### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-01-06, version 1.3*

Had some trouble connecting at first but realized it was a setting in my VPN. The app is very intuitive and really quick to respond. Well worth it for any Kodi user with an Apple Watch!

### 3/5 — Broken

*2024-10-01*

Its a shame but skip forward doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — For my Raspberry Pi

*2020-03-03*

A great app for the Pi I have Kodi installed on. I don’t need a mouse!

### 5/5 — Totally works

*2019-05-29, version 1.2*

This is great and the latest update for volume from crown is what I’ve been waiting for!

### 5/5 — Easy to use, intuitive interface with multi-Kodi support

*2017-05-29*

Having tried a few paid Watch apps including Armchair and Quick Remote I was pleasantly surprised to find one supporting multiple Kodi installations. The interface is slicker, cleaner and more intuitive than the others I've tried too. I'd like to be able to access Playlists - perhaps a future version could support that?

### 4/5 — Good but...

*2016-10-25*

Changing Volume with The crown is missing please update

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-06-10, version 1.0.1*

This is the best Kodi watch app that I've found so far.
