Remote Customer Insights

1. I wish play queues would transfer from Kodi to the app, but it is mentioned available when unlockedthis app does right what it has to do right: smart navigation (from viewing an album to all music by album artist for example), proper playlist navigation and a fine homescreen (last played albums, most played albums, random suggestions).

2. Everytime I unlock it just locks it again which means I can't stop the video or the app to get back into my phone (until the video stops on its own at which point I uninstalled it)Fantastic app! Using this with a headless Rpi for casting from my 40tb media server to multiple Chromecast audio devices throughout my house.

3. is it possible to see thumbnail images of videos in kodi library in mobile appp? (currently it doesn't show any thumbnails)Application is promising but has too many issues and I can't find the proper thread on Kodin Forum.

4. The reason I tried this one was that the app description noted the ability to cast local media to Kodi, and didn't describe this as a paid feature ... drum roll, it is a paid feature.

5. Probably a perfectly fine remote otherwise, but nothing draws me to this one over Yatse or Kore.Avoid this Virus, when a video is playing it locks the phone so the phone can't be used.

6. The now playing screen looks great and I love how the queued songs open with the click of a button!This is exactly what I was looking for.. I am thinking of upgrading to the paid version.

7. The app was populated flawlessly with a library of over 2k videos and 6000 songs, even the artwork and settings to change individual view modes in each category menu.

8. Cover art for albums in my collection that I access via Kodi mysteriously wont load, all of them popular well known albums.

9. Use one of the other many Kodi remote control apps that can manage this better.I've tried other remotes and they all pretty much do the job.

10. Impressive! As a longtime Kore user, I was skeptical this app would do anything more than Kore and most likely bloat a functioning tool down with flash and nonsense behind a paywall.

11. Although I still use Kore as remote.Not great.
