Leave a Review VLC Remote
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.EarlyNerd
Total waste of time
Worked only the first time I installed it, then never again. I'm bitterly disappointed!Sam Pillay
Good but flawed
Everytime i open the app it can't find my mac, so i need to re-install the program from the net that enables it to find it. I would buy the full version, but that might not solve the problem. When it works it's great though. Looks like there's more bugs than this, looking at other reviews. Sort this out and you're onto a winner.Show lessKingalex83
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.Show lessSeapalm
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.Psychocamel
Excellent!
Work perfectly as long as you read the instructions on how to set it up. Well done to the developer!ArghZombie
Waste of time - and a Scam?
VLC has another remote controller which is 1,000 times easier to set up - and totally free. This one INSISTS that you give your email address to get the instructions to install it on your machine. Finally, when the email arrives, it says you can go to a web address. Clicking on the installer from the web, a totally new program called the "helper" is installed with all the dot net framework bits. Unecessary sincr VLC already has the technology pre-built for remote over http port 8080.
I digress, once this was completely installed, it broke. I removed it and unstalled the other one instead.

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.Show lessMissourimedic
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.Show lessSmoochiesBoss
