  • 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...

  • 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!
  • 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!
  • Perfect!!!

    This App is amazing, works perfectly on Windows and on Mac, all VLC controls are available within the App, I have the paid version and you can even browse the computer and find the files.
  • Very nice indeed.

    Slickest and most easy to configure VLC remote I have found so far. No need to install anything else on your pc which is great. Crop, frame advance, random on and clear playlist would be nice features to have as would the ability to enqueue a whole folder with one click. Other than features it lacks right now, it is super awesome.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!
