Worked well enough id buy it

However it really sucks that I cant buy it , theres no way im paying yearly for any remote . Im using the free version but i would go pro otherwise . VLC IS THE BEST MEDIA PLAYER . Thanks team

Great App!!

This app is just what I’m looking for while using my laptop to play VLC movies to my TV. The free version works well but the pro version is so cheap I’ll probably pay for the sub.

Constantly losing the connection

I got very excited about this after buying my first ever external display and struggling with media control without holding my MacBook. But immediately it became clear the connection was not working as often as it was. Unreliable and therefore pretty useless, akin to an old TV remote where you had to rub the batteries in your hands to get it to work because your dad was too cheap to replace them.

Why

This is just stupid. I just use the actual VLC app from video lan for free. Not a trial or demo the full VLC player app for free to use on my phone and across other devices. It's available for windowsOS for free as well. It's a great open source player and played all if not most formats. You can use it for multiple things too. Like ripping DVDs/blu-ray, burning DVDs/blu-ray. I'm even able to use it as a video capture device from VHS to digital on my PC. I just don't see the advantage of paying $20 for this when you get use the real VideoLan player for free from the actual developer.

Absolutely Rubbish design!

Useless design and functionality, awful customer service; the sort of “take it or leave it”
