paid for enhanced version to be able to load subtitles. could not locate the feature after upgrading and customer support is non-existent. no response to emails. can't get a refund. waste of money. at least it wasn't too much. app is ok if you only want to pause, play, and add from queue.

Plain and simple. Does what its supposed to do without issues. The frequent updates are a plus too. Best of all, you don't have to install a separate program on your pc for this to work unlike the other VLC remote apps. **Been using this for a couple years now. Still the best out there! All the new added features are great. You do need to install something on your computer to use those, but no biggy.

Best VLC controller I've found. Free version user for a couple years now. Banner ads at the bottom of the interface are non-intrusive and tolerable, but the latest version now triggers video ads on my phone whenever the pause button is pressed. If I'm hitting pause it usually means I need silence for a moment, not a virtual shopping trip! Bad decision guys. Uninstalled after 5 minutes and reloaded the older version. Minus one star for this, otherwise a great app.

Hello, Apologies for the ads, we do not show impromptu ads anymore and the app is completely free with fewer ads for certain periods (10mins) every hour, hope you'll try the app again. Thanks
