This is the greatest app I have seen. One needs the Roku device, which is cool in its own right, but using this app really is special. The lyrics of the songs are actually on the iP0d Touch. Awesome!
Version 2.1 fixes all our previous problems with the app. It rocks, and so do you!
One feature request for the next version (if it can be done). It would be super to have an option setting in which RokuRemote keeps the screen on, and does not permit the iPod to lock. My wife often uses your app as her remote control while working, and would really like to be able to make the occasional volume adjustment without having to unlock her screen. At the same time, she doesn’t want to just set “lock never” in the iPod’s settings — that requires her to remember to change it back when she’s done listening.
Hi Chris
Great and really useful app. I’d like to provide dome feedback and report a few minor issues to help improve the app. What’s the best way to do that for you.
Cheers
Simon
Great app been using it since you first released it, can you tell the the port it uses and I’m trying
To see if I can connect over the internet, I’ve tried a few ports already but no luck as yet, thanks in advance dan
THis App is fantastic – true wireless music at your fingertips!! fantastic!!
Just one thing that could make this even more fantastic – would it possible to use the hard buttons on the side of iphone/touch to control the volume?
Would be great if you could do this for those of us with big thumbs!!
Cheers
This is a terrific app! A great toy for my Roku Soundbridge and Soundbridge Radio to play with.
One question: Why does it say “screen not supported” in landscape mode?
I am running 2.1 on an iPhone 4.
Thanks Much! Good work (well worth 3 bucks)
This is one of the best Apps on my iPad, i use it all the Time. It’s a great Way to listen my Music and to build up a Playlist. But, is there any Chance to save such a Playlist?
That would be awesome.
Greetings from Germany.
Hi,
Great app! – many thanks.
One suggestion, I have around 20k tracks in my iTunes database and the keyword search would be much more useful if it showed more info before you add the track to the queue. Album name, artist etc would be great. This doesn’t need to be in the main search results screen, just so long as we have a way of viewing this info before choosing to add the track.
E-mail me if you need more info.
Pete.
Agree, this is One of the most useful apps ever made.
Request
Can you add all of soma.fm streams to Internet radio and delete old, non-functional Internet radio channels? Thx
I have a house full of M2000s, so this app is a godsend, and worth every penny. Now, how about full iPad support?
