### 2/5 — The App Did Not Work

*2025-02-10, version 1.3.0*

It wouldn’t connect to my iPhone. Very limited interface. Please improve this app and I will update my rating. Love your software foot Windows .Thank you

### 3/5 — It’s OK but…

*2024-01-30, version 1.3.0*

It is quite handy for you to keep track of your progress while multitasking. But I do wish the most is that it could interact with other DVD fab products such as Streamfab And the video AI converter.

### 3/5 — Great premise but a couple of issues and no updates for 3 years

*2022-12-06, version 1.3.0*

Love the software. Love the concept for this app. The dvd fab software cannot be found through the scanning feature. I have to input the IP address manually. This wouldn’t be a problem, except it loses the IP address if I go to another app on my phone or if the phone goes to sleep.  I see some others have had this issue even 3 years ago. I have put in a ticket. Will post an update if I hear back.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2021-06-01, version 1.3.0*

Why can’t the app do something as simple as remembering your IP address. Pointless if you have to add it manually every time you open it.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-04-14, version 1.3.0*

Are used to work in the past I connect with my PC but no longer communicates. Scans for my PC while it’s making a copy of a movie. I would like to know the status but the app does not communicate or recognize my PC running the DVDfab app.

### 3/5 — Decent, could be amazing

*2020-04-12, version 1.3.0*

Handy to see conversions in progress. There are 3 things I fee this app needs to be great.

1. Ability to remember IPs, I have to add manually and every time I close the app I have to re-add even though the IP stays the same. Fixing/improving auto-discovery would also work.

2. Ability to cancel a conversion (I have had times they will stick and simply increase time to completion. It would be nice to cancel the attempt remotely/from my phone.

3. Ability to tell a conversion’s title to either auto rename/overwrite if name already exists. Just give the options already present in dvdfab to be available in the app

The app right now is decent. Having these 3 things added would make it absolutely amazing. I am sure this is very low priority though since it’s free.

### 1/5 — Useless when it finds server but claims no task

*2019-12-18, version 1.3.0*

Worked great in the past.  Stopped working earlier this year on my iPhone 8 and still broke on my 11. Was great but now only worthy of a delete after checking.

### 2/5 — アプリを開いていないといけない

*2019-09-02, version 1.3.0*

いちいちIPアドレスを入力しないと見られない。
だから通知もこない。
通知が欲しいから入れたアプリなのに(´･_･`)

### 1/5 — 接続できない

*2019-08-28, version 1.3.0*

接続できません。IPもあってるのに、、
改善お願いします

### 3/5 — かろうじて使えます

*2019-08-13, version 1.3.0*

デバイスがスリープモードから復帰するたびに手動でIPアドレスを入れて接続し直さないといけませんが、あればあったで便利です。

### 1/5 — Never connects

*2019-07-21, version 1.3.0*

I had this app before and every time I went to scan it couldn’t locate my DVD fab on my computer even though it was running. I typed in the IP address and it kept telling me it was invalid. Months later I Deleted the app and reinstalled it and tried again, the same thing happened. The app is now deleted for good. Spent too much time trying to get this to work. Great idea though.

### 1/5 — Poo

*2019-06-05, version 1.3.0*

Won’t connect anymore,
Needs update,
It used to work

### 3/5 — annoying issues

*2019-04-28, version 1.3.0*

Can’t find DVDFab with scan then forgets address after adding it in manually when reopening the app

### 1/5 — Does not work on iphone

*2019-01-25, version 1.2.9*

App Cannot find a running DVD fab Blu-ray creator application running on my iMac. Even putting it in manually it connects but does not see any running tasks. Basically not that useful

### 1/5 — つかえない

*2019-01-19, version 1.2.9*

タスクが表示しないです！

### 1/5 — 使えたら便利なのに…

*2018-12-21, version 1.2.8*

全く使えず…IPアドレスもポートも合ってるのに…ちゃんと使えるように改善お願いします。

### 3/5 — Confusing to set up

*2018-10-01, version 1.1.0*

The scan did not work even though the DVDFab was running on my Mac. I tried entering the IP manually. I kept adding the IP listed on the website, but received an error message stating that the IP did not exist. Well, after a few minutes of frustrated attempts a light bulb went off in my head. I noticed that the Port had the same numbers as the last five on the IP. I deleted those numbers from the IP and voila...it worked!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t remember my Mac studio IP address

