### 4/5 — Great app with one Glaring Bug.

*2021-03-26, version 2.0.1*

This app is well laid out, wonderfully configurable and works with the newest version of Kodi.  The author did a fantastic job.  That being said, I use this app on my iPad to control Kodi on my nVidia Shield TV.  The exit button doesn’t work.  You press it, nothing happens and the app continues to run.  Other Kodi remote apps happily cause Kodi to shut down, returning me to the Shield home screen.  Please fix this annoying bug so that I can give this app a well-deserved 5 stars.

### 1/5 — What a waste

*2020-09-07, version 2.0.1*

I want a refund and I want it now, this remote is horrible no instructions on how to use it I can’t figure out what button or buttons do you press to select an item, like select or play and if there is such a button, mines don’t work  I tried to support the developer by purchasing the upgrade and really it was a down grade. I want A REFUND FOR THIS HOT MESS!!!!!!!... not worthy of any stars it’s a negative

### 1/5 — Back and ok button don’t work?!

*2020-08-22, version 2.0.1*

Great potential for an app, and it looks great, however the OK and back button don’t work thus making it about as good as useless.
Need a second app just to navigate.

### 4/5 — I give 5 stars but no updates in a long while

*2020-02-03, version 2.0.1*

Very good app.  It’s a shame it’s not being currently worked on.

### 2/5 — Nothing special; no XR screen size support

*2019-08-19, version 2.0.1*

It’s OK. Would be much better if it supported larger screens like the XR. All these Kodi remotes seem more or less alike.

### 4/5 — Great, but....

*2019-06-07, version 2.0.1*

Very good remote for browsing library and YouTube but the actual player remote control is basic and the time bar across the bottom is always stuck at the end of the video time to it’s hard to scroll through to the right point in a video. Also not all my YouTube playlists appear in the playlist menu. Like the customisation of the home screen and shortcuts to YouTube channels.

### 5/5 — World class

*2019-03-10, version 2.0.1*

This app hasn’t really been updated and honestly I don’t see any real benefit from buying the premium version, but I did anyway because I had to support a dev that makes quality like this (especially for free!). Truly, while it could use some updates, this app blows every other app out of the water, hands down - no doubt. It can literally peer into Adonis right on screen with fan art and all, some of you will understand how powerful that is. It’s basically a mini kodi right there on your iPad that does everything but play the content. This is a rockstar developer, support them and buy the premium (even though it does nothing lol).

### 5/5 — Cast to Youtube

*2019-02-12, version 2.0.1*

Having the app automatically have a popup to play a link from youtube make this app great, if there was a embedded option to select it this app from share menu from youtube then it would be perfect.

### 4/5 — Needs update

*2018-11-11, version 2.0.1*

App needs update to new phone design at least.

### 1/5 — Sort

*2017-12-26, version 2.0.1*

1 Star until they add the ability to include THE when sorting...

Aka when a movie starts with THE (like THE Breakfast Club, it should be under T’s, not B’s)

Just like Kodi.
