Great

Great to be able to play music without having to turn the TV on, but how do you save a playlist using just the app?

Great job guys

Really enjoying using Kodi and the remote app for media organisation and playback.

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.
