Developer breaks a basic function (volume up/down). I send support email, no response. Write a negative review, I get dogged and told to use the "standard reporting channels." Screw you. You may be "the official" remote app, but there are five others like your app and some are even better. Honestly, you all are a joke. You break the volume controls, then expect us to be silent? I'd fire that person, except they are probably working for free and can't do any better.

Used to work

Now it won’t connect. 3rd part apps work, but not this one.

My favorite Kodi Controller

This has been my favorite Kodi remote since I started using XBMC. So glad to see it hasn’t been abandoned! Thank you for your hard work dev!

I’m looking for a player, not a useless “remote”

Please create and release an official main app on the apple App Store. If you have an iPad app on your website upload a version to the App Store and charge nothing for it

Right click

I love the app. I would appreciate the option to “right click” for more options. If there is a way to “right click” already, would someone please show me how. Thanks Brent.

A great app for a great project

Kodi is an absolutely amazing media center pc program and this remote app can display your entire library. Thank you for the hard work devs!

Stopped working on iPhone

Have 2 iPhones and after an update to version 1.15 the Kodi app stopped connecting. Upgraded Kodi to 21.1 Omega, same issue. The wake on lan is the only part that works. I can connect using Microsoft edge on a laptop and all functions work however on apple iPhone devices I can no longer connect

Needs ui colors per server connection

Great app, I use it all the time. It would be nice to easily distinguish between which server is connected. My wife is always changing my server accidentally, and I have to yell at her “Wrong remote!!” It’s hard to tell if you are connected to Living Room or Bedroom etc.
