Automatic setup didn't work at first (I have some really old equipment and very unreliable internet service) but after reading the community help and trying the manual setup a few times I can now use my phone as the perfect remote control. Great job!

Works really well - would be 6stars with minor UI improvements/refresh. Great app!

Amazing or maybe awesome. Much better than Adarsh Urs version. I like it's simplicity and oldschool design. Thanks for your work.

This app has a reasonable Interface - *however* Developer(s) I dont appreciate your totally deceptive advertising on your website - In the list of features you advertise, you say it has Graphic Equaliser ability, and you show a picture of this Graphic Equaliser I specifically bought the PRO version of this app just because of this advertised feature only to find that there is NO Graphic Equaliser feature at all - Unhappy about that

Cannot connect. After pairing it ask for a password. Whatever password is entered it keeps saying wrong password. Website help troubleshooter says password should be vlcremote but this is also not accepted.

About this app

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.

✔ Turn fullscreen on and off
✔ Beautiful interface

• Limitations of Lite version •

Following user feedback, we're now much more generous with the free Lite 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!
