[2013-08-01] A Google User: Great app. This app is amazing. Response is quick and it looks very "clean". The vlc helper downloaded, installed, and paired in under 2 minutes. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it dosnt see my devices after I pair but, all I had to do was set the it's manually and it works flawlessly. |
|
[2013-07-29] A Google User: Awesome Downloaded the free app first, but saw File Browsing not included. Bought the app and Im really impressed. User friendly, easy to understand after playing around for a while. Auto Config also a plus. Spent the whole weekend watching movies and using this app. Great! |
|
[2013-07-20] A Google User: amazing just amazing this app is just incredible. It works perfectly fine and flawlessly. The best 4 dollars I spent for a long time.The help files and descriptions are really helpful. Thanks guys. |
|
[2013-07-12] A Google User: Excellent App Excellent app, works perfectly, easy setup |
|
[2013-07-08] A Google User: Very easy to use, yet powerful Very well developed, including the Host PC setup file. nice features including file browsing. allows multi host setup as well. |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Crashes Would be 5 stars but vlc remote crashes when trying to view favorites folder in android 4.0 and higher saying "unfortunately, vlc remote has stopped," which is the only reason I upgraded to full in the first place, please fix. |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Needs Improvement Have used this forever on iOS, and recently gave up and got a Galaxy Note 2 and loving it! Having said that, please...for the love of god update the interface on android to match iOS!!! Other than this interface, the only problem I have is it will not remember my selection of whether I want to add to playlist or play now. Update the interface and there aren't enough stars I can give! |
|
[2013-06-24] A Google User: Nice app. Does what it says in the can |
|
[2013-06-22] A Google User: Could be improved It keeps dying on me when the internet connection is slower. Works normally half of the time. Also I would really appreciate if it allows me to bookmark my position in a movie so I can watch from where I left off. It would solve almost all issues I have with the app. |
|
[2013-06-11] A Google User: Excellent Because it just makes being lazy an artform.. excellent product. Never had it fail to do what I needed. |
|
[2013-06-06] A Google User: The Best vlc application one can buy I have this application on all my portable devices can't be home with out it love it thanks |
|
[2013-05-24] A Google User: Good Good |
|
[2013-05-24] A Google User: Always Have To Run Setup Would be an outstanding app if I didnt have to run VLC Setup every time. Says VLC isnt running on computer when it is. Once I open setup it works. |
|
[2013-05-21] A Google User: Great app, absolutely worth purchasing Purchased paid version after few hours of trying free version. I have my laptop hooked up to home stereo/receiver and VLC player's EQ makes world of difference in sound output quality. Now my phone is remote for playing music and browsing through files. Perfect. I just wish VLC devs would allow VLC to remember last custom-set EQ setting after closing, have to adjust it every time I start it up on pc. 5 stars for the VLC remote though. |
|
[2013-05-19] A Google User: Yes ilazy lol This thing rock! Edit: i have it auto start and minimize when my pc on. For those that need to autostart, you might want to google or check dev site for more info. |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: When it works, it works well However I'm a bit frustrated that I need to run the desktop setup every time I switch my laptop on. |
|
[2013-03-05] A Google User: Excellent app Great features, very responsive, setup wizard and troubleshooting support are easy and comprehensive. |
|
[2013-03-02] A Google User: God Send for Lazy People. Very Useful App This app is pretty much the ultimate app for lazy people as it allows you to pretty thoroughly control VLC using only your mobile device. The only downside to it is that you have to be connected to a wireless network in order to use it (both your device and the computer/ laptop need to be connected to the same network in order to use it) Once the connection is made, and you have an instance of VLC running on your computer/laptop then you can use the app to load a file, and then have full control of it. In short: This is the ultimate app for people who like to watch video/ listen to music on their laptop whilst not near it as it allows for simple, effective control. |
|
[2013-02-14] A Google User: Fantastic, just 2 things missing... It 's great software, I just want a widget for lock screen and bookmarks in order to restart a movie at a previously saved place... |
|
[2013-02-08] A Google User: Seriously great! I use this daily. I rarely have any software hiccups. It's nice to start music from the car when I get near my wifi. |
|
[2013-02-06] A Google User: Setup problems? Great app, nice interface! One thing: the auto setup did not work. Setting up manually worked, make sure you don't include http:// in the IP address, or you can see the computer but it says VLC isn't running! |
|
[2013-02-04] A Google User: Great! Works great but there is no widget....... |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Well worth it Setting it up couldn't be easier with the provided host config utility, and it does everything you'd hope. Terrific job. |
|
[2013-01-20] A Google User: Greatest thing That ever happened to me! |
|
[2013-01-20] A Google User: Well done Completely satisfied |
|
