Ok

The streaming can be unstable and at times it stops responding and has to be restarted. But overall I like it.

Functional, but exceptionally ugly

It looks like the app does most of what you want from a Kodi remote. But is so ugly and overwhelming, you’re better off with the unofficial remote instead. Well, for most use cases. I keep this one for some functionality you won’t find elsewhere. So, it’s not one star, but in the middle, solely because of that. If there’s a UX designer one day, I think this app could be 5-stars easily. Till then, honestly, hard to recommend to an average Joe.

Works like a charm

On FireTV Make sure you have HTTPS enabled

App crashes at launch.

Love the App and I use it daily for my local Movies and Music libraries on Kodi-Software.
I use an old iPhone as a remote control for my Kodi-PC. (iPhone 6 / iOS: 12.5.7)
Everything worked like a charm until I updated to the latest version.
Now the App won’t start and crashes immediately at launch. HELP!

I have four TVs, each with Kodi. I use this app for all of them!
