Thanks for the app! It is lovely and has some unique functions (most importantly the ability to automatically display fullscreen Music in Kodi when playing!)
I use the app to control music only. Yes there is a separate app for that (MusicRemote for Kodi) but it does not show music in fullscreen on my Kodi-TV and the design is old.
I know you believe a separate app for music only would be better (I agree completely) - But I don't know how to code one - and your app is very good and universal already. So, may I ask you kindly for some improvements? To Make it even more universal:
- toggle fullscreen when Artist is played (most important for me) - At the moment it only toggles for songs and albums - Is there a good reason why Artists are not enabled?
- "list view" for Artists - without pictures - just the Artist name to save some space (second most important)
-"titles" / "songs" view (on iPad with a Button next to Artist and Albums)
- iPad App: Back button on the upper left (just like in your iphone version)
- iPhone App: Ability to hide "movies" and "Series" buttons at the bottom (maybe the option to replace them with "Artists" and "titles")
- ability to hide Artist information from the top (it is taking a lot of space on the small iphone screen
- separate "now playing" Screen in addition to the one in remote control screen (showing a big cover, big controls like in apple stock music app (ios 6 music player was best designed) and some codec information)
I know Im asking a lot. I appreciate your work and would buy the App again - every day!
Thank you in advance!

No, just forgot. I already added the code. It will be available in version 2.1.
- "list view" for Artists - without pictures - just the Artist name to save some space (second most important)
I will add it to the to do list. I think it's handy for all music views.
-"titles" / "songs" view (on iPad with a Button next to Artist and Albums)
This is already on the to do list.

I removed this because some people (including me) think it's a back button, but at some places it's a close button. When you want to leave simply press the menu button. On the iPhone this is a different story. The top menu bar is not there to save space.

Maybe....

My reference model is an iPhone 5(s / SE). The artist info screen only shows the description of the artist and the number of albums. On the reference model there are still 5 lines available for the artist description.
- separate "now playing" Screen in addition to the one in remote control screen (showing a big cover, big controls like in apple stock music app (ios 6 music player was best designed) and some codec information)
The codec info is on my to do list.
