Remote Review
Free app dramatically improves Apple TV’s music playback and works well for video
macworld.com
Compatibility: Compatible with iPhone and iPod touch.
With Remote you can control the music on your computer or Apple TV from your iPod touch or iPhone.
See your songs, playlists, and album art on your iPod touch or iPhone as if you were right in front of your computer.
Remote works with your Wi-Fi network, so you can control playback from anywhere in and around your home.
It's no surprise that Apple's Remote application headed up the App Store's list of Top Free Apps immediately after the iPhone application store launched.
After installing Remote on an iPhone or iPod touch, the portable's touchscreen becomes the best remote control I've yet seen for controlling an Apple TV -- or iTunes running on a computer -- located on the same local network.
(Your iPhone or iPod touch must be connected to that network via WiFi.)
App makes controlling a speaker system with iTunes incredibly easy.
Has an interface just like using iPod app.
I'm going to start off by saying the only thing you need to hear?
It lets you control music, request and rate songs in iTunes DJ, and edit playlists.
This app works very well to control iTunes.
The concept is very cool, I only wish I had the money to connect a Mac to my home stereo.
What's even cooler is if you have friends with an iPhone, then can access your library while you're playing music via iTunes DJ and request songs to be played.
As the owner, once you've paired your phone with your iTunes, you have total control over the play order and other things going on within iTunes.
This app demonstrates again how much attention Apple pays to its products.
This app is so useful in many ways.
Especially using Airport Express with this app make it even more useful.
You can be anywhere in your house and control what music is playing.
Even my wife likes to use this app.
It has a lot of potential and I look forward to apple TV support.
The Apple Remote App allows us a lot of flexibility now.
When watching a movie one can quickly go to any part of the movie without having to fast forward to get to that spot.
Just move the slider to the time point you want.When doing a slide presentation with background music, not only can you see what track that is being played on your iPod Touch or Phone, you can also change the song within the playlist or even another album altogether.

All this without interrupting the slide show on your TV.Neat job on the PodCast viewing.
While watching a PodCast, you can view on your Apple Remote App other PodCast episodes in a list view for alternate choices.The response time is quick.
This is a great app but does not completely replace the Apple TV remote.
It works great with iTunes and works as a keyboard for the Apple TV but it is missing some useful features.
