VLC Customer Insights

1. I do wish that there were more video controls available without going to the main screen for that video and that one could see the progress of the video (much like Spotify does with music on their app), again, without going to the video main screen.Excellent, BUT!!! An excellent app, but it drains the battery so fast.

2. Banner ads at the bottom of the interface are non-intrusive and tolerable, but the latest version now triggers video ads on my phone whenever the pause button is pressed.

3. I've tried what feels like dozens of these types of apps for remote computer control, this one blows the others out of the water.

4. Two finger click is hit or miss, but the simple task of point and click works great.

5. I changed the port, and now VLC launches on its own, but the app still does not recognize it is running.This is an easy to use use app and has been trouble free.

6. I changed the settings so it does not stay running in the background, but it didn't fix the issue.

7. I find myself having to closeout and restart the app often when I return to the app and want to browse my files to pick a different movie.

8. I bought the app BTW.Very Useful minus some glitches here and there, but overall much better user interface and usefulness of features than similar apps.

9. Minus one star for this, otherwise a great app.Took some time to get it working, and there were issues with the purchases.

10. If I'm hitting pause it usually means I need silence for a moment, not a virtual shopping trip! Bad decision guys.

11. I can either use it to control a preset playlist or to remotely browse and play files from my PC or external drive.
