Got this app years, cannot even remember. And to this day it’s still best and most reliable app I ever paid for.
-- chuma mg, 2024-09-18

### ****- "Only one complaint"
This is an amazing app! I just for some reason can't seem to adjust the compressor via the app?!?!?
-- Batmanicals!, 2018-05-17

### ***** "Great App"
Really cool.
-- Menelisi, 2016-01-05

### ***** "Great app"
The times I don't think it's working, generally means there's an update needed, so don't get frustrated. Works brilliantly.
-- Yogapractice1234, 2015-12-15

Awesome app!
-- Nkutazo, 2015-12-05

### ***-- "Nice"
Made me lazy
-- Patrick Pitso II, 2015-03-14

### ****- "vlc remote rocks"
This really is n very cool all rounded app that really is fun yo use and has such cook features so u never have to get off the couch or out of bet to start watching the next movie or episode in a series!! Great job on this app guys really cool !
-- Good usable app, 2015-03-08

### ***** "Great functionality and good app support."
The app has great functionality and is very useful. Just requires frequent updates on iOS and Mac OSX to keep working like it should as I recently experienced.
Keep up with the great support for this app on mobile and desktop.
-- JG_Booysen, 2015-02-18

### ***** "Best App"
This is by far the most useful app I came across, really worth paying for!

### ***** "Powerful app"
Really awesome app, perfect connection every time on opening the app, never a delay!! File loading is great and very useful! Nice work team..
-- Stagetech SA, 2014-11-19

### ***** "Awesome App"
This app does exactly what it says on the tin and more! Love it! Using this app and my Mac Mini I can remotely control VLC from the comfort of my armchair to watch movies on my 32" tv or just listen to music. Works seamlessly with my iphone 4! Great app guys!!! Five star!
-- SpinMasterSA, 2013-02-12

### ***** "Mr"
I Love It, Great App!!! :)
-- Blackcrocs, 2012-10-05

### ***** "Great product "
Easy to install , works very well . Finally a way to use my mac as a media center.

Well done guys

All the best with this product
-- Lewinator123, 2010-02-12

### ***** "Mr"
I was very impressed with this application. I have a remote for my Mac but this application gives me far more control. I can browse through my hard-drive and any external drives adding movies to the playlist without being anywhere near my Mac - and the look and feel is just so much better than VLC itself.
-- RobP3, 2009-12-23

### ***** "Top app"
Great app works great and easy to install
-- RicVal, 2009-06-06

### ***** "Best Iphone App Ever"
This is the most useful app I've seen to date for the iphone (well at least for me). It has a to-the-point interface and is really easy to set up. Media watching will never be the same again! Thanks guys!
-- WundermonkeyZA, 2009-03-15
