## VLC Remote Description
VLC Remote®  lets you remotely control your VLC Media Player on your Mac or PC. For iPhone iPad!
Awarded Gizmodo&#039;s “Essential iPhone App” three years running. Awarded T3&#039;s “Best iPhone Apps”.


The free version is identical to the paid version except for two things:

1) The free version shows adverts.
2) The free version won&#039;t let you browse to open files from the remote. You&#039;ll have to get up of your sofa and do that manually until you upgrade!


“The new VLC Remote app is simply stunning! It works a treat and it feels professional and powerful. Love it.”
- Adam, London

“The update for the iPhone version is *amazing* - it looks so polished - not that I had any complaints before.”

Not bad but everyone reading this, you don&#039;t have to buy this, the lastest version of vlc on all platform&#039;s let&#039;s you do 100% what the free and paid version do, within a Web browser, there&#039;s video tutorials on YouTube.
