This is not a VLC product...since they used VLC’s logo I thought it was. I wanted to be able to control my laptop remotely for a performance. I paid 5 dollars for this app. It sort of works, but not reliably. Doesn’t recognize my laptop sometimes. I press PLAY and nothing happens, then maybe 9 seconds later the file starts playing, and stops, and starts. Ugh, so annoying. Show more

It does everything I want out of VLC. Volume, seek, subtitles, audio track, and much more. It's convenient being able to search folders for things to watch as well.

Interface on main screen is awful Should have play pause ff rew

Hands down best video player I've used

Love this app. Works seamlessly every time.

Great app

Love the fact I can lay in bed an stop-pause-play!

I have been through all of the troubleshooting steps and it doesn’t work. I checked my firewall, and manually added my computer to the app, but it still can’t find my computer. The online troubleshooting guide suggests using Setup Helper, but it took me a while to figure out that there is no setup helper for Linux. It’d be nice if they’d let you know that. However, the manual setup in VLC preferences was simple. It just won’t work. I guess that’s $5 down the drain. Show more

Works very well, a lot of nice features.

The best VLC Remote.

I would love it even more if the playback speed offered more options between 1.10 and 1.25, e.g. 1.15 and 1.20x. Sometimes the Walking Dead is just too slow... My husband and I watch VLC from a PC on our TV. I never have to use the mouse to enable subtitles or rewind. Show more

I use it in my theater room in place of a remote. Have had the app for more than a year, works flawlessly!

This app does everything it says. I love it I can control my laptop sitting across the room search my laptop hard drive start a new movie without ever getting it. I highly recommend this app. Free version OK but I recommend buying the full app. Show more

So easy to use... i'll update review as I go along.

I paid for the full version. No ads, works like a charm.

Love it!

Exactly what I was looking for. Let's me play and control dvds using vlc.

I've used other remote apps for other programs but this is by far the most well thought out remote app I have come across. It's always possible to think of some other feature that you might want an app to have but most every feature one can imagine has been included. Three of my favorites are that VLC is automatically paused when a phone call comes in, this one works every time for me. I like the ability to search connected drives for content and the ability to select subtitles from the app. I don't buy many apps but this one has been money well spent. I use it regularly. I prefer paying to not seeing the ads and it is a whale a Knouff executed app that I thought it was worth the price. I don't recall why, but about a year ago I had occasion to contact the developer and he was very responsive and helpful. If you use iTunes on your Mac and use the Remote app that Apple provides you are familiar with a poorly executed remote app. If you have content that you can play in VLC, rather than jumping through hoops figure out how to convince iTunes to play it, use VLC and this remote app and you'll be much happier, your blood pressure will be lower, you'll grow 2 inches taller, your hair will become thick and lustrous, you'll reach your ideal weight and win the lottery without even entering!

This app allows me to control my Mac OS VLC application without mouse or keyboard. It also has most essential features of the desktop application available for use on my iOS device. There are times, however, when the app "refuses" to see my computer, and it can take 10 minutes of fiddling before control of the VLC software on my computer is restored, which is annoying. Update: July 9, 2017: The "computer-sensing" problem indicated above appears gone, and I revise my rating to 5 stars. Show more

Great app. Been using it for years. Only wish you could have the ability for more than one phone to sync to the player. That way both my gf and I could both pause it etc from our phones. Show more
