So I've been using Kore for quite some time. It's been fantastic for everything I've needed it for. The only complaint I have is recently on Android Pie. The audio/subtitle quick button is gone. Where did it go? I used to be able to select and download subtitles as well as adjust subtitle offsets very quickly within Kore. Thanks so much! Edit: Absolutely correct in your answer. After using it more i realized that it does show up eventually and it does seem to be tied to the connection quality.

Great app for controlling multiple kodi boxes. One slight problem though, once you cue multiple tv shows, movies, or albums/songs, you cannot rearrange them. So you need to be sure you put them into the cue in the order you want or you'll have to start over from the beginning. Just a small bug, but one that needs to be fixed. Will rewrite review once bug is fixed.

Good app. 2 suggestions: 1: Make the remote control buttons scalable so they show bigger on bigger screens, and move them up -- there's a ton of unused screen real estate there and it would work better for most users if the controls were centralized instead of being at the bottom. 2: Most of us have VPNs. So it would make sense to make it possible to use this app alongside VPNs. I suspect this is possible as is, but not easily. Thanks for your efforts/ consideration.

Always loved this one, makes browsing through menus while keeping the video full screen possible, and being able to have multiple kodi devices linked up means I don't have to keep track of different remotes. One thing though is that I can never get it to automatically link, always have to setup manual, really the only thing I take issue with

Okay so I was first annoyed I had to use another app to control Kodi through Google TV. However this remote is surprisingly well designed and feature packed. It syncs with media player and even gives synapse of watch your watching, while being able to use playlists. Kodi by far has been the best experience I've had as a media player.

Great app for my OSMC I'm loving it. The only issue I find is it's slow to enable subtitles embedded in videos and it takes long at times to show movie length just in case I want to skip to a certain point. The app can't access my Local Files even though I allowed the app to have acces to storage. May you please fix the issue with Local Files.
