Ratings and reviews

Works amazingly well! Had one or two times where the app took a second to reconnect, but mostly it works seamlessly. There is no detectable lag in the controls. Was happy to pay $6 for no ads forever. Would like buttons to skip by 3 or 5 or maybe 10 seconds, especially in the controls notification. Tip: to show the controls even while your phone is locked, go to "Notifications on lock screen" under "Privacy" in your phone's settings, and make sure that silent notifications are hidden.

This is an easy to use use app and has been trouble free. I can either use it to control a preset playlist or to remotely browse and play files from my PC or external drive. I have few complaints about it. I do wish that there were more video controls available without going to the main screen for that video and that one could see the progress of the video (much like Spotify does with music on their app), again, without going to the video main screen.

Excellent, BUT!!! An excellent app, but it drains the battery so fast. My battery normally gives me around 4 hours of screen on time. This app killed my fully charged battery in 1 hour. I changed the settings so it does not stay running in the background, but it didn't fix the issue. If it was not for that I'd have given it 5 stars and bought the pro version.
