Not worth it. I paid the 4.99 and it wasn’t worth it, the app has to be restarted after a couple min cause it loses connection and won’t even find my pc until I close and restart, needless to say I definitely won’t be renewing my subscription, had a lot of hope for this app too pretty disappointing.

good for a free app.. Volume slider is impossible to grab. I often hit the "BUY FULL VERSION" button instead. It'd be nice if they could incorporate the Touch's volume control, but I doubt they will since it's only the free version. thats amother thing I don't like; this program has a paid version, even though it's a frontend for the web interface of a GPL licensed program...

Works Great!. I don't know what everyone is complaining about? I'm still using the trial and it works great and fast! I'm assuming its the computer and wifi that must be bad to have serious lag issues and not working for others. I have been debating on purchasing it so it can be even better. It works great for me!

Excellent functionality!. This is a fantastic app with numerous functions. Other reviewers commented that you can't open files on your counter with it, true, you have to open them on your computer but then you can watch an entire movie without the need to navigate on your computer. Seek, pause, change playback speed-you can even take a screen shot with this remote and it saves to your computer! Awesome app and also super easy setup-just make sure to enable Bluetooth on both devices.

Upgrade to the full version. I had the lite version for a minute and it worked well enough for me, but upgraded to the full shortly after to support the dev and get more features and haven't regretted it for a second, if you think the lite version is good, you should see the features in the full version. Very well worth the $3 he's asking.

Wonderful!. This is such a powerful tool. You have so much control at your fingertips.

Good idea, needs work. Discovery of VLC servers in the network is a hit and miss. It can not list directories with many files. It just shows those directories as empty. First I thought app had accidentally deleted all files in the directory, but no, it just can not list the files. The threshold seems to be around 20 files or so. This means if you many movies or tv shows under the same directory (normal situation), this app is useless.

Convenient, easy to use. Super convenient, I was able to watch whole movies using my phone as a remote. setup time was less than a minute

Thank you. Thank you for making this app it is very fun and usefull I can't wait to trick my friends when they least expeact it I will be most likely be buying the full version of this app but at the mean time I am sort of money by 30 cents :-( I thank you again and I mean it because I have never written a reveiw on any app before.

Works Great!. Setup took 2 minutes. I'm not sure why others have had trouble getting it to work. I opened VLC player on my pc, ran the installer program, and then opened this app on my iPhone. It found the computer instantly. Awesome!

Awesome!. I only used it for a minute and I will get the paid version right now. I'm glad there was a free version to test with first. One weird thing is that I couldn't drag and drop videos on the playlist on my laptop. But if I opened a new instance of vlc, it would be able to in there, just not in the one opened from the connection utility.

Price. The only app in the store that is worth every cent. But no more.

Great App - and great customer service. Exactly the app I was looking for, and it performed flawlessly for a presentation I gave. Rob was extremely helpful and responsive when I had a question about playback speed (it’s there - I just didn’t scroll down to find it LOL). Thanks, Rob! Highly recommended.

step by step instructions PC setup. I was stuck on this FOREVER before i found the problems. hope this helps someone. 1. Download VLC player's latest version on your PC. 2. go to tools>>preferences. 3. In the bottom left corner, choose "All" under 'show settings'. 4. In the left column navigate to interface>>main interfaces. 5. check the box next to 'http remote comtrol interface'. 6. save and close this window. Leave the VLC player open (play a movie if you want). 7. get iphone app and click on it. 8. under the 'saved computers' header, click on "add computer". 9. Write anything under 'remote name'. 10. put your PC's IP address under 'remote address'. (find you ip address by running ipconfig in cmd window). 11. once entered, click on save at top right. 12. You should be able to see the computer name you just entered and there should be a VLC cone in front of it. 13. You are good to go!! other tips: it might take a minute/restart to see the VLC cone. click on rescan button (like a satellite dish) to rescan the network.

Reliable VLC Remote. After my Apple remote stopped working this app was a great alternative that I've been using ever since.

Awesome app. If you watch movies on your TV using your computer as a source, then this is a must-have. I no longer have to access my laptop to pause or rewind. I had some setup problems at first, but it was my fault (my iPhone was connected via 3G rather than my WiFi network.) Once I fixed that, setup was very simple.

