iControl
ANDROID REMOTE CONTROL FOR APPLE MUSIC AND iTUNES
Take control of your Apple Music and iTunes music library from your Android device.
Browse your music collection, manage playback, explore playlists, and control Internet radio stations — all from the convenience of your phone or tablet.
It all started when…
The realization came that there were no longer any Android applications capable of remotely controlling Apple Music and iTunes. While such applications once existed, none appeared to work with modern Android versions and devices.
That gap led to the creation of iControl, bringing remote control functionality back to Android users.
Compatible with Android 7.0 Nougat, API level 24, and newer.
