VLC Remote Customer Insights

1. This app REALLY works, and is worth the $$I have been looking for a quick and easy way to play radio streams from my mac mini through my hi-fi amp without the hassle of having the tv on, and using a wireless keyboard/mouse as a controller.

2. There is an option I don't get: transparent or black widget, but the app does not come with a widget (on Nexus 7 and Galaxy S6 it is not in the widgets list) and I don't see any difference when I change the option.This is the best VLC remote I have found.

3. I was looking for an app to control VLC on my media PC and that's exactly what this does, and it does it better than I ever could have imagined! Being able to browse my media from my phone is a really great feature.

4. It's great for streaming VLC to your YouTube or Google TV; just set "Renderer" in VLC to the device you want to cast to, and you can play any compatible file (which is virtually anything) to that device while never leaving your seat.

5. Worth every penny and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.Great app wether you have the free version or paid.

6. Maybe its android 13? I do love the app thouWorked well for a year or longer, now app just crashes every time I click on my device in menu.After some slight difficulties installing, this app did exactly what it says it will do, and more than you might expect.

7. Thanks for the app and bye-bye to my fm tuner! :)I love this remote for VLC, easy to set up and very complete.

8. The free version is good but the paid version is well worth the cost if you use it as much as I do.

9. I give it 10 stars but Google will only let me give 5.Awesome application! The only thing that's bugging me at the moment is that I'm unable to get rid of the quick controls in the notification bar when I close the app.

10. Tried other programs to use as a remote but they didn't work well or at all.

11. The only way to remove it is by force stopping the app in the app settings of my phone.Love your app but unfortunately it don't work on my new phone.