This app is great!. My girlfriend has been skeptical about the iPhone, but when she jokingly asked if I could control the video on my PC from my phone, I just had to prove to her that I could. The setup of the VLC Addon seems a bit flaky, but it did work after several tries. Excellent!

Amazing!. Fantastic app!

Works like a charm. Recent updates have fixed the few remaining bugs (at least what I can find). - App now continues to work through system updates on both MacOS and iOS without re-running VLC remote installer. - Love the simple and advanced interfaces. The ability to navigate my file system to select other files to play is great, even though I still prefer to navigate directly from my system.

Works when it wants too. Until it works all the time I’m not paying for full version my problem is it connects when it wants to I did all the trouble tips worked for a week now doesn’t fee hours later it works and so on Please if you have any suggestions greatly appreciate

A bit difficult to set up. I bit difficult to set up. Could be far easier. More explicit instructions need to be given that you must install a VLC plugin to do this. It's not there by default. Once you get it working it is amazing and works great.

It works.... It works pretty good. If you're having trouble getting it to see vlc just reinstall vlc so that the preferences get updated. Set up took about a minute after I figured that little secret out.

Awesome program... eventually. Setup is arcane and not necessarily fully reflected in the instructions (Tip: Give the app time to catch up to VLC any time after you change settings... it won't work at all at first but then suddenly clicks a few minutes later), but once you get it working, it works quite nicely.

Excellent little app. This free app does a spectacular job of controlling VLC on both my Mac and my HTPC windows machine. Play/Pause/skip/ff/rw/scrub and even volume control. I am even able to easily switch between multiple machines, stopping one and starting another as I move through the house.

Totally worth it. Get the pay version.. I don't even recommend wasting your time with the FREE version. If you run VLC, then this remote is what you are looking for, the pay version lets you search through your folders to get what media you want to watch, and gives you complete control. Very easy to set up, download the remote app to your Iphone, get the setup helper on your laptop and run it, and your done.. and if that doesn't work because your firewall is too strong, then use the troubleshooting guide on their website and your golden.

Version 9.2 is broken. This latest update is broken. The app used to work, then when I opened it this evening, I noticed a blank grey screen with no buttons, no on screen options, nothing. Checked the update log, and it updated to version 9.2 on July 15 - the date of this review. I deleted and re-downloaded, restarted the phone, same result. First world problem for a free app, but save yourself the headache and wait until they fix this. Bummed

Epic App. All the controls I could ask for and more!

Don't bother. Most of the buttons you press prompt you to buy the full version. They send you by email the link to download the computer portion, the server that this app talks to. With this free version you cannot browse the playlist. Just use skip button to goto next movie. It's pretty basic. You can fast forward. I lost my apple remote so tried using this as a frontrow subsitute.

Latency can be terrible. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I can launch it, it shows whats playing, I hit the Pause button and 20 seconds later the movie pauses. Then it works, then it stops working.

Excellent app. Excellent app, vlc rocks, worked perfectly after downloading the pc file. I love this app. I am sticking with the free version because i have no need for folder viewing.. Definatly recommend to anyone running vlc on a home network

Works great. I just put this on my 5 and its working great...controls vlc on my mini (2011 running lion) perfectly. It didn't find the mini at first, but after running through the help/setup thing it popped up and has been working great. Thanks!

Such an impressive app. I’m so surprised at the capabilities of this app. It’s so helpful and offers control over so many more options than I imagined. I highly recommend it.

I use this app regularly.. Strangely I hadn't any problems setting this up. I read the instructions and it literally took less than 3 minutes. Of course we all have different levels of tech-literacy. I don't know how many times I used this to control volume, browse other video files and rewind/fast forward. Also, when I watch a series of something, I can add all of the shows to a playlist eliminating the need to select the video on the computer. You know what would make this app superb though? Adding a Bluetooth feature. Then I'd consider buying the full version.

Great for HTPC. This app is great! I have seen a few out there that require you to install a server side program to run and control them and i'm happy that one has finally used the web controls of VLC to achieve this instead. I like that it scans the network in the beginning that way you don’t have to do anything after setting up VLC on the computer to allow web control. I’m so happy with the app that

Actually works, with a few issues. I’m impressed with how well this app works and how easy it is to get working, but I did find that I had to close the app on my iPad in order to prevent frequent pauses in playback. Once the video is playing and the app is closed, it works perfectly.

