Constantly losing connection

Play/pause and stop buttons need to be bigger!If you are having constant disconnects, it may be your router. I would have never thought this would cause a local wifi issue. After hours of trouble shooting, and dealing with disconnects for a month I figured out it was the previous router firmware update that caused it. ASUS posted a newer firmware update that fixed the disconnects.

Nice app

Great remote. One request: please add more vertical space between the buttons. For example, moving the row of four buttons at the bottom (the one containing the headphone icon) down a bit would make it easier to tap the back arrow without accidentally tapping the headphone button. There’s a lot of blank space under that bottom row that could be used to make the remote less cramped.

Functional, but exceptionally ugly

It looks like the app does most of what you want from a Kodi remote. But is so ugly and overwhelming, you’re better off with the unofficial remote instead. Well, for most use cases. I keep this one for some functionality you won’t find elsewhere. So, it’s not one star, but in the middle, solely because of that. If there’s a UX designer one day, I think this app could be 5-stars easily. Till then, honestly, hard to recommend to an average Joe.

Thank you for the feedback. To be able to improve the UI experience, which you are not happy with, it would be great, if you would share some of your concerns and on which device you are (iPhone or iPad) via the support forum.

Navigation could be optimized

I really like having this remote! I just wish I could navigate to the remote control button style quicker without having to undo all my path navigation or deal with the fact that it’s on the settings sidebar.
