Pros and cons of MonkeyMote for foobar2000 app for iPhone and iPad

MonkeyMote for foobar2000 app good for

Good! But missing volume contrôle and display by folder with pics :-(
Enfin une interface pro. New version is simply perfect, well done man.
I cant belive i just discovered this. I tried a few apps before and had problems with all of them. With this app you have litterally full foobar2000 controll over your phone. Use your playlists, create a new playlist, use your music library. Everything. Just download the plugin for foobar on your pc and start listening/browsing. Perfect!
Gd enough for my nds on shared Wi-Fi. This works & gives me a break from my iTunes stuff. Love Foobar for flac files & low RAM.
The author of this app has promptly answered all my emails and gone out of his way to fix whatever problem I ever reported. Thank you very much by the way!
Ive enjoyed monkeymote remote with Winamp for a while, then I discover foobar for its way better sound quality, and went eyes closes to buy this great app and with the streaming capability (yours for a ridiculous .99$more) I can read FLAC files on my i-phone via foo

Some bad moments

Does what it says. I wish there was a way to keep my foobar library offline so I can review it when I go cd shopping
Works as advertised, however finding it hard to work out why you have to scroll to the top of the listing of tracks before you can see the search pane. Please lock the searching in place at the top!
Works as advertised, which is good since the plugin I was using for the Apple Remote app with foobar2000 stopped working. However, that did a lot more than this. This only lets you control playlists, you cant select new artists to play unless you already have the playlist created. Add this functionality and its 5 stars, easy. Update: they added selecting new artists, so I give it 5.
Ive been waiting for this app. Now I can relax and stop jumping up to pause or change my music. Sure would like an HD version for the iPad. Would like to be able to display playlist items by title before artist since I have artist names so long I cant see the title. Would also like to be able to search for music by composer as well as by album, artist and genre. Nice work. I hope improved versions are on the way.
Once I got Bonjour installed and the router to open the port everything works perfectly!
I use it all the time to control foobar from various parts off my house with my ipad. It does everything i need it to do plus more. Deffinately recomended!!!