Sub fee. Sub fee, would have bought it maybe paid but not being black mailed into yearly subscriptions. No thanks.

Trouble connecting. This app connects to my VLC.... sometimes. I don't have these issues with other VLC remotes connecting to the same computer. Other gripes: *Instead of having a normal volume slider where you select your volume along a continuum, in this app for some unknown reason, the current position stays constant and you slide the whole continuum in relation to it. Definitely backwards from all other Apple apps. *Moving within the interface is confusing. Getting from one screen to the next isn't intuitive nor is knowing what controls are under which icon or secondary screen. I was hoping this would be a great app in which case I'd buy the paid version, but this doesn't work well at all.

Just what I wanted! :). The free version is app is all what I needed: Pause/Play, Rew/Forward, Volume control. Now no more jumping out of the bed to pause a movie everytime I receive a phone call. Thanks for keeping these basic features free :)

Works like magic. I am so impressed with this program and company. With their superb instructions, I was able to not only set this up to work with my MBP with Leopard, but also with my ancient iMac with Tiger on it. Everything works great , no problems or glitches and I use it daily. I'll be upgrading to the full version next to support the developers. Thank you for such a useful program and for providing such terrific instructions and customer support!

Perfect. This app does everything that I need it to do. I love it!

Very good app, I. If this is too difficult to set up, you may want to try something easier. Like sleeping. I can't think of anything easier to set up. I ran the remote setup app on my PC and all my macs. The remote app then found them all immediately. No real setup required. Thanks for making a great app that is easy to use and a no-brainer set up. Glad I didn't need an engineering degree. My only point of contention is when I tried to set it up at work. I work in the IT department of the county library and we use Macs. When it scanned for computers via Bonjour, it found all 350 Macs on the network. Unfortunately it tried to show them all in the list and the program choked badly. Instead of displaying any computer it finds in Bonjour, maybe have it so it only displays those that it detects has VLC up and running on. I'd definitely go 5.5 stars if that was changed. I know there are very few that would be in my situation, but what if one of our patrons was going to give a presentation or show a video using VLC and VLC Remote in the library?

Awesome app.. Very useful.

Unusable after recent update. After the latest update to this app, it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I have the software installed on my computer, but the app refuses to connect. It used to work great, total 4/5 star and I was about to purchase the full version. I will no longer be doing that, as there is no guarantee I will get it to work. The help menu, both through the app and the creator's website, is not helpful in the slightest. I have tried all troubleshooting options to no avail. Time to find a replacement app.

Super developer!. I have had VLC on my computer for years and just found the remote app this morning. I'm not a techie and dropped a note to the developer for some help...he responded within minutes! I know now why what he does is so successful...he believes in customer support. Thank you very much for that!

Super useful, wish for faster connection. Amazing in every way. Just wish for a little faster connect to the host PC to gain control a little quicker. Nice job man.

It works. Can't give zero stars. Spent an hour but this thing just doesn't works. Deleting it. Update jan 23: after my friend told me how to set it up I tried again, only thing I need to add my computer it didn't found initially. You need to have your ip address to manually enter in this app. I saw a problem while reconnecting as movies are hour long and my phone autolocks in a min. Half of the time I need to restart the app and then use which defeats the purpose of snap pause for me. Good thought, could be better.

Great app. One small flaw. As the title says, app is great. Full featured and powerful. The one function that they appear to have overlooked and failed to address (and that comes in necessary quite frequently) is the lack of an ability to respond to dialogue boxes on the local machine. They can pop up over the video, requiring physical presence at the keyboard/mouse/trackpad in order to respond, negating the point of the app.

Just what I needed. Setup intstructions on the Internet were very clear and the app recognized VLC right away, once completed. It's not quite as responsive as apple's remote app, but still works well. It would be nice if they'd add the time to the position bar though, so you could seek out a specific place in a song or movie. Overall though, for a free app, it does exactly what it says it does and keeps me from having to get out of bed!

