It's undeniable that Apple wants more and more integration between its devices, and although the app I'm talking about today, Remote, has been on the App Store for For a long time, when it really made sense was when the version of iTunes was released that included new possibilities, and now with the new Apple TV.
It could be said that this app, in iTunes for Mac and PC, fulfills the function of the remote Remote that includes Apple TVs prior to the fourth generation, but on the new Apple TV goes further as it allows you to control it and enter text.
WITH THE REMOTE APP WE CAN EASY CONTROL OUR APPLE TV AND ITUNES MUSIC LIBRARY FROM A PC OR MAC
To start using Remote, we have to link the iOS device, be it an iPad, an iPod Touch or an iPhone with iTunes from our Mac or PC or with our Apple TV. To link it with iTunes on a Mac or PC we have to open the app Remote and iTunes on our computer. If everything is working properly, the app should be detected by the computer and next to the “Music”, “Videos” and “TV Shows” icons, the app icon should appear.
If the icon appears, we will have to press it and enter the code that appears on the screen of our iOS device. To link it with a fourth-generation Apple TV, what we will have to do is go to the "Controllers and devices" section in the settings.If "Home Sharing" is activated, the app will locate all the devices, saving us this process.
If everything has worked correctly, we will be able to use our iOS device as a remote and from this moment on we will be able to control the iTunes music library on our computer from anywhere in the house, as long as the devices are in the same room Wi-Fi network. In the case of iTunes we can create lists, modify them, modify the playlist, or choose which songs to play.
On Apple TV, for its part, we can navigate Apple TV using gestures on the screen of the iOS device, access the menu, or enter text where possible. It is undoubtedly an application to take into account, and it is more than possible that we will soon see how it appears for the Apple Watch. You can download Remote completely free from here
