### 3/5 — Great except…..

*2023-08-24, version 1.0.41*

The user interface itself is great.  The only issue I have (and it is extremely annoying) is that I keep having to re-establish a connection between the app on my iPhone and the Zidoo.  This is hit and miss and only occurs when I boot up the Zidoo and then the app.  It doesn’t happen ever time but it is frequent.  It will never drop connection when using it.  Just when you’ve powered down the Zidoo and come back the next day to watch something and it doesn’t pair. You might get lucky and not have this happen for a couple of weeks but it’s a sure fire thing that it will happen.  Other than that, it’s a great app.

### 3/5 — Can’t start from the app

*2023-03-01, version 1.0.23*

I was able to start my Zidoo Z9X only once. Now I have to use the remote control to start up then use the app. If there is any tip would be appreciated.

### 3/5 — Добавьте возможность Повторного сопоставления через приложения

*2022-04-04*

Добавьте возможность Повторного сопоставления через приложения, в самой приставке не всегда удобно это делать

### 3/5 — No landscape mode for iPad

*2020-09-05, version 1.0.9*

Good app to control your zidoo but still no landscape mode when used with an iPad. :-(

### 1/5 — Непонятно

*2024-09-05*

Где брать кюр код который требует при установке приложения в телефоне ????

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-07-30*

While I like my zidoo Z9X player, this app must meant to be a joke. Connection via QR-Code does not work at all and while trying to input the IP address manually, I noticed that I cant, because the number keyboard, that is popping up, shows only commas except for points. Seriously? 
While connecting via the first QR-Code in the zidoo’s connection app leads to the player‘s web interface (which is not really a good option to control the zidoo remotely, either because it is laggy and some folks had the brillant idea to put dark text on a black background) the app refuses to connect and is not usable.

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2023-11-01, version 1.0.41*

Awful outdated app and the new 2023 Zidoo pro range is even worse.

### 1/5 — Won’t work on iPhone !!

*2021-06-05, version 1.0.12*

Won’t York on an iPhone … ffs

### 1/5 — Z10 pro

*2021-02-18*

Doesn’t work for my device. Just didn’t find device in my home network. Trying different ways, changed it - still not working.

### 2/5 — WOL doesn’t work

*2025-10-05, version 1.0.80*

WOL works by sending from router but app will not successfully start with WOL command.

### 2/5 — Zidoo 5000

*2024-11-16*

Из приложения не включается плеер, хотя кнопка включения есть. Через 5 минут работы зависает. Это приложение полностью портит представление о продукции Zidoo. Работайте над ошибками ребята! Доводите до ума приложение!

### 2/5 — Плеер удасный

*2024-07-01*

Ужасный плеер для музыкиНеудобно пользоваться ни с приставки ни тем более с приложения

### 2/5 — Пока не о чем

*2023-08-31*

Функционал на 0. Сделайте хотя бы элементарное ;
Удаление, перемещение файлов, изменение имени файла итд…

### 2/5 — Sortierung der Titel im Musicplayer immer noch falsch

*2021-06-24*

Sortierung der Titel im Musicplayer immer noch falsch. Also alphabetisch und nicht nach Tracknummer

### 5/5 — As Expected

*2022-08-16*

Zidoo ios remote controller is just perfect, give it a try to figure out the difference. It works flawlessly than physical remote.
Connects instantly with just one click.
A must have app if you own a Zidoo.
💯🛠

### 5/5 — Excellent Application for Remote usage

*2019-12-15*

Really wonderful GUI and very prompt action. What I press on my app instantly works on the player.

### 5/5 — Great app working on ios13 ,for Zidoo players

*2019-10-26*

Great app working on ios13 ,for Zidoo players,completely replaces remote,plus nice movies covers display

### 5/5 — Super!

*2019-09-30*

Funktioniert ganz gut

### 4/5 — Cast is broken

*2025-03-28, version 1.0.80*

Adding the cast feature is highly appreciated, but the actual movie is never visible and using it for menus is broken since there is no Options button!!! Please fix!

### 4/5 — Bug in copy-paste text: missing &

*2023-10-04*

Good app, but when using text input in filling URLS it has a problem with the character “&”. Probably a bug to fix. When I do “copy-paste” text from smartphone I have to fill the missing & manually with the remote. Thanks

### 4/5 — Great App, Needs Night Mode

*2023-04-21, version 1.0.23*

I really like the App, It needs a Night Mode.
If it has one I couldn’t find it, so when playing music in a dark room, the white background is too bright.

### 4/5 — Не выходят обновления для ios

*2019-12-29*

Для андройда постоянно выходят новые версии. А для ios не выходят.

### 4/5 — Guter Funtionsumfang

*2019-12-04*

Ich nutze diese App mit einem Zidoo Z10, funktioniert astrein, das einzige was noch fehlt wäre das man den Mauszeiger per Touchfeld bedienen kann. Dennoch Top umgesetzt, man kann alle Einstellungen vom Handy aus vornehmen 👍

### 4/5 — Great app

*2019-11-23, version 1.0.4*

Like this app quite allot but it could do with a couple of things sorting - when something is playing the play button covers the previous page button so you can’t go back if you want to browse your media. Also the iPad version is only in portrait mode would be nice to have it in landscape. Apart from them couple of things it’s great