Easy and great. If it is hard for you to set up, stick with downloading music. Everyone else, Great easy app. Few things a little irratating (changing volume and pressing itune store button by mistake happens often) but all in all I love it free. version was all i really needed!

AWESOME APP. You can control every detail of VLC with the app.. When you get a call the movie pauses automatically and then it resumes, I really like how smart the app is.. I really love it

Excellent!. Work perfectly as long as you read the instructions on how to set it up. Well done to the developer!

Best remote app. It works better that just a remote I can even browse file on my comp. One of my favourite apps and I actually logged in to write a review about.

Easy, Fast and better than expected. The app is easy to install and easy to setup. It works perfectly, no delay at all. I can re-order my playlist, also change subtitles and everything that you need to use as a remote of VLC. Perfect!

V good app. Brilliant. Pro even better.

Pointless. As Ipod Touch does not support what this app does what is the point...but its free

Excellent. Works beautifully worthwild application cant wait to buy the full version.

VLC app. This app doesn't work half the time. Even after I install the software on my computer it works the first time and then doesn't recognize my computer anymore after that.

No good. This app is the worser app that I never get. I don't even know how to do in this app...

Pointless. Why have a free app that does nothing except show you what the full price version looks like??? Wastes everyone's time.

Excellent stuff!. Works like a charm - just need to go to the link the app gives you on the computer you want it to work with. Works perfectly - don't need to get up everytime you want to pause a movie anymore!

Great app works well. Overall a great app, little fiddly to get set up and working properly but once it is, it works a treat and there are plenty of help files that are easy to follow. Since my computer is connected to my tv i now can open new titles pause and play from my couch instead of having to get up and use the mouse. Its a great idea.

No problem!. Didn't have a problem in installing..all simple & straight forward. Cool, now I can control lappy..basically only but thanks!

Essential for anyone using VLC. This app is essential for anyone using VLC. It’s great having a remote instead of sitting close by the laptop or getting up and playing movies all the time. Now you can sit and relax and watch show after show.

Freaking sweet app. Ok ok it's really annoying to set this app properly .. Took me 30 min till it started working smoothly..but once you get this workin it makes your life easy. specially when your both legs are in cast n don't want to get in ur wheelchair often :D

Useless!. It would be really good, except that it doesn't actually work!

Yawn. Helper email is not sent so probably just adds you email to a mail list. Otherwise did not work for me.

Dam awesome. Excellent app, works as advertised.

Great app. Makes being lazy so much easier.

Reliable and easy to use. Works well. A convenient addition to VLC.

Cute AF. 4 of these 5 stars are for the stunning goddess in the preview pictures..... 😍

Works perfectly. I am very pleased with the app as it works exactly as I want. I don't use it enough to justify the purchase of the upgrade but would if I used it everyday.

Awesome. Love it it’s awesome and does what you want. You should pay for premium. Worth not getting up from the couch for it!

Great app. This is an orsome app well worth getting

Great. app lost a point for the ads that features Girls In a certain way OBVIOUSLY MEANS I NEED FULL VERSION

Really good app. Troubleshooting instructions are easy to follow and effective .

Amazing App. For me, sitting in bed at night watching movies is something I do regularly. However having to get up to pause the movie or change to a particular point infuriated me. This app is easy to use. The most common controls are just sitting there right in sight... You can see where your media is at, how your playlist is looking... The design is stunning and the response time is almost equal to that of a keyboard and mouse (granted I am on the iPhone 4 so I have limited processing power). All in all, any fault I found in it was easily overlooked. To anyone considering this App and basing off of bad past reviews... Remember those reviews must've been for a version long ago... Cause theres nothing wrong here! I'm buying the full version tomorrow

App pauses file when opening. Hi devs. Great app thank you so much. However, when opening the app it pauses the file playing on the laptop. Which is problematic for me when I’m running a non theatrical cinema! Would be great if this bug could be fixed. I’m running it on an MacBook Pro 2017 and and iPhone SE latest

Doesent work. Says that my Mac doesn't have vlc. Definitely not getting full version

extra softwar. This app cannot be setup without downloading software from the vendors web site. the app should work without any extras being required and this makes me very sus about it.

Awesome app!. Love it!!

