Hi Chris,
I have just installed v2.0 of RokuRemote on my iPod Touch.
It looks great – thanks. It was well worth the painfull wait for Apple to allow it through the digital gates.
Thanks for your awesome work.

Thanks for a great update! Well worth the wait.
I like the landscape mode.

Chris, thanks for the update. It looks great, very fast, and
it makes using Rhapsody with Roku ten times more
enjoyable and easier.

Best regards,

Hi Chris,

All I can say is Wow. All right, and Thank You.

RokuRemote is terrific. My SoundBridge has been hanging around for a couple years on light use, mostly because the UI of the SoundBridge is, well, a bit spare. RokuRemote makes the SoundBridge a device that is actually a pleasure to use.

Great work! Best USD 2.99 I will ever spend!

Hi Chris,

Congratulations – this is now a great, very usable app. – big improvement on the previous version and so much better on my iPod Touch than Roku’s own remote.

Can I suggest the following enhancements for future :-
Option to clear song queue / edit to remove selected tracks
Allow returning directly to the now playing screen from the lyrics display
Give the option for a Soundbridge M1000 / M2000 App icon – for those who don’t have a SoundbridgeRadio !
And of course the ‘Holy Grail’ would be the ability to synchronise all my SoundBridges !!

Keep up the good work

Ian

Chris,

Really, really like the new 2.0 version – particularly the ability to create an on-the-go playlist. It is immense.

Couple of things I’d love to be in the next version:

– When you go back from “Albums” back up to “Artists”, it would be good if it would remember where you were last rather than having to browse from the A again.

– Would be good if artists with a “The” at the start (“The Beatles”, “The Verve”, etc) got sorted by the first word after the “The”, so that “The Beatles” is listed under B rather than T (if you catch my drift).

Otherwise, well done on creating an awesome app.

Tom