*2026-08-05, version 1.3.0*

This app doesn’t remember my Mac Studio IP address. And the scan feature never finds DVDFab running on my Mac Studio, not even when I’m running DVDFab 13! There’s no place to input my IP address and save it. So I’m forced to remember and put in the last two digits of my Mac’s, IP address each and every time. Which makes this app useless to me, because I don’t have time to have to manually type in my Mac Studio’s IP address each and every time I want to just check the status of rip in progress.

### 1/5 — Failed to function

*2025-11-18, version 1.3.0*

Doesn’t do anything after opening on my iPhone 16.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-10-18, version 1.3.0*

It simply does not connect.

### 1/5 — INUTILE

*2023-05-26, version 1.3.0*

COMPLÈTEMENT INUTILE SANS INTERET NE PEUT COPIER UN FILM ET ENCORE  MOINS LE REGARDER

### 1/5 — Not updated in years

*2022-06-22, version 1.3.0*

The application does not remember the IP address, it’s been reported for years, I don’t understand how the developer can’t fix such a simple bug. This app would be very useful, but because this has not been fixed, it’s virtually  useless.

### 1/5 — ゴミ

*2021-06-22, version 1.3.0*

ゴミ

### 1/5 — 意味がない

*2021-04-18, version 1.3.0*

このアプリがなくてもコンピューターで同じ情報が見れる。いちいちipアドレスを入力しないといけないから通知すら来ない

### 1/5 — 接続できない

*2020-08-08, version 1.3.0*

ipアドレスいれても接続できません

### 1/5 — いちいちIPアドレスを入れさすな！っちゅーの

*2020-08-02, version 1.3.0*

いちいちIPアドレスを入れさすな！っちゅーの

### 1/5 — 全く使い物にならない

*2020-02-15, version 1.3.0*

ジャングルのソフトもエラーばかりで違法性の無い個人で撮影した動画の編集すらできず、このアプリも反応せず全く使えない。
このぼったくり会社大丈夫か？

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-10-26, version 1.3.0*

I love this app.  I can just start a process and walk away and get notifications on my phone of the status of my process.  Easy!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2019-02-14, version 1.3.0*

I had to manually enter my computer IP but after that it worked fine.  Notifications etc.

### 5/5 — It works

*2017-11-18, version 1.0.2*

If it doesn’t see it on your network, you need to allow the program access through your pc firewall. Obviously WiFi (same network only)

### 5/5 — Does exactly as described

*2017-10-07, version 1.0.2*

I had no trouble at all. Didn’t have to enter an IP address. I had DVDFAB running on my lap and was already creating a blu-ray ISO. When I opened the app, it connected automatically and the progress of the ISO file appeared in the app. Thanks for this feature!!

### 5/5 — Drab Remote

*2017-07-08, version 1.0.2*

Awesome app, I can make 3 movies @ once to my USB portable drive, then hook my portable to my blue ray without using Dvds

### 5/5 — Works perfect

*2017-05-08, version 1.0.2*

Those that gave it one star after the scan and DVD fab pops up just click on DVD fab and it shows the progress

### 5/5 — Works Perfect!!!

*2017-02-24, version 1.0.1*

Works Perfect!!! Can check progress without waking PC!!!

### 5/5 — Super

*2017-02-24, version 1.0.1*

Super fait la job

### 4/5 — Does not save computer info

*2018-10-29, version 1.2.5*

Can not get scan to work. Enter ip address manually and it works, but does not save address, so it will need to be entered each time. Why not save the last entered address?

### 4/5 — Great but add DNS support

*2017-02-22, version 1.0.1*

Allow DNS so we can access externally with port forwarding. Please!