Whoo-hoo!. Fantastic, no more crappy mac remote problems! Had to reinstall and restart a couple of times to get it working but seems OK now. Would suggest those having probs to do the same - definitely worth it.

Easy to setup and use. Simple setup on PC and easy to use on iPhone. App does crash a fair bit on the iPhone but reboots in less than a second, so why cares! It's not like you use it for more than a few seconds at a time anyway! Once it stop crashing I'll buy the full version.

Beautiful remote. Top shelf

Trash. Title says it all

Great app. Bit of a speed bump setting it up but once it was up, it has been working flawlessly. Once waking the iPhone and entering the app, the refresh and controls work instantly. 5/5

Good idea... bad execution. I'm giving this two stars... one for the effort of the developer and the other one for this being free. But that's where the fun stops... I'm sorry to say this but this application shows the clear difference of having a good user interface orin this case, of not having it. The controls are clunky, laggy and unresponsive and being limited to only controling one application and asking to pay $4 for a couple extra features but still only controling one application... I don't know. The worst of all though is the volume control which being probably the most important of all is seriously narrow and having two active buttons which both easily pressed by accident take you out of the application sitting right on it's (already narrow) bottom edge is infuriating. Please spend more time on the drawing board working on the user interface and the whole control scheme and less time thinking about useless functions like custom skins and you might have a winner here...

Tried it, loved it, bought it. First of all: The free version does everything you need for basic viewing. Second: It's very easy to setup (involves downloading a program on your computer) Third: it works perfectly.

Great app. At first I thought this app stunk and was a waste of time till the update came which gave it more interface and didn't crash anymore, I love it and works like any remote I already have except I can browse my pc for files I recommend getting this app if you have vlc.

It works. Very useful...

Highly recommend. Love this app. Always connects without any issues and let's me control VLC via my iPhone. Lifesaver when your laptop is connected to the TV via HMDI and you don't want to get up off the couch/bed!

Rubbish. Connected once and could never connect again. Went through entire trouble shooting guide. rubbish dont bother

WiFi problems. Works ok but every time i connect to computer i lose the WiFi connection and i need to restart router and delete vlc remote to get WiFi back. Luckily I didn't buy a full version;)

Worked great before update. It worked great before the update. Now it's only comparable with vlc 2.0. Which is garbage because it cannot play .mp4 files without lagging. And the remote update isn't backwards comparable with version 1.11 of vlc.

Works well. Does exactly what it advertises

Nope. I’d give 0 stars if I could!!! Did not pair with my Mac at all. Such a time waster

Perfect. Laptop hooked to receiver, hdmi, hdmi from receiver to tv...movies being played from laptop, music too...perfect. Who needs boxee box anymore with this app?

Does nothing all good comments are for paid app. This app is only to show you what you get if you buy the five dollar app. This app does absolutely nothing but show the outline of the paid app

The best!. I'm lazy as hell! This app rules! And it makes you look like a baller infront of all of your lazy friends!! Chicks dig it too! Makes you look all technology savvy and stuff! Aces!

The worst kind of free version. The free version does literally nothing except take a bunch of time to install and then tell about everything it can't do, which is everything. I like the idea of this app but the time wasted on the free version sours me on paying for anything. Tacky marketing.

Great app,. Does just what it's supposed to do, and very easy to set up. Gonna support these developers and buy the full app. Works great on my MacBook Pro.

Amazing. This app is so well put together and well thought out. So many useful tools! I've always preferred vlc player for playing movies and this app makes it that much better. 5 stars hands down.

Amazing. Amazing!!!!!

doesn't work, very poor support. app didn't work, 2 weeks past, no support, this free app did what it supposed to do: i demo-ed it and decide to not get the paying version,

Latest version broke things. After this latest update, my saved computers list was erased... and cannot be recreated. However when it works it's great.

Works Great. Just need to follow the setup instructions step-by-step. Also had clear troubleshooting steps on the support site. Was up and running in a few minutes. Bought the full version.

