Description

VLC Remote® lets you remotely control your VLC Media Player on your Mac or PC. For iPhone iPad!
Awarded Gizmodo's “Essential iPhone App” three years running. Awarded T3'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't let you browse to open files from the remote. You'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.”

Great functionality

cooldudeinthehause on

United States

This app works extremely well for what it is meant to do. The only thing I have against it is that it seems the UI has not been updated since 2007 when the first iPhone came out. Aside from that, it’s great!

Sub fee

Ruiner6669 on

United States

Sub fee, would have bought it maybe paid but not being black mailed into yearly subscriptions. No thanks.

Great app. One small flaw

ManifoldSky on

United States

As the title says, app is great. Full featured and powerful. The one function that they appear to have overlooked and failed to address (and that comes in necessary quite frequently) is the lack of an ability to respond to dialogue boxes on the local machine. They can pop up over the video, requiring physical presence at the keyboard/mouse/trackpad in order to respond, negating the point of the app.

Not worth it

Mom Saget on

United States

I paid the 4.99 and it wasn’t worth it, the app has to be restarted after a couple min cause it loses connection and won’t even find my pc until I close and restart, needless to say I definitely won’t be renewing my subscription, had a lot of hope for this app too pretty disappointing.

I bought this app for full price, now I need to pay annually?

Mr Boourns on

United States

I bought the full version of this app back in 2010. Now that I return back to iOS, I find that my purchase is non-existent. I'm instead asked to download the free app and pay $5/year just to use the app I already bought an indefinite license to, over 12 years ago. F*** this immortal company. Gonna get another remote app instead, or use the dozens on Android. iOS really fell off. Shm.

Awesome!!!

Awesome!!!

Price

Доблоеб on

United States

The only app in the store that is worth every cent. But no more.

Convenient, easy to use

IdenticalGamer on

United States

Super convenient, I was able to watch whole movies using my phone as a remote. setup time was less than a minute

Actually works, with a few issues

BlllllRrrgghhgg on

United States

I’m impressed with how well this app works and how easy it is to get working, but I did find that I had to close the app on my iPad in order to prevent frequent pauses in playback. Once the video is playing and the app is closed, it works perfectly.
