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
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...

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!

Awesome
Just great. Makes life so much easer. Love it
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....

So disappointing....
Like most others, does not work for me. Followed steps 5 times and still nothing. It sees my computers, but never connects.
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!
Fairly Good
Does the job, fairly easy to set up, needs configuring from laptop or pc as well, good instructions on the developers website. Free version is plastered with adverts (I guess thats why its free) and has folder browsing turned off in the hopes you would buy the paid version. The adverts are a real pain, so may look for an alternative. Would have purchased the paid version if adverts were not on the top bar of the free one, sounds strange but thats me. If it comes down in price to .59p (GBP) would recommend as a value and worthwile product.

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

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...
