VLC Streamer Customer Insights

1. And i bought and tried the paid version becauase what it USED to be was well worth it.Love the app been using it for years but i would like it to give a better time option for skipping times on andriod coz i know i coild skip 10-30 sec on apple but android lowest u can go is 3mins which is annoying other that love itWhat can i say? The app is amazing.

2. Edit: Now copying works but trying to do it onto a phone, when you try to press the (i) logo to select file options, you touch the side scrolling bar instead making it impossible to copy files.

3. Thanks for the app !An excellent application!! Very intuitive and accommodates you're streaming needs perfectly...Purchased, tells me I must install "helper", is an endless loop without a "helper" software availableGreat for what I need.

4. I tried to find a free solution to stream .mkv files from my PC to android phone before I knew about this, but none of them worked.

5. Would love to see a better way to fast forward (like tapping on the screen like what you can do in youtube videos) unless I dont know of an easier way to do small amounts easily.Worse than when it was free.

6. Copying a movie to the device fails at the same spot every time and it loses connection to the computer... Can't seem to get around the issue.

7. This app used to be amazing but ever since it went to a paid "updated" version it's been nothing but a headache.

8. it doesn't use my full screen, my phones touch controls are still on the bottom of the screen.

9. Worked really well on my old phones but I've been having some issues.

10. A quick 5 min setup on the pc end to start streaming movies to your phone.

11. Downloading to device freezes every 4 minutes of progress and wont complete.