Perfect for my purpose. A lot of thought has gone into the design of this app. It does exactly what I want and I will likely buy the paid version to gain access to file browsing. I play media on my laptop, with output to my TV. This app let's me control tons of options for playback, right down to adjusting the audio/video sync as well as the subtitle/video sync. The seek functions are very flexible. This app makes it easy for me to control my media from my phone, instead of using a "mousepad" style app. Great work!

Freezes. First time starting it found my Mac and VLC. All the buttons would not respond. Second time trying it would not even start. Uninstalled. To bad. It looked pretty good.

Superb!. I had no issues getting this to work, no idea what others are complaining about. I love it! I will upgrade to the full version ASAP

Very useful. This is a great app if you like VLC.

So disappointing..... Like most others, does not work for me. Followed steps 5 times and still nothing. It sees my computers, but never connects.

dont waste time with free ver.. The free version does nothing, basically an add for the full version. Full version shows potential but you wouldnt know from this garbage, it wont do anything not even for a limited time.

Useless. Useless. Only useful if u pay for full version

Use the LITE!. If you are going to use this app, use the Lite version. I’ll save you the $7 and a hassle with Rob Jonson @ Hobbyist. Totally unprofessionally.

Awesome. Makes my life easier

Bug. Était très bien avant la dernière maj.. Maintenant la liste de lecture reste la même malgré le changement de liste, la fermeture de programme ou le redémarrage du téléphone..

Crashes. Crashes my whole iPad and also crashes every time I pause my movie

It does the job !!. Have tried other apps this one worked fine and it's easy to set up

Not bad. Not bad but everyone reading this, you don't have to buy this, the lastest version of vlc on all platform's let's you do 100% what the free and paid version do, within a Web browser, there's video tutorials on YouTube.

Who ever said this app doesn't work. Is clueless. I just installed it on my iPhone running 5.1.1. VLC is installed on my MacBook and IMac. It does exactly what it says it will. Make sure you send the setup app to your email so you can configure everything. Works flawless. THANKS!!

Very bad!!!. Doesn’t work at all! Don’t waste your time!!

Great App. Works flawlessly and exceeded all of my expectations. The only thing I would caution you about is the setup on your computer is a little glitchy, and might take a couple tries to get to work. It also cannot be deleted even after installing. All in all though, definitely a great app.

Works as advertised. No issues, love being able to browse my folders and add to the playlist right from the app. Has saved my bacon at work a few times as well!

So much potential... so doesn't work for me.. After multiple updates and multiple attempts at getting the lite version to even work once, I am left no choice but to leave a terrible review for this app. Regardless of how tech savvy I might be, I just can't get this app to work at all. Why on earth would anybody want to pay for the full version if you can't even get the lite version to work?

Great app. Easy to use.

Amazing. One of my favorite apps for watching videos from my laptop on my tv. Works great!

Non. On peut rien faire avec la version gratuite...

No longer works. At all, and for no reason. Was great when it did.

Don't buy the complete version.. The free app works verry good but you cant browse your computer with it. So i bouth the complete verssion and now nothing is working. They suggest to remove anti viruses, firewall... To change it to very low quality softwares. How many time will it takes before I get hack if I do wath they say?? I dose nat feel like I should thrust them...

Awesome app. Take the time to install it on the computer and phone. Totally recommended and getting the full version as soon as possible. I love this app.

keep working on headset mode!!!. headset mode is on experimental mode, still, it's probably the best feature never add to an apps!!! i really hope you will continue to work on this feature because the potential is so big being able to listen vlc audio wirelessly through my iPhone is just fantastic thank you hobbyist, and i will certainly upgrade to the paid version if this feature become a bit more usable ps: sorry for my bad english, wrote in english from a french guy just for making sure you will be able to read that comment

Perfection!. Watching from other side of the room, all relaxed with my feet up... Controlling everything with my iPhone just like from my iMac!

Great app. Good controls. I like it

Ugh.. This is horrendous - I downloaded the free version to decide if I wanted to pay for the full version, but (like another reviewer below) I found that the only thing the free version does is have options for things that I need to have the full version to use. It does NOTHING (except irritate the user). And the interface is ugly. While I previously would have considered purchasing this app, the skeezy way this is presented has turned me off... and I'm not paying $5 for an ugly app.

not working at all.... I have win7 64bits here. It's not working at all... tried for an hour... Edited the hosts file correctly, enabled the http in vlc, even opened VLC to the whole World for testing, and still not working... I can see the computer easily from the app, but it always say VLC can't be found on the computer... This is a freaking shame... You can be sure I won't buy the full version now....

