Awful
     
by Zorat · March 6, 2011

Slow, crashes, stretches images just bad. Doesn't appear to cache. For example, after loading music once, which takes minutes, if you leave and come back it takes just as long again. Do not buy. Collect3s app is MUCH better for the iPhone, but still not as good as the best, the iPad exclusive xbmc commander. I have bought 80% of the xbmc apps out there, and this is what I have found.

Should not have been released yet
     
by CortezTK · January 27, 2011

After downloading and setting up, I click on my music folder, wait about 5 minutes, and still loading data. Close app (because nothing works when it's loading data), open app again, this time I try a video, loading data 5 minutes. I found the app again in the store, it says coming soon, support for large libraries. Hello? How can you release something that doesn't work correctly? I gave 2 stars instead of one because I hope this gets resolved, I hate seeing potentially great apps fall on their face from hasty releases.

Look and works great!

Looks great for an initial release! Could use a small amount of tweaks, but it seems to control my XBMC system very well.

Better with Update
     
by Professor Cha0s · March 24, 2011

The long overdue update finally dropped and brings a ton of features. One star has been knocked off for not remembering my settings during the upgrade (I had to reenter everything manually). Also, I don't see anywhere to sort by sort title rather than name. Having all of my movies that start with "The" grouped together is a pita. I won't knock down any further unless the developer leaves these stagnant like he did before. If everything is fixed, then I'll update to 5 stars.

Overall best iPhone XBMC App

Interface is amazing, features are great but one huge problem is killing me ATM preventing 5 stars...I have 1500 movies+ and loading takes so long I end up having to quit each time

Great Initial Release
     
by ArchigosAJ · December 8, 2010

Setup: iPad (4.2.1), XBMC Dharma RC2 on Win7 Ult x64. I'm glad Neom stated that he'll be working on an iPad edition after the bugs are worked out of this version, but from my initial testing the last couple days it seems to work great. There's a few feature enhancements I could think of but as the title says, great initial release, I look forward to trying each new version (especially when it ports to the iPad's native resolution).

Crash Often, And Not Very Useful When It Works
     
by BenInCOSprings · February 21, 2011

Crashes a lot, and doesn't do its job well when it doesn't crash. It is SLOW to load, and doesn't allow sorting of long lists. I don't use it.

Slow
     
by Marzitan · February 8, 2011

Program is slow to respond and build the list of tv shows or movies. The free apps work much faster. The remote is unlabeled and almost unusable. My main reason for buying was because it looked like I could scrub thru a video in the now playing interface, but I was wrong, it is just a status bar. The one feature I do like is that it shows you the watched/unwatched status of your videos.
