• Limitations of Lite version •

Following user feedback, we're now much more generous with the free Lite version. Every single feature now works in the free version with the exception of browsing for files (you can see a demo of that feature).
We hope that file browsing is useful enough that you'll pay for the full version. We get to make a living, you get to stay on the sofa when you pick a new file!

Automatic setup didn't work at first (I have some really old equipment and very unreliable internet service) but after reading the community help and trying the manual setup a few times I can now use my phone as the perfect remote control. Great job!

App was pretty simple to get working but now after last update is is force closing every single time I select my pc. Hopefully, this changes and I can raise the rating back to 5 and not have to lower it to 1.

★★

Playlist is empty even when it clearly isn't on the pc.... Should have been more clear that it exists in the paid version

This app worked great, til it didn't work at all. I've tried everything I can think to connect it to my computer including running all updates and even reinstalling both VLC and the remote. I've tried pairing on multiple devices. I've tried manually pairing. Nothing. There is also NO way to talk to the makers of this app for help and support that I can find. I really do wish I could give this app 5 stars but right now it is flat out broken and totally unusable.