Unstable app. Constantly freezes and goes back to the set up screen, doesn't work

awesome. awesome app, very well put together. would be great to have the headset function to get past the beta stage

Love this app. Makes life easier

Perfect. Fonctionne comme un charme ;)-

Awesome app!!. This app works perfectly with my Mac mini!!! A+++

Amazing app! Use it a lot. Worth it.. I've been using this app for a while and it's awesome. Would like to see a system volume feature/slider added. Liking the new experimental headset mode.

Review. Apps alright, but 5 bux for the full version, def. not worth it. Make it free :)

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Simply AMAZING. Finally found this app and it works just like you think it should not to mention it puts your entire library at your fingertips.

Wish all apps worked this good. I control a movie night with sequenced trailers and intermission. All with this app. It's spectacular and very easy to use.

Good app. The response time on the app and the vlc on the computer functions well and it doesn't lose connection. Rarely does it drop, lots of controls that I am still learn. Overall very good.

Excellent. Lag-free remote with surprisingly deep functionality. Can do everything from taking a screenshot to searching through the file system for other videos. Excellent app!

Great idea, so-so implementation.... There was no way to manually save or even enter a computer IP. Sure, there was an option in the menu, but, once selected, no way to bring-up the keyboard to type anything for the entry.

It's okay.... It works just fine, but the controls feel cramped so it's hard to spin the dials, and press the buttons precisely.

Great user service!!. Does exactly what it's supposed to. Plus the guides and service supplied to set it up are wonderfully simple and helpful.

Great application. Works perfectly. Helps me avoid going to the computer just to increase volume or to pause the movie.

Best app on here. If you have VLC and like me watch slot of movies this app is a must. My wife even loves this app. Simple and easy to use. Am planning on buying full version this weekend!!! Kudos!!!!

Finally!!!!. Great app. Easy install and works great. One of those apps that really just makes the iPod touch/ iphone so amazing.

Great Job. App does everything I says it can do. Will definitely be upgrading real soon. I don't usually give rates but this app was worth it!!

Tons of features, works well. Tons of features, works well

Freaking Awesome. I'm using a MacBook Pro iPhone 6 to run this app. A little tricky to setup the first time. But once it was setup it works great. Now the remote is on my phone. Love it!!!

Alright. The app is good to make sure the $5 version will connect properly before buying it.

Annoying. Requires installation of additional software on PC and works okay. However: Functionality limited more or less to "start ", "stop", and volume. Every other input triggers an annoying popup asking to purchase the paid version. Full of advertising popups.

Works exactly as advertised. Very simple and easy to use

Simple and convenient. I wanted this so I'd be able to control my divx box from the other side of the room while watching movies. It's great at it and simple to set up. Enough said.

Update messed up the app. It was great before. You lined up what you wanted to play and you could switch between shows and control volume. It was perfect. I updated now it doesn't recognize that I'm running vlc. Really disappointing. After way too much time wasted trying to figure it out in done.

Wonderful Versatility!. Does everything it says it does very well! Incredibly intuitive and useful!

Almost useless. Apparently you have to buy the "pro" version to be able to select a file. All this does is start and stop something that has been queued up on the computer. Bait and switch is what comes to mind. And normally I'm a big fan of VLC. I just wanted something that worked on an iPod.

Good get the full version. I love this app however the full version is so much better i can make and delete playlists plus browse all media files on my computer

must have app. if you use vlc to watch video at home this is a must have app. Get the free version and then pay for it once you use it and love it.

Installation could be better.. Tryed running there automatic setup on my computer but it never detected VLC. Followed their manual instalation and it worked perfectly. Great app, but pc side software could be better. Running WinXP & VLC v0.9.8a.

If it worked dependably, this would be awesome. Unfortunately, getting this app to work reliably was an impossible task. After extensive troubleshooting, I was finally able to get it working but then the next update broke connectivity. I've used the automated setup utility and tried manual configuration without luck. I would desperately like to use this app with my media center -- if it only worked!

