### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2022-08-22, version 3.9.11*

This project has been abandoned by the developers.

### 1/5 — 애플티비 유료버전 절대 사지말길

*2022-06-15, version 3.9.11*

원래 nplayer 유료버전 잘 쓰고있었는데 애플티비는 nplayer가 없어서 인터넷 뒤져보니 이 어플 쓴다 그러길래 유료결재. 근데 나스에 접속이 잘되다가 안되다가 그럼. 인터페이스는 개구리고. 걍 이거 살바에는 Infuse 무료보전으로 깔고 쓰면 정신건강에 좋습니다. 정말 돈 아까운 앱. 개발자는 유료버전 이따구로 만들려면 걍 개발하지마시길.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-03-13, version 3.9.11*

Spent hours with it’s impenetrably confusing and unintuitive interface trying to add an SMB share that DOES exist (every other app I’ve tried see and can add no problem) with NO luck. Garbage. Should be removed from the App Store. Does not work. Can’t even get past step 1.

### 1/5 — 형편없네요

*2022-02-05, version 3.9.11*

안드로이드 tv에서 kodi 잘 사용하여 애플티비에 써보려고 구매했는데 이건 뭐 프로그램을 만들다 만거 같네요. 업데이트는 해주시나요?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-12-27, version 3.9.11*

And I’m also gutted to have spent £5.99 on the Apple TV app which is similarly garbage. Daylight robbery.

### 1/5 — Rude

*2021-03-15, version 3.9.7*

Wouldn’t connect so I went to their help page and got a rude smartarse reply. So glad I didn’t pay for the Apple TV version.

### 3/5 — Close but needs Improvement

*2020-04-29, version 3.8.1*

I downloaded the Lite version to try this app before buying. When it works, it works well.  Unfortunately, it seems to take several tries to start watching live TV from my MythTV backend. Either the guide data does not show, or the live TV shows channel unavailable. This occurs even when I verify the channel works by checking my Kodi front ends on my TV. Watching recordings and movies works very well. If the live Tv worked seamlessly, I would buy the full version immediately. 

There could also be some improvement in the overall user interface. Getting to the controls for stopping, starting, pausing, etc, the media is not intuitive and takes a few tries to pull up the controls. A simple tap on the screen should bring up the media controls.  It does not.

### 1/5 — Advertised Emby support, false

*2020-04-18, version 3.8.1*

Trash app, incredibly buggy and can’t connect to emby media server making the whole app useless. Do not download the free version and definitely don’t buy the paid version.

### 1/5 — Not working !

*2020-03-23, version 3.8.1*

Not working at all on XS ! 
What the point ?

### 1/5 — Touch not working

*2020-01-30, version 3.8.1*

Touch screen iPhone XS Max iOS 13.3.1 not responsive

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-01-02, version 3.8.1*

Just doesn’t work. Loads in landscape and you can’t select anything.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-12-21, version 3.8.1*

Opens but nothing works

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2019-12-16, version 3.8.1*

Touch screen controls do not work on iPhone XR.

### 1/5 — Waste of time even downloading it

*2019-11-18, version 3.8.1*

App opens in landscape format but not a single button on the menu responds to a tap. Have tried closing and reopening but it still doesn’t respond. Doesn’t encourage me to spend $10 on the full version.
Save yourself some time and look elsewhere

### 1/5 — No ip v4, ipv6

*2026-03-07, version 3.9.11*

Can’t connect to anything on my network

### 1/5 — (broken) Launches to a black screen

*2025-06-02, version 3.9.11*

This doesn't do anything anymore it seems. I launched it, it asked to detect devices on my network, which I allowed, and now it just goes to a black screen and does nothing else.

### 1/5 — Just Remove It

*2024-11-04, version 3.9.11*

If you haven’t updated your app for three years and it’s not working to begin with you might as well remove it from the App Store...

### 1/5 — Confusing and inoperative

*2024-07-16, version 3.9.11*

Had to search online to determine the difference between lite and touch (the former being a limited trial version to test before buying). Also learned that the interface differs significantly from the photos. However I never got that far as the app only loads to a black screen. So happy I was able to confirm it doesn’t work before spending any money, but if they want to actually provide a trial that’d help. But what do I know.