[2013-01-20] A Google User: It does everything you could want And a little more. |
|
[2013-01-20] A Google User: Very useful I control vlc from bed...pipes your music for me :) |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: I wish ..... I wish the documentation explained some of the icons and menu trees.. I can't seem to get this to work as well as the free Remote for VLC (Baldwin) version does. Looks like it has some good features, which is why I bought it - but it's pretty clunky. Also, VLC seems to interrupt & stream choppily when this app is running. That doesn't happen with the free version or when I remote from a browser. May be solvable - some sort of remote control/contention problem - can't figure it out & with the free version, i don't have to. |
|
[2013-01-01] A Google User: Works! OK, admittedly in my instance it did take a while to get it working. But narrowed it down to good old windows firewall ruining my fun. I have it working now, and instantly bought the full version. I can go into my files on my externals and pick what i want. So now I'm laying outside in the sun on the trampoline feeling very smug. |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Peterock87 Works flawlessy on my Asus TF300 and S3 |
|
[2012-12-26] A Google User: Better than sex. This app is awesome. My old useless notebook with no battery is now the "media player" I always wanted. Teamed up with vlc player and the remote, it plays everything perfectly. Even over my wifi. This is where my other purchased media players fall over. None of them (even wd live) can properly and flawlessly play media without some kind of issue requiring my attention. Vlc plays everything beautifully every time. And this remote accurately allows me to do all the things I want with Vlc. Trouble free. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Not connecting Worked great, have rmhd now and it does not work. Please fix |
|
[2012-12-14] A Google User: Great apps! It really helps. Thanks guys. Keep up the good work. |
|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: Vlc remote Awesome love it. |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: Disappointed The drive button isn't working in the paid version. I can't see my d: and z:(network drive). Although many useful functions exist in the simple vlc web interface. |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Works great on my MacBook Excellent app that works flawlessly on my Mac. |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: Good companion app for VLC! |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: Fantastic Remote I tried a bunch of other versions before breaking down and buying this one. It was completely worth it. It's a well functioning remote and the set up was clear and fairly easy. Plus, it allows you to search through your computer and connected hard drives to find media. |
|
[2012-11-16] A Google User: No frills UI, but it delivers… Great app. Lets me control music and video from anywhere in the house. The simplicity to connect with my Mac is unsurpassed. Used this app with my iPhone and now moved it to my Note. Had a widget glitch and after communicating with the developers, fixed the problem in little time. Just but one suggestion, a volume control integrated to widget. |
|
[2012-11-14] A Google User: Works! I've paid for this on iOS, now got it on Android. Tested so many alternatives but my time is worth more than 3$ i paid for this. By far the best! |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Works no problem had to upgrade from the free version to this cause the free version never displayed my video files. this one works everytime |
|
[2012-11-06] A Google User: Great App! Let's me queue up media remotely, and has an easy to use transport panel. |
|
[2012-11-03] A Google User: Can't find vlc Says it can't find vlc on my computer. Cant get refund too. Bullshit. |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Was..... Perfect For some reason it doesn't work now. I changed all my firewalls to allow vlc and vlc setup helper. I did everything perfectly and now it can't find my vlc in my computer. Please fix and I'll change my rating. |
|
[2012-10-29] A Google User: Unified remote is a better alternative I came across Unified remote yesterday and it packs more features, in a better designed interface and the free version has the same and more features than the paid version of this app. It is not the fault of this dev, but I feel ripped of. |
|
[2012-10-28] A Google User: Useful It works, therefore worth this few bucks |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: Excelente no / Excellent on Android 4 ICS. Excelente no Android 4 ICS. Prós: possui visualização por pastas; com uma pequena configuração para o VLC iniciar com o Windows, fica tudo automático; tem controle de volume e suporte a playlists; possui boa ajuda para instalação e configuração no PC e no celular; suporte a inúmeros formatos de áudio e vídeo. A melhorar: não identifica corretamente algumas pastas padrões do Windows 7 em português. A pasta "Minhas Músicas", por exemplo, aparece sempre em branco no celular. É preciso acessar "Music" para encontrar os arquivos. Testei vários programas e este foi o mais rápido e objetivo. Recomendo. Excellent on Android 4 ICS. The best remote control for PC media that I have tested. |
|
[2012-10-15] A Google User: Almost exactly what I need Simple, logical and does exactly what it should do. My only concern is performance when it comes to handle large playlists, in my case over 1000 songs. |
|
[2012-10-15] A Google User: Excellent program. Syncs with multiple computers and even browses network shares. |
|
