### 4/5 — app update

*2020-05-18*

this is best app for playing  media
But need to update and add more applicable themes and add nire gesture for siri remote.

### 1/5 — False advertising DO NOT PAY FOR THIS APP

*2019-11-01*

Paid for this app because it was advertised as outputting Atmos which happened to be a big fat LIE. Please refund my money.

### 1/5 — The Database gets wiped upon updating

*2019-07-13*

Super annoying that I have to re add my sources every time the app gets updated. Please fix!!!!

### 2/5 — Currently not compatible with latest Kodi MySQL database version

*2019-07-05*

As a pure player, MrMC is actually pretty good.

As a frontend to a distributed Kodi/MySQL setup, which is the whole reason I looked for a Kodi derivative, it is currently unable to perform that task after I moved to the latest versions.

Staying outdated is not an option for me, but restoring compatibility doesn’t seem high on the developer’s priority at the moment.
Which means an otherwise great media player can’t do the one thing I need it to do - use my shared library.

### 1/5 — Quit deleting my database.

*2019-01-12*

Every time you update my database gets wiped. Super annoying. Fix this bug please