### 1/5 — It never worked for me

*2024-03-21, version 3.9.11*

Primarily I got it for to use with Jellyfin, at that time it’s slow and crash very often. There is no update since 2y. Now when I open all I get is blank screen.

### 1/5 — No support for issues

*2023-09-02, version 3.9.11*

Connects and disconnects shares at ramdom.  Tried emailing support TWICE and i never got a response.  When a share disconnects you get an instant network error.  The error doesn't go away for like a day.  Sometimes u keep getting a network error claiming your not on a network; even though you are.  Good idea, just not a good program, don't waste you money

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2023-01-04, version 3.9.11*

Open the app and it does nothing, black screen.

### 1/5 — Broken App, Beware!

*2022-12-06, version 3.9.11*

Simply put, does not load. I get a blank screen. Glad I didn’t buy the full app.

### 1/5 — doesn’t work anymore

*2022-10-26, version 3.9.11*

This app hasn’t been updated in a while and doesn’t work on iOS 16. It asks for network permissions and then it’s just an empty black screen, no way to configure anything. Sad.

### 1/5 — MrMC is dead and should be removed!

*2022-09-13, version 3.9.11*

The app (all versions, paid for) for IOS and tvOS has been abandoned and is buggy with no support. Apple needs to stop selling dead apps!

### 5/5 — No good

*2022-12-15, version 3.9.11*

Once installed jumps to landscape mode and you can’t get out of it unless uninstalled. Shame works fine on Amazon Fire TV.

### 5/5 — Works fine with Jellyfin

*2021-04-01, version 3.9.7*

Limited to the first 8 videos of my film library, but they all played fine in this demo version on my iPad. Bought tvOS version, works great there too.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2020-06-26, version 3.9.7*

No idea what the reviews saying this doesn’t work are on about. Works great with my kodi media server.

### 5/5 — Plays DVD ISOs with full menu support

*2020-03-07, version 3.8.1*

I have some DVDs that I converted to ISO to play on iPad. After a lot of failed attempts with other apps MrMC played these with full menu support (very important as these were more organized by menu than chapter) my only negative is this is not the easiest app to figure out, it does take some work to understand its process flow, but once I did that extremely happy!

### 5/5 — Basically Kodi for tvOS

*2019-06-12, version 3.8.1*

There have been many updates since many of the negative reviews. Many bugs have been squashed and many new features have been introduced. This app is basically Kodi for tvOS. There are a plethora of options to customize your experience and this is one of the few apps for tvOS that supports 7.1 atmos audio. There is also no subscription, so you get the full deal for only a few dollars. Compared to the Nvidia shield, this app makes tvOS much better.

### 5/5 — Great media app

*2018-09-17, version 3.6.2*

I love this app great to use once you have set up I also use this app on my Apple TV and it is awesome A+++++++

### 5/5 — Minimal Emby Support

*2018-03-21, version 3.5.0*

I would like to see transcoding options for emby. This would be useful for remote low bandwidth situations and handing hi10p and hevc encodes without murdering battery and performance. 

Music player is slightly buggy and ideally I’d like to see background playback.

5 stars because the app is as advertised and giving low reviews for a feature request is scummy.

### 4/5 — Please fix the Trakt scrobbling on the Apple TV app

*2021-10-30*

Please fix the Trakt scrobbling on the Apple TV app

### 4/5 — I want to love this buggy app

*2018-03-30, version 3.6.0*

I love the vision of MrMC.  Solid dev team that’s been formed, and the constant updates are great.  

That said this is buggy.  It’s a bit clunky to use on a iPhone touchscreen (iPhone X). Take the new Plex for Kodi add on… Love it that it’s now available, but user interface challenges make it really hard to enjoy. I’m not sure that you can even exit the add-on and get back to MrMC.

Anyway - it’s a good start but hard to switch from native plex to this just yet.  

Again - I have high hopes as updates keep coming.

### 3/5 — Nice idea but

*2024-03-03, version 3.9.11*

As someone who relies on VoiceOver to use apps. I was surprised to find that this app does not work with VoiceOver.. oh well.
