A phone app to control certain aspects of live split that are less used, such as changing comparison or timing method would be useful, but it dosnt support that. How ever it does allow for undo and skip, which is a little handy. Wish you could customize the layout a bit more or have it show your actual splits with your background image and everything. It works, but not as feature rich as I would want it

Thanks for the feedback! Custom layouts were planned, but I currently don't find the time to update this app on my own. Background image and displaying all splits could be difficult, as the Livesplit server currently does not support the requests for it.

Fantastic app and super responsive, if you can get it to work. I downloaded this app in order to speedrun some games on a virtual machine, where global hotkeys do not function. This app provides precisely to that purpose, allowing me to still run livesplit from my base PC, while still keeping the VM Game in focus. Some extra inbuilt troubleshooting would be super helpful for this kind of application (if you are struggling, spend about 10 minutes learning about port forwarding and you should be good!) I would also love to see an option that would allow you to switch between comparisons, though not required, would be a nice addition. Overall, great solution if you are looking to speedrun a game where the global hotkeys are disabled.

Thank you for the nice review. I currently don't have time to update the app anymore, so new features are for the unforseen future. I found out for some computers, phones and network configurations the most basic socket.connect() method fails and I just can't find out why, even with forwarding. That's why some people here complain, understandibly.

I downloaded and extracted the livesplit server component and put it in the right file, but nothing shows up when I edit layout and look for it. Idk what to do from there. I could just be stupid and have missed something

This has nothing to do with this app. Are you using the same LiveSplit installation where you put the server component to? Did you extract the files correctly? There should be a file like LiveSplit/Components/LiveSplit.Server.dll in the folder. Maybe the newer versions have a mixup, you can check the Discord here: https://discord.gg/WVDSQHCm
