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
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.
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.

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.

Useless design and functionality, awful customer service; the sort of “take it or leave it”
La aplicación es muy completa y útil para controlar remotamente un Mac. La pena es que el precio de la versión pro es completamente disparatado.
Не видит запущенный VLC на пк. Удалил.
bad interface, buggy in app browser, requires software download on computer. definitely insecure
People are stupid, this app 100 percent works. Read the friggin instructions before writing a review
It’s a really Helpful App. Now I don’t have to get up from the Sofa to control VLC
Definitivamente, não tem nenhum vinculo natural com a gratuidade do VLC. Não acessa a videos, a não ser que você compre a versão paga. PROPAGANDA ENGANOSA.
This is really helpful. The only thing that I think would improve it is the ability to play/pause from the lock screen. Is this something that is possible?
This app works extremely well for what it is meant to do. The only thing I have against it is that it seems the UI has not been updated since 2007 when the first iPhone came out. Aside from that, it’s great!
VLC je multimediální přehráváč, velmi schopný a výkoný-je to tzv. Open source projekt, to znamená, že je opravdu multifunkční, původně pochází z platformy Windows!Asi není vhodný pro ty málo znalé…jinak platí začátek-legenda!👌

Really easy to set up and free as well, co complaints here, big thanks to the devs
Sub fee, would have bought it maybe paid but not being black mailed into yearly subscriptions. No thanks.
When it disconnects I have to restart my computer. If computer display turns off after idle time and when resuming video, the audio gets choppy and have to restart VLC player. Regretting I’ve subscribed for this
Hi devs. Great app thank you so much. However, when opening the app it pauses the file playing on the laptop. Which is problematic for me when I’m running a non theatrical cinema! Would be great if this bug could be fixed. I’m running it on an MacBook Pro 2017 and and iPhone SE latest
So luxurious now to connect laptop to tv and control films from the sofa - also when inadvertently not stopped subtitles can do it not moving from sitting position. Easy to install and use.
