### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2024-09-22*

Costs $2, plays an ad on startup that never goes away with no way to skip. When video ad eventually ends, left on blank white screen. SCAM.

**Developer response:** $2? It’s free and there’s no AD video try to update last version

### 3/5 — a good app unfortunately without an offline library

*2024-02-03, version 8.0*

this app offers everything you need. The only thing missing is the ability to save the library of films and series on the device even if you are not connected to a server? Why am I missing this? Before I want to watch something, I can first look at what's available on my cell phone and don't have to do that until I'm sitting in front of the TV

### 5/5 — What a great App

*2023-01-31, version 7.7*

Thanks for this great app. Is it possible to watch a stream horizontally on the iPhone? This works wonderfully on the iPad.

### 4/5 — Was looking good and promising but…

*2022-12-30*

I got it set up. Was fairly easy and intuitive. Didn’t even have to insert colons in my MAC address. App did it for me. I am however having a couple problems. Pause button doesn’t work, at least for music it doesn’t. Also the Now Playing tab shows nothing but “nothing’s playing” when I am clearly listening to something. Other than that, it’s a nice remote with customizable colour scheme and some library options. Would have gave 5 stars but with those two things not working for me, I just couldn’t.

**Developer response:** Thanks for review. We will fix all problems soon as possible

### 5/5 — Better than the native Kodi Remote App

*2021-10-04, version 6.6.5*

This one looks better and works better than the original Kodi remote app. Top!

### 1/5 — Video ads! 🤮🤮🤮🤮

*2021-09-18*

EDIT: now you must watch full screen video ads every 10 seconds. WORST KODI APP EVER!!! By far the best Kodi remote app. One suggestion: in the Media -> Music view, it would be nice (especially for large libraries) to sort music into an Artist / Album / Song hierarchy. Also, on the now playing tab, the cover art as background is a bit much. How about fanart darkened, or ultra blur a la Plexamp. Otherwise terrific.

**Developer response:** What??? There are no ADS inside our app

### 4/5 — Amazing, except one thing

*2021-08-17*

This is all I have ever wanted in a kodi remote, my only complaint is that the music isn't organized in respective albums/playlists

**Developer response:** Thanks for this review! We are really happy to read this.

### 4/5 — Great

*2021-06-23*

Please include the context menu button on the remote. Also need a way to dismiss keyboard without entering any characters first.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review.  For the context menu, try pressing the center button on the remote for a long time.  To close the keyboard in Remote, simply tap anywhere outside the keyboard.

### 2/5 — Aiuto server

*2021-06-02, version 6.5.1*

L’app non parte perché ha bisogno di un server e la ricerca non ne rileva, mi potete aiutare?

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-04-19*

Works out the box, modern UI, no ads/ shady popups

**Developer response:** Thanks for this review. We are really happy to read this