[2012-09-29] A Google User: Wonderful App I love this app! It works beautifully. I've used it for over a year and never had issues. |
|
[2012-09-26] A Google User: Ohhhh yeah |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: Awesome Very good app! Force close problems have disappeared, runs smooth on CM 9.1 on Desire Z. |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Update broke it again Keeps saying I need to give android permissions. Setup helper doesn't fix. Settings crashes it. With as many problems as I have, I should get my money back. Quit breaking it! |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Finally perfect. Finally got this working on my computer, although, since the last time I tried this i've installed Ubuntu - which made a world of a difference. Never worked on windoze. Really nice UI, lots of features. Would definitely say it's worth the money. Update: installed windoze again, couldn't get it to connect after rebooting the computer. However, works flawlessly on Ubuntu. No idea why. When you can get it to work on windows the app is brilliant. As an Ubuntu user I would definitely recommend downloading! |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Top 5 favorite Apps right here! I've had an Android for years now, and this is the very first review I've ever left. This App is brilliant, by far the best vlc related app. Had a small issue with the widget, contacted dev team and they fixed it in 2 days. 6 stars if possible. |
|
[2012-09-07] A Google User: Won't stay connected Great app, if it would be fully functional. Every time I open VLC to play something I have to run the VLC helper. Developer attempted to help but was unsuccessful and messed up my computer. On Hobbyist forums many people are having this problem and the developer is telling them all "Just reinstall, there shouldn't be a problem" |
|
[2012-09-05] A Google User: Good A lot of problems with setup and fireesll, router config, but remote has all the functions. |
|
[2012-08-28] A Google User: Amazing App Love this app so much that I'm actually taking the time to leave a review! The only problem is for some reason it will lose connection to the computer, but I don't know if its the app or the computer and I don't believe the app can open vlc, you have to open it manually from your computer but once you got it set up on your computer your set. The ONLY thing I would love to have is a volume control on the widget |
|
[2012-08-26] A Google User: Its works! The only vlc remote I could find that just works. Easy to set up with the PC installer, no problems so far with my nexus 7. |
|
[2012-08-25] A Google User: Great app, but... Only reason it's not 5 stars is because of some bug that keeps the app icon in the notification bar even after the app has been closed, forcing me to restart my phone to remove it, which is really annoying. Also really lacking a remote start feature |
|
[2012-08-20] A Google User: Love it! Very handy app, it's a must have, especially if you use your pc as your main entertainment centre. One problem I found, nothing major but the widget always says "tap here to select target computer" and doesn't work unless you remove the widget and re-add it whist a video is playing. |
|
[2012-08-15] A Google User: Brilliant! Absolutely a+. I would like to see play, pause and skip (maybe volume) in the notification bar while doing other things but I'm not complaining :) good effort. Definitely 5 stars and worth the money. I feel like a boss putting on an episode of Pokemon while making a tea over the other side of the house |
|
[2012-08-12] A Google User: Flawless victory This just works, unlike the competition. |
|
[2012-08-04] A Google User: Perfect It works great, makes life so much easier. Cannot thank devs enough for supporting Mac as well as Windows. |
|
[2012-08-04] A Google User: Perfection Works beautifully. So easy to set up! This is going to be so useful for watching videos on my dual-screened TV without having to control everything from the computer 30 feet away. |
|
[2012-08-02] A Google User: Works with 4.1.1 now Came on to complain that I couldn't see text in Jelly Bean and there was an update that fixed it! 4/5 just because the interface could really use some touching up, but the app functions beautifully. |
|
[2012-07-31] A Google User: Works good, minor issues Works ok as a straight up remote, file browser won't display file and folder names however, I'm using the nexus 7 with jelly bean so not sure if it's just a compatibility issue or not. |
|
[2012-07-30] A Google User: Text invisible fixed! My folders and files had invisible text when browsing the remote system. I reflashed a different ROM,(this time ics) everything works great now! |
|
[2012-07-21] A Google User: It doesn't work on the Nexus 7 The file browser is broken. All directories are blank. It also lags and freezes a lot. |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Great app Only thing missing is a setup helper for linux, and some more widget options. Of course if you run linux, chances are that you can get this set up and working. As for the widget issue, I'd love to have an entire homescreen set up as a vlc remote widget, or at least a few larger options than the single size offered. Add the Widgets and I'll uprate to 5 stars. |
|
[2012-07-12] A Google User: Garbage... Everything is set up EXACTLY as directed, yet it only works about 0.09% of the time. Hasn't worked at all for over a month. |
|
[2012-07-06] A Google User: Best app I have Except since I updated vlc on my computer, the full screen button won't work, please fix! |
|
[2012-07-01] A Google User: Super Great Dev and great app |
|
