WiiM Home App Lands on Apple TV!

We’re thrilled to make an official announcement that the WiiM Home app is now available on Apple TV! (Yes, we know it's been in beta for a while and has had early access.)

This marks a big step forward in expanding control options for your WiiM devices by expanding the WiiM Home app to a new platform. With the Apple TV interface, you can manage playback and perform basic home screen functions all from your big screen.

What to Expect​

Streamlined Control: Manage your WiiM setup with ease
Big-Screen Navigation: An intuitive UI designed for Apple TV
More to Come: We're actively developing new features to enhance functionality

This initial release offers core controls and we may work to expand its capabilities over time. Stay tuned for future updates as we refine and improve the experience! We are working on an Android TV version as well!

Now available on the App Store!

I would be thrilled if it was added to Roku and I'm guessing there are Fire TV users out that who would love to see it there as well. Any chance that's in the works?

Apologies for the possibly naive questions as I don't currently have Apple TV, will this show what's playing in the WiiM off my 'USB-attached' music library and will it allow me to search for music/select music to play (that's in my library) from my TV?

Currently, it’s more of a remote display with minimal controls but who knows what might be added in the future. However, the lack of a proper keyboard interface means that search etc might be problematic - I mean, who likes those on screen keyboards you need to navigate by cursor?

Daft tiny screen speaker released, but where is the android tv display app?

I think you can add a Bluetooth keyboard or use the iPhone as a remote, but I get your point.

Very nice addition - I am using it all the time with my new Amp Pro. One thing requires some improvement - the Now Playing screen shows the Track Name and below the Album Name, but there is no info on the Artist. Is it possible to add this info in front of the Album Name* (as is the case in the Now Playing screen on iOS)? Less critical issue: the volume information does not adjust if the changes are made e.g. via remote or via Phone app, and - as a result - when one tries to change the volume via AppleTV it resets to the value displayed (which might be different vs. the actual volume playing) - but this is a small annoyance only. Otherwise - great job, now I am not at all bothered by the fact that the Amp has no physical display. Super!

* if you could also add the Album year, that would be awesome

Funny, as it is the album name that is missing on the WiiM Ultra screen. On the Ultra we only have track name and artist. And on the right side of the album art.

It should be more consistent!

Speed to text with Apple TV remote works great. I use it anytime there’s a keyboard prompt.
