Ratings and reviews

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.

Was working great when i first installed it, but now it connects but wont let me control anything. The media file is flashing between the name and "now playing" constantly and anytime i hit play or try to track through, it attempts to connect but never actually does. Cant find any work arounds for this and its the only way I have to listen to tracks for a specific purpose, so now im out of luck.

This was a great app when I could use it to power off my computer and control other apps. Now it only works when vlc is open. I've tried reinstalling out on my pc and mobile app and it's still trekking me it can't connect. Fix the app! It was great. Now it's horrible. windows 11. Android 14 . it worked fine but they're not updating things the partner app doesn't work