[2012-07-01] A Google User: Amazing Works really really well and makes using vlc much easier! |
|
[2012-06-28] A Google User: Standby Would love it if my phone stayed semi awake while remote is on, like the power dvd remote, gives instant access without having to wake phone and reconnect to wifi, still give it 5 stars. Scrap that just found option to leave it switched on doh! :-) |
|
[2012-06-27] A Google User: Worth every penny! Best VLC remote by far! |
|
[2012-06-27] A Google User: Best app ever Best way to control VLC I've found. |
|
[2012-06-27] A Google User: Thank you! Thank you! For finally fixing the screen orientation bug!!! It's awesome now! |
|
[2012-06-26] A Google User: Really amazing product! This is such an easy product to use with the sync tool..... Just perfect. |
|
[2012-06-26] A Google User: Siimply incredible O_o holy balls, this new update just significantly improved my life. I just can't believe how awesome this app is. It lets you browse your library (update: AND youtube!) for expletives' sake! It's the best app buy i've found in recent memory. |
|
[2012-06-26] A Google User: Access to phone calls? How does accessing my phone numbers/calls make this app better? Great app never the less |
|
[2012-06-25] A Google User: Worth it Amazing app, thanks its just what I could ever wish for. Easily 5 stars. |
|
[2012-06-21] A Google User: Excellent Very easy installation and configuration...and works perfectly on my Galaxy Nexus! Highly recommended. |
|
[2012-06-17] A Google User: Crashes |
|
[2012-06-07] A Google User: Fantástico Nos primeiros minutos de uso da versão demo do programa, já me conquistou. Simplesmente perfeito. |
|
[2012-05-30] A Google User: Tricky to set up - but a good app! After a lot of struggling with the set-up I'm now fairly impressed with this app. It took me over 30 mins configuring things before I could link my Android and PC - and then 'keep' the connection - but it was worth the effort. I ended up having to do the advanced set-up, entering the IP address manually as it kept 'forgetting' the PC using the standard set-up. Also, I was originally running the latest VLC Portable version, but quickly realised that VLC Remote wouldn't work with it so I had to install the 'proper' version - VLC Remote gives you a download link for this. Once VLC Remote is running the interface feels rather confusing, and it takes a fair amount of trial and error before it feels comfortable, but it is worth the effort getting familiar with it. I keep all my videos on an external hard drive, and accessing this is easy once you've worked out the file tree - I've added the Video folder to the 'favourites' list for easy access. As some of my videos are 'split' within 'DVD style' folders I needed to set VLC Remote to play from 'folders' rather than 'files' - again, it's easy to select this option from the menu. In summary, it's a great app but tricky to configure. |
|
[2012-05-30] A Google User: Awesome Nyc sftwr |
|
[2012-05-23] A Google User: Very cool app! Setup helper worked a treat and this is an awesome app! |
|
[2012-05-20] A Google User: GUI sucks Couldn't make it work with Windows VLC without manual entry. Finds computer but then fails to connect. UI is atrocious. |
|
[2012-05-07] A Google User: Great Works great and installation was very easy with vlc setup helper!! |
|
[2012-05-03] A Google User: Genius Utter genius app. Picks up every single share, file etc. don't need to get up Works like a charm |
|
[2012-04-27] A Google User: Perfect.. well almost .. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add remote start VLC player. That will make this app totally complete!! I guess it ain't that easy a task since it is requested a lot and has been from early on. |
|
[2012-04-22] A Google User: ICS menu and recent apps problem Please implement the ICS menu please and this app is not showing up in recent apps. |
|
[2012-04-17] A Google User: Awesome. I can completely control my htpc viewing with this app. Love it. No more fumbling for a remote or mouse. |
|
[2012-04-15] A Google User: Very convenient. Great app for controlling VLC while not at PC. Scrolling through folders is a bit choppy but otherwise great app. |
|
[2012-04-10] A Google User: Very cool This is great for controlling my VLC player on my desktop. It comes with easy to use tools to connect your device to your desktop, and it can do everything from browsing files to play, add to play list, index control (!!!), volume control, subtitle settings, etc. It's perfect. |
|
[2012-04-08] A Google User: BEWARE This app typically works perfectly, if ur able to overlook the volume adjust delay crap. But the real problem I found lies with which version of VLC you have installed on your computer. Anything before 2.0.0 seems to run perfectly, but versions 2.0.0 and gives you the "NO SIGN OF VLC etc" error message, even after a successful pairing with the VLC Remote App. It's really weird, but I had to go back to version 1.1.9 of VLC on my computer, because that was the last version I had that worked perfectly. It might just be me, cuz my luck with anything techie related is terrible, but if you find yourself running into similar problems with the 2.0.0+ versions of VLC (on your computer), downgrade to 1.1.9 |
|
[2012-04-05] A Google User: Keeps quitting Bought this thing but now it keeps quitting. The vlc remote on my ipod works flawlessly. Cat believe i spent money on this. Might as well stayed with the free one. |
|
[2012-03-20] A Google User: Outstanding app! This app just knocked VLC out of the park compared to WMP!!! |
|
[2012-03-17] A Google User: Wouldn't Change a Thing If you're a super lazy nerd who loves VLC like I do, worth every penny. |
