Thank you. ### 3/5 — Power button. *2021-11-05, version 2.2* It needs an off switch or to be precise a power button to turn off Kodi and shut down the pc at the same time. For now it gets a 3* rating. ### 4/5 — Sir.Boyle *2021-01-25, version 1.3.1* Sir.Boyle ### 4/5 — Works *2020-12-25, version 1.3.1* Wish you could use keyboard to type when searching. ### 3/5 — No consigo conectarlo ayuda *2020-10-17, version 1.3.1* Donde puedo pedir ayuda ### 5/5 — 192.168.1.4 *2020-09-06, version 1.3.1* secrity ### 4/5 — 9090 *2020-09-06, version 1.3.1* Ya ### 4/5 — ?

Plutôt que d’utiliser une manette filaire voir Bluetooth ou encore un clavier, cette appli permet simplement de contrôler l’interphase. Pour ceux qui disent que ça ne fonctionne pas. Assurerez vous d'être connecté sur le même réseau (Kodi et votre iPhone ou iPad). Activez la fonction nécessaire dans Kodi, suivez le tuto dans "help" Perso j’ai acheter l’appli pour virer les pubs ### 5/5 — Seek slider *2021-03-05, version 2.2* For the most part I really like the app except I can’t seek in a movie or TV show at all. Neither the slider or the gestures are working. The movie just keeps playing. Also as was already mentioned...a keyboard would be nice. Device is a 5th gen iPad running iOS 14.4 and Kodi is the latest 19 on a PC running the latest Windows 10. I have 1280 movies and 26 TV shows. The gestures work in the menus but the gestures and the slider do nothing while playing a movie. Another update....I just installed the app on my iPhone too and it does the same thing. Is there some setting I’m missing on my system? Kodi, Windows, virus protection? Like I said...the gestures work in the menus fine. Another update. I tried it after disabling my virus protection. Still no working seek slider or gestures in a video. Update: Slider and gestures fixed and works great! Great response! Thank you! ### 5/5 — What?!?!? *2021-02-18, version 2.1* What did you guys do? This thing was perfect. With the new update, now when the phone locks and unlock the app does not respond. You have to go back to the device window and choose it from the device list again. It’s annoying cause everybody’s phone auto locks. You end up doing this over and over... And the volume is hidden in a menu now, more steps to do a frequent action. Update: You sir, are awesome! Maybe in the future you would consider adding a home button, maybe :) As it is now, this is the best Kodi remote app hands down. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — . *2021-01-18, version 1.3.1* . ### 5/5 — Echt Gute App *2020-12-25, version 1.3.1* Kodi Remote ist eine echt gute App funktioniert einwandfrei ### 5/5 — kurdish *2020-12-24, version 1.3.1* kurdish ### 5/5 — Positivo *2020-11-09, version 1.3.1* Non capisco le recensioni negative Fa il suo dovere ### 5/5 — Kodi *2020-11-07, version 1.3.1* Muy buena opción para ver lo que tu quieras😊 ### 5/5 — Kodi remote *2020-09-11, version 1.3.1* Far better than having to get up --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