Easy setup and real results!. I had all but given up on finding a reliable VLC remote, but then this gem came into my life! It's extremely simple to setup and use. And it actually works!

Works perfect!. Works perfect! Took about 2 minutes to set up. Definitely recommend.

Works good .... Before the release of the setup application, setup was tricky to follow all the steps. Now it is a breeze. I have since purchased the paid App and enjoy the added features.

Works great!. I am extremely happy with this app! It does everything I need it to do for media center pc. I did have to make an exception for it in my norton firewall...otherwise, it was very easy to setup. Thanks for a great app.

Useless. After connecting to my vlc, it does not show the media currently in my vlc playlist. It says that the playlist is empty. I was considering to buy the full version after reading the description, but if the free version dos not do what it says it does.... well, better pass this one. Hope you fix this (and make a better UI, btw, the current one is unusable and horrible)

Love the app. Its easy to use and helps aton when you're in bed or lazy to get to your computer. One thing after update widget stopped working.

Great remote app!. Works very well! I like the interface design as well as how accurately the controls work over wireless. The desktop version should come with the configuration instead of having to download and run the "helper" application though. Other than that, flawless!

Just what have been needing. This app is amazing. best of both worlds, simple yet has just the right amount of features.

website. you guys need to get a better hosting service for the website ... I can't download the PC part of the program your website is just not loading

Totally broken. This app used to be great except the ads on an already crowded screen... But now? Totally broken. App quits randomly when you do multitasking; media library not shown; when you click on a video to play, the app tries to ask you to buy the paid version, giving you 3 options that's impossible to read or click. These issues effectively killed the app. Now it's a useless junk.

Scam. This is a scam to get you to buy the full version. Isn't it against the rules to post an item in iTunes and promote the item that it has all these features but non of those features work. Everything you touch forces you into buying the paid version. It's a scam please report on this

Free version does nothing. The free version allows you to connect to remote to your computer, however on order to use the remote you have to pay for the full version. I wish they made that clearer in the description.

Good app for free. Can be polished a bit though. The slider bars are not as responsive as I would have expected.

Great app. Works excellently. Haven't had problems with advertising or inability to use this. Easy to set up. Great app

Awesome. Not really much to say here....only that they simply work. I think that pretty much says it all. And, it's difficult finding products that work with Ubuntu, but theirs does, just as they say it will. No muss, no fuss. And it's free! How do they do that?

No good it's a scam to DL. Better paid apps out there that can control more than vlc for 5$ (like rowmote pro) now I know this was a waist time.. after dl ing & hooked up, I only see there adds constantly put up in my face to buy paid version. not useful at all. I don't like getting ripped off. Make app cheaper or free. please. And Thank you vlc!

It Works. Works great. Thanks for the trial. I think I'll purchase the iPad version here shortly! BTW, I had to Google "Balls of Fury" and see what it was... I definitely didn't guess that it was a comedy. Looks neat though; I like Christopher Walken.

Exactly as advertised, nothing more. Tip: Queue up a few things on a playlist and you can choose between them/play one after another!

A perfect app. downloaded this app not expecting much but was surprised to find that it was exactly what Id been wanting and more.

Nice app. Nice free app i really like it it gives me a way to change tracks while playing games on the computer without minimizing the window thx

Great App. The app is great. You do need to install a small software on your PC for this app to work. Needed less than 2 minutes to install and configure. Works great.

Good enough!. I download movies from megaupload and put them in a playlist, esp if its a 3 part HD download, and hook ky computer macbook up to my flatscreen via HDMI. Now I can stop, rewind, ff, pause and play, control volume and full screen, and skip scenes all from the comfort of my back side. Lol. Very handy in that regard!

This app is Awesome. It has helped so much. THANK YOU!. If you don't know about this app or the VLC program you need to it is a must have!!!!

Works like a charm (just follow the instructions). Great app! It worked flawlessly. I just followed the directions on their website.

Great program. It a good program can be a bit buggy sometimes, but it serves it purpose. Can wait to buy the full program

It really works!. Fantastic app! So cool. Though if you have a firewall you can't adjust (like the one on my work pc) it won't work...but nothing else would either. Works great with my personal PCs.
