Tango Remote App Reviews

Installs easily enough, loads without issue (mostly) but fails to maintain "connection" between media player and remote device. Frequently the remote fails to find the media player and just keeps looking indefinitely. Would be nice if the remote would show what was playing when iTunes Radio plays on the media player. In fact all it allows one to do is to adjust the volume. You cant skip songs, pause, fast forward or go back. Ive been looking for this exact app for a few years now and was thrilled when I found this on the App Store, what a disappointment, dont waste your time with it.

I have a Beats by Dre Beatbox portable in my den on the entertainment center. I connect my iPad to it with a Bluetooth connection... This makes me either have to be in my den or in the next room over, which is the kitchen. I can go other places in my house, but if I want to adjust the volume between songs or skip a track I have to return to where my iPad is stationed. NOT ANYMORE!!! With this app Im now able to go anywhere in my house and as long as I have my iPhone on me I can control every aspect of my music listening session. This is extremely convenient and has been the most useful music related app Ive ran across so far. Thanks for the awesome app guys. One thing, can you update it to be 100% compatible with the iPhone 6 Plus? Its noticeably stretched out to fit the screen and makes it look pretty bad. If it were a true 1080p Retina HD format this would be the perfect app. Do that for me and Ill give you guys that last star I held back.

This app has great functionality when it works. However, editing the queue from a remote routinely crashes the app (on the remote, not the media player). Fix that and Ill happily rate five stars.

On the occasion when everything comes together its great but thats all too rare an event to get any more than three stars. iPod touch / pure dock and various iPhones and iPads all have same spotty performance issues. Please fix as Id love to have a reliable product that works as it looks like it could and should.

This app is pretty good. Does exactly what it says it does. The one problem, and this is really what kills it, is the apps inability to stay connected with the media device. If this issue gets fixed, it would be infinitely better.

The other reviewers are right--Tango occasionally drops the connection between the remote and the player. But the developers advice to turn wifi off on both devices, then turn it back on, is a quick fix that always works (though I wish theyd fix it). I use this app for hours every day. It lets me play all my music. I loaded my cds into iTunes using Apple lossless, then subscribed to iTunes Match. One iPad is a dedicated music player plugged into superb speakers. The other iPad is my remote control. Now I can hear all my music with the best quality, as well as my iTunes Radio stations. This is best app Ive ever bought. Dont know what Id do without it.

This app works exactly as advertised for me. Ive always wanted some way to control my music library but still be able to use my phone and I think I finally found it. I installed on a 3rd gen iPod Touch (player) and iPhone 6 (remote) and setup was simple over wifi. Only issue: 50% chance whenever I leave the app on my iPhone, it disconnects and I need to reselect my iPod as the media player.

Do not like the way it works Does not work as in the description and video on YouTube Very disappointed

This app is fantastic with my iPhone 5s and my iPod touch 5! I leave my phone in my pocket as my remote and my iPod is plugged into surround sound stereo speakers as the media device. Im so happy I bought this app. I can now play any song I want from my iTunes library from anywhere in my room without having to get up and walk over to my iPod. Buy this app!

I have an old iPhone that is used to play music and I love being able to change the volume and songs. The app works great.

The upgrade to the program has made this incompatible with older versions. Funny thing is, with an older iOS device like my iPod Touch 4, you cant load the newer version:(. Bad change control and a waste of money.

I was reluctant buying this after reading one of the reviews saying that it would not work with older products. I have a second generation iPod touch that I use primarily for music now and this app works just fine on it. The price was a little high for an app but since it is basically the only option for what it does, I guess it was worth it.

Pretty cool but would be even better if I could control Pandora running on my other iphone vs just iTunes related sources

Perfect app.

DEAR TANGO DEVELOPERS: PLEASE ADD GESTURE CONTROLS !!! This app is an AMAZING & INNOVATIVE way to browse and control all of the media stored on any of your other iDevices! I use my iPad as my cars Media Player and my iPhone as the Remote Control. This app makes them both a match made in Heaven! All commands and selections work instantly with no lags or delays at all using Bluetooth or Wifi. I just wish it had Swipe/Gesture controls to change tracks or volume without having to look down at my phone while driving. I WOULD EVEN PAY for this feature because it makes me & my passengers safer. Still an amazing app nonetheless!!!

Love the new update works great with Apple radio!

Great job. Love this app. Must have for music heads. Just needs lock screen control and it gets 5 stars.

Great app! Just needs Apple Watch support to control the remote device from watch. Thanks!
