Most developers have had their iOS 7 apps ready for weeks but Apple is still racing to update all of its own apps to mesh better with iOS 7’s new look. The Remote app for iPhone and iPad is the latest Apple app to get the iOS 7 treatment as Apple just published version 4.0 to the App Store.
The updated app comes with an all new iOS 7-style look as well as support for iTunes 11.1 but there’s no mention of new features in the release notes so it looks like we’re just getting a facelift for now. iPhone and iPad owners can use the device to control Apple TV as well as remotely access computers on the same Home Sharing account to play music, queue up additional songs, create playlists and more.
The new update can be found in the App Store for free.

I wish this could work as a true remote… i.e., I have my iPad using home sharing and I could choose the next song via my iPhone. I guess essentially expanding it not only working in iTunes, but on other iOS devices as well… #WishfulThinking
Seems like some bug fixes. Couldn’t edit playlists on iPad. Now I can.
