*2017-07-26*

Cant get it to open, can't even find my fire stick.  at a loss

### 1/5 — Not what I expected I want my money back

*2017-02-14*

Not what I expected I want my money back

**Developer response:** What did you expect this app would be doing? It's a remote control for Kodi.

### 5/5 — EASILY the BEST Kodi Remote

*2017-02-10*

I have used/tried 95% of the remote apps.  This one is by far the best!  Can handle large libraries with ease.  Has options the others do not!  Can change poster/fan art via this app and a bunch more!

### 1/5 — Trash

*2016-12-22*

Doesn't even work

**Developer response:** If you have a problem connecting this remote control to your Kodi machine you can find some more info in the help or use the menu option support / suggestions in the app.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2016-07-24*

I had to go to my settings with the app and the app wasnt in my settings

**Developer response:** You need to go to the settings of your Kodi machine. Once configured you can add the settings in the app. If you have a problem connecting this remote control to your Kodi machine you can find some more info in the help or use the menu option support / suggestions in the app.

### 4/5 — Best app

*2016-04-02*

Hands down the best app to control kodi through the phone! Hope the developer keeps updating it.

### 1/5 — Connecting to kodi

*2016-03-25*

I just paid $2.99 and I can't watch anything on my iPhone 6s? What's the deal?

**Developer response:** As the app description says it's a remote control for Kodi. It needs Kodi to function properly.

### 3/5 — Half way there

*2016-01-01*

Still need need improvement like a clear background in TV just like Live TV not white background on logos. 

The side menus item cannot move only hide.

Nice!

### 1/5 — Doesn't discover

*2015-12-15*

Using this app is like dating a bimbo. Great to look at but nothing upstairs. This is the first Kodi remote app I've used where I have to MANUALLY add my Kodi box instead of it being discovered. The screen interface is beautiful but the developer dropped the ball on the most critical interface... the network.  No way would I pay for a Pro version after this! You blew it, kid... ONE STAR!

**Developer response:** Zeroconf support has been added. If configured it should pick up your Kodi machine.

### 4/5 — Does more than any other Kodi remote app out there

*2015-09-12*

This is the first app I was able to find that not only lets you control your kodi setup but also allows you to manage things from within the remote like editing, deleting etc. very nice.
