Description

The most powerful Android VLC Remote is also the easiest to set up!

VLC Remote lets you sit back enjoy your movies and music while you control things from your sofa.

Use our Free setup helper to configure VLC and connect your Android in a couple of button clicks.

'In a few clicks everything is ready and you just have to taste the pleasure of remote control' -Alekxou

✔ Helper configures VLC automatically.
✔ Control volume, position, track, play, pause
✔ Turn fullscreen on and off
✔ Beautiful interface
✔ Full DVD controls
✔ Control subtitles, aspect ratio, audio track and delays

• Limitations of free version •

Following user feedback, we're now much more generous with the free version. Every single feature now works in the free version with the exception of browsing for files (you can see a demo of that feature).
We hope that file browsing is useful enough that you'll pay for the full version. We get to make a living, you get to stay on the sofa when you pick a new file!

So this app is free, but if I want to actually use it I have to buy the set up software? And I'm supposed to trust you with my E-mail address? you want to earn trust honestly publish the manual set up instructions and let us decide for ourselves if we want to buy the convenience. But no, either I buy or you spam my E-mail? If only Jesus would show up with his promised hail of bullets and nuclear bombs to destroy everyone we wouldn't have this problem. Give me an honest product.

Very poor app

It works well. Love it.

If you use VLC media player to watch movies on your television, this program is absolutely awesome. You just put the app on your phone, and then download the companion to your computer, pair them and boom. Works great. I would give this app six stars if I could. Fantastic!

Didn't love the idea of downloading a file on my computer to make it work, but tried another app and it didn't work so gave this a try but still can't find my PC. Tomroubleshooting can't help either

эдик klein

It also works :) For some reason app asks you to install additional soft on you desktop. You can skip this step, and configure vlc by yourself

Really great app. But can't play all youtube videos . Is it vlc problem or something else

Works like a charm Bravo

Makes you install software on you computer to work.

David Martin April 9, 2017

I could not connect to vlc on my Raspberry pi. A competitor connected quickly

Luv it

Troy Middlemist October 18, 2016

Sweet app Works almost like it's advertised to. Was only able to see two out of the three systems on the network. Had to connect them all via IP address, as none would connect with the pairing codes. Other than that, it plays the movies perfectly..

Ueihttam Osserb September 15, 2016

Perfect Works perfectly (Kitkat + Fedora 24) and simple to set up thanks to the website

ty rant September 1, 2016

I wish it could find computers by name, so dhcp didn't stop it working.

Khai-Ho Te Nein November 19, 2016

Antivirus says the helper software is a trojan. Couldnt make it work

neil trelawney August 20, 2016

needs fine tuning does not work well since last 2 updates

Works great App works great. Sometimes the automatic setup doesn't work but set your comp IP statically and problem solved.

Pranay Choudhary July 22, 2016

Works flawlessly Tried several other VLC controllers. This is the most simple to configure and use. Thanks for this great free app.

Nkengfack Hycenth July 6, 2016

Erik Belonger May 13, 2016

What went wrong? Not sure if it's the app updates now, or the latest Ubuntu updates, but it won't find my computer. When manually added, it says something is running that isn't Vlc?!? Just about had it with this thing, but if there's a fix I still love it, when it's working.

Hi Erik - linux setup help is still there! http://hobbyistsoftware.com/VLCSetup-linux

Megan Winter February 13, 2016

Would be perfect 5 star if it would fix one major issue. UPDATE Feb 2016: On 2 different phones the app stopped recognizing VLC. It worked one minute and after a Windows 10 update vlc was no longer being noticed. I've checked/restarted everything and readded the computer. The app will recognize the computer but not the VLC. Other than this the app is great! Although it would be nice if the lock screen widget could skip forward/back the few seconds so you don't have to open the phone.

TheVaginamuffin February 5, 2016

Doesn't work anymore. Windows 10 updated today. Seems the update f$#ked up this app. Oh well. *update* App still not working. It finds my computer, but says vlc is not running, while I'm staring at vlc playing a movie. Run vlc setup, says it completed successfully and this app still says vlc is not running. Nothing I do changes anything. Read the "help", did as was suggested, including dl'ing bonjour. To no avail. Seems as though this app is toast. Avoid it.

Kakha Khmelidze March 21, 2016

Very good VLC remote controller app It is quite strange to see such a low overall rating for this application which works great, has good functionality, so not have intrgrated ads and only difference from Pro version is folder browsing functionality. This is a truly good and helpful application. Maybe it needs some design improvements but even now this software here is pretty comfortable and useful.

Stuart Galloway-Walker January 30, 2016

Crashes immediately on start Can't get it to run on phone for more than 3 seconds, let alone link to PC. (galaxy note 4 rooted, stock rom). Have un/reinstalled and rebooted phone.

Houston Pillay February 14, 2016

Works Great - Dated UI Functionality is all included and it works flawlessly. As developers, that's as we care about but there's no ignoring the UI element. I would buy this app if it had a modern UI

Muhammad Muneeb Sidi Ali March 7, 2016

I love it Very clean, and useful app with great user interface.... And all function.... They just miss the Bluetooth function which should be there as keeping wifi and back light on for hours... Keeps draning battery.... So I request the developers to include both wifi and Bluetooth connection modes in this app... Else it's the best VLC app in Google app world..... 👍

Lawrence Hults II March 26, 2016

Once you install the app on your phone and the setup app on your PC/Mac/Linux etc, it works quickly and intuitively

Paki January 15, 2016

Not working I use setup helper. Windows 10 x64.

Tomáš Kratochvíl December 23, 2015

Great BUT Overal a really great app, but before the update there was the scrolling thing. I seriously need it back. That was the most amazing thing on it. The visuals are amazing. Amazing app and visuals after the update except that one thing.

Quadrplax fakename January 7, 2016

Does not properly configure VLC. When I go to my localhost it works but it says access violation when I go to my local IP and the app doesn't work. Firewall is fine.

Dave Losket December 17, 2015

Control dials I used the dial type controls more than any other feature of this and as such it's become much less useful and convenient ever since the latest build.

susai Nathan January 12, 2016

Best work But this apps error for some issues in trouble shooting other works its really great option for vlcc

Mo Lashkar December 22, 2015

Don't work Even after completed serverside setup. Crashed once out of 3 invokes.

Koen Pauwels November 28, 2015

Thanks! But may I ask? I love this app and find it very useful! However it would be nice to see the artist of the song being played next to the song title. (I have a playlist of +50 CDs on random play so manually scrolling to the current song is not practical).

Hobbyist Software Ltd November 28, 2015

glad you like it - thanks for the feedback.

J Bryden November 24, 2014

Works for me but you gotta be intelligent to figure out. Auto pair function doesn't work for me. Went into my laptop, open network settings, get ip address & on my phone use "enter manual" & input ip address, save it with any name. It works fine & I'm controlling my laptop that's hooked up to my big tv with my Galaxy S5 & watching UFC. It's great to use while in bed. The auto pair is adding in extra numbers. When I edited the auto result the ip address was almost the same number. This is easily fixable guys. Fix it so you stop getting bad reviews for a great app!
