### 4/5 — Loyal User

*2026-03-08, version 1.14*

Been using this app for many years.
Always been a fan of the customization.
My only complaint is only usable in landscape and has no portrait mode on my iPad mini 
To have this option would be stellar!
Portrait mode works great on my iPhone

### 1/5 — Функционал не стоит денег

*2020-01-22*

Зря потратил деньги, отправлять WOL не может, управления установленными модулями  нет совсем, назначить кнопку на выключение системы нельзя, регулировка громкости по 25% за нажатие + -

### 2/5 — Same as above

*2019-03-11, version 1.14*

Paid for upgrade and still asks me to pay again!
Hope I can get it fixed

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2017-12-23*

Nice app to use, not 100% perfect, but definitely worth the price

### 5/5 — The best

*2017-12-01*

This remote is the best

### 1/5 — Spinning wheel of death

*2017-10-16*

Promising app but it refuses to load my Movie folder.  The rainbow wheels just spins.   Maybe I have too many movies?  I wish it had a option to just display file names as text.  I also wish it had an option to turn off the Music and Downloads display as I just use Kodi for movies.  Maybe they'll fix these issues in a future version.

### 1/5 — Что за хрень

*2017-10-11*

Купил приложение, не обновляется до pro версии.

### 5/5 — Best remote

*2017-06-21*

Adds removed, only right to edit the review. Thanks

### 5/5 — Best Kodi Remote

*2017-06-16*

This app is hands down the best out there.  It has everything I could ever need to use and it even showed me features of Kodi I never knew existed.  I've tried almost every app out there.  None is as clean cut and as smooth as this one.  There are no complaints from this user.  Nice work!  Love it!  Your updates have paid off!

### 2/5 — Paid 4 Pro but Won't Upgrade

*2017-06-04, version 1.9.9*

Yay-Got an email from Support, they've fixed their support site and their trying to help with my issue- hopefully will work out, if so will rate 5 star for sure!!
I paid for the upgrade to Pro yet the App won't upgrade, no Pro features & no app support. I click on app support, it takes me to developer website (FunLabSoft). There's a few app icons on the page (that's it, no menu or anything) I click on Flex & it sends me right back here to App Store Flex Remote page where I started from. Any help would be appreciated. The app keeps telling me I need to pay to upgrade to Pro, tho again I've already paid for the upgrade. I've tried the restore purchase button but it says there's nothing to restore. I even tried clicking on buy but it says that I've already purchased Pro and it will be restored but never does.
