Free app dramatically improves Apple TV’s music playback and works well for video
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.)

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:
Great idea!
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. Brilliant concept!
A great addition to any iPhone
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. Excellent job Apple.
Sweet App!
Even my wife likes to use this app. It has a lot of potential and I look forward to apple TV support.
Wow
Well done. 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. The touch pad offering allows gestures that simplifies control of your AppleTV and addresses the many limitations of the original AppleTV remote.Another fine App to wow my friends with and maybe, just maybe, convince them to invest in an AppleTV and iTouch/Phone as well.great job Apple
Missing Apple TV Features
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.
