into a list of tiles, there is a 1+ inch gap at the top of the screen before the list of files are shown. Looks odd and doesn’t happen on iPad.
The folder icons look old school and should either be fanned cover art or fronting more modern looking.
2) While CarPlay support technically works, it is super slow to load, navigate and play audio files. Also the process for connecting should be streamlined so essentially the app can run in the background on iPhone, and all the user has to do is open the app in the CarpPlay interface and ‘it just works’.
3) Would love to see offline storage and playback options. Media Center on windows does not sync with iPhone so a way to do that with JRemote would be amazing. There is another app that works with Media Center that does this, buts it’s cumbersome to use and the overall polish of JRemote is lacking.
4) Finally there is no HDR video playback support. There are many other iOS apps that have offered this for years including Plex and Infuse.

Overall, great app for controlling Media Center remotely from an ℹ device.
Would be a big improvement to be able to shuffle the list of songs presented when you get search results. Make the results a temporary playlist you can shuffle, sort, drag-and-drop song order and be able to save the resulting playlist.

I am trying to describe it over here because this bug was introduced a few years ago and was not fixed yet(version 3.45). Here is how to reproduce it:
Pick an Album(let’s call Album M) a click on a track(let’s call it X). This track will start to play. After that, pick the same Album(M) and click on a different track(let’s call it Y). This track will start to play.
Now, if you click on the track X again, JRemote will display a pop up informing track X will play, but track Y keeps playing. No mather how many times you click in track X, track Y will keep playing.
I tested another app called MO 4Media and it works fine, but the interface is not polished as JRemote.
I really want to use JRemote, but this bug is really annoying.
Please take a look at this bug.
