PodLink enables you to wirelessly control the music playing on another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running PodLink. Plug in one device (in sharing mode) to a stereo or docking station, and control it remotely with multiple other devices using Wi-Fi or bluetooth as if you were holding the device in front of you.
Play, pause, next, previous, seek, volume, currently playing song information including title, artist, album, time, and album art.
With PodLink you can have your party guests to control the music, let the kids in the backseat control the music in the front seat, or just have some fun and surprise someone.
The missing remote app is finally here!
This app was created by Tyler Pasch, as part of the University of Michigans EECS498-Mobile Applications course with contributions from Dimitrios Liakakos and Nathan Zukoff. Special thanks to our professor, Elliot Solloway, and Alex Kuhn.
Pros and cons of PodLink app for iPhone and iPad
PodLink app good for
This is a great app that works just like it says.
I have tryed other apps & this is the only one that I have got to work with bluetooth.
As other people have stated it would be great if you could search for a specific song.
Works like a charm. Even if it is just so you can control the iPhone from the couch with your wifes phone!
I have an iPod dock hooked up to my stereo. I use PodLink on my iPhone as a remote control. It works great but Im looking forward to the addition of more functions.
I use my 3G to control my touch in a docking station across the room from my desk. Definitely worth it.
Love that I can use bluetooth - doesnt require connecting to wifi. This is great at parties where the hosts dont want to give up their wifi password. Also nice that multiple devices can control the source ipod playing the music.
Does what it says, I control my 64gb iPod touch from anywhere in my house, makes the experience fantastic. Great app!!
Some bad moments
Excellent concept but implementation could use some work. Significant lag in displaying what is playing, only able to select a playlist rather than artists or songs. Hope you continue to work on this project as it has lots of promise!
Handy but not useful. Cant chose songs from library. Can only choose playlists. Pretty disappointed. At least it was only a dollar.
Complete failure of an App & no recourse, no way to contact developer in App.
WARNING: A does NOT work!
hasnt been updated since 2010 - for the most part this app is now useless
I will give this app five stars once you can pick songs out of your library. It is way too limited. Also being able to see the songs in each playlist would be nice. PLEASE update and I will give five stars. Thanks
This app would be a 5 star for me if only it worked while the other itouch is in my ihome device. But it works while it is not plugged in the ihome device.
